My washing machine has got really noisy during the washing cycle when water enters the machine directly into the drum - i have been told it could be the recirculation pump because also for the last few weeks not much water has been going into the machine through the spout in the door seal. Is it a reasonably simple job to do - i do not want to spend too much money as the machine is about 7 years old.

Many thanks

Thanks for your answer, will clean out pump first then. As there are 2 pumps in this machine are they located together

if the pump is noisy it might just need removing and cleaning out so before you spend money remove and clean pump/hoses etc.pump held to base with one 8mm headed screw.easy to do
