OK here goes my washer has been fine until yesterday it finished its normal cycle and as i took the washing out my kitchen floor got covered in water
I bought it in april/may 2008 from Argos so am out of my guarentee with them.
there is also a constant light on one of the symbols at the front which has never been on before, I need to know how to locate and remover the filter to check that is not blocked, i have no idea what i am doing, I have took the pipe off leading to my ubend under the sink but nothing happened.
Can anybody help how to solve this problem so i can get back to my washing

The filter has been checked and is clear, the pipe to the u turn seems to be clear as water came out of it, the propeller on the pump turned around I did that myself with a screwdriver, the spin works fine.
#This constant light that i mentioned before on the symbols is kind of bow shaped the green light on that is on is this an indication of something?
Unfortunatly I have mislaid my handbook

Thankyou for your response, we have done the filter which is clear, could you tell me where the pump is?

undo the clip holding the pipe to the sink u bend, check that the u bend hole is not blocked if ok place the end of drainpipe into a empty bowl,lower the pipe and bowl to the floor ,watch out for the water flowing out, you may have to empty the bowl due the amount of water in machine thrown this outside as you cannot use the sink, when water stops gently remove the front lower kick panel you should see the filter housing ( use old towel for spillage ) unscrew and clean filter out ,shine a torch in hole check pump is clear and turns,
reassemble filter and hoses, put the wet clothes in drum advance the program to a spin and try a spin program,
no joy its change the drain pump ,
