UNPLUG THE WASHER .....pull washer forward and tilt back so resting it on something,, on the front at the bottom theres a small panel it opens to the side, in there is a screw cap (put a bowl under this cap) unscrew this SLOWLY if it jams keep turning it back and forth until it frees off then wait for the water to stop put your finger down the hole and feel for any rubbish i.e. fluff ,coins, hair grips , bra wires, remove them and then screw in the cap so its tight job done..
