hi Danny boy thank you for your advice it was very helpful. i did all you said and the filter appears quite clear.
i have put every thing back and the odd thing is when the machine is empty it is spinning slightly but not draining
if i put anything in the machine it is not managing to go through the spin cycle at all and still not draining. do you think it may be the pump itself causing this ? thanks again

filter - generally located behind a panel at the foot of the machine.Some are obvious like little square hatches and some are hidden behind the trim panel at the foot of the machine. Once panel is removed the filter should be visible. Its generally a circular plastic fitting which unscrews in an anticlockwise direction. Some hotpoint, indesit and ariston filters are located in the big black sump hose (the one that leaves the bottom of the outer drum and connects to the pump). Remove the back cover, locate hose, remove the tensioner clip by squeezing the tabs together with a large pair of pliers or vise grips, remove the hose, take out filter and clean. Be prepared for spillage of water. May help if the machine is tilted backwards at an angle.
