jamed drum?

be sure to remove the plug from the mains supply before working on your machine

you need to determine where in the drum the restriction is, ie front edge or along the width of the drum, these type of blockages can be difficult to sort, a wire clothes hanger with a hook turned on the end i find usually will do the job, if it is underneath remove the heater element and sump hose to give you access. by looking inside drum with a flashlight you may see what is blocking it and give you an idea where to start
