Great answer, I broke the kick panel whilst trying to prise it off though (Why dont they make it obvious how to remove it?)....found 3 paper clips, 2 hair clips and about 10-20 matches inside, works lovely now Thanks:-)

Hi Joe. Did you ever resolve your problem? I too now have an identical problem and wondered if you had any tips on how to mend it?
Thanks

pull the filter out which is behind the plastic kick plate at the bottom .once filter is out shine a torch in to the filter housing and make sure the drain pump impellor rotates as they have a habit of getting jammed up with fluff etc.
