Water everywhere!! Aaargh!! Coming out of the Washing Machine drawer....
Finally found the problem. It was those little sheets for keeping clothes white. They had travelled the length of the outlet pipe and got stuck in the filter.
I opened the filter at the front lower right hand corner (Zanussi model), removed the offending blockage and hey, presto, one fixed washing maching, one very wet kitchen floor, one fed-up, stressed and exhausted lady.
Well at least I can get my washing done now, could have been a lot worse.
