i have a wma 46 hot point washing machine. The washing machine works ok until there is no such water in the machine it wont move. That is pump wont pump out wast water in the wash. Is it the pum that is burnt out as i measure the impedance to be 160 ohms, or is there also a blockage some wher? If so Do i need to take everything apart to clean it out first

I have just had the same problem with my Bosch 4030. I cleaned the filter and it is now working better than it has for a long time. Just watch out for the amount of water that will empty from the filter area. Have plenty of towels to hand. Once I released the filter slightly the machine started emptying immediately. Turns out it was a small piece of metal that caused the problem.

Hope this helps

take off inspection panel at rear. got to get rid of water by putting hose as low as poss into bucket for water to syphon out a few bucket full. then looking at pump black pipe remove and look into it see if blockage around impellor. usually there espicialy if pomp humming. usually u dont need to seprrste it
