Comes up on readout the pump blocked cant find type siemens washing machine(S 16-74)

SOURCE: my siemens washer will not pump the water out or spin

Sounds like your pump went out on the machine. They are not ease to replace though. You might want to kall some one out to fix.

SOURCE: pump filter blocked

Actually it was quite easy, unplug from mains lie it down on its back and unscrew the 4 screws around the filter/pump it will then come out enough for you access it easier, unplug the connection which has 2 black wires from the pump and unscrew the 3 torx screws which will then separate the pump from the filter and anything stuck inside will fall out before reassembly make sure the impeller is not damaged on the pump if it is you may have to replace the pump I'm told is quite cheap to replace, reassemble and away you go. Whole job only took me a couple of hours and saved me a fortune.

It appears your pump has failed in this instance.

For replacement parts - head on over to PartSelect.com or RepairClinic.com and enter in your full model number for a full parts listing.
I recommend both sites because ...


FixYa has no affiliation with either site - I have been using and recommending them for years - trouble free.

PartSelect has a great schematic database for locating the part on your unit and great "testimonials" for each part that often times includes HOW-TO information.
RepairClinic has pictures of each part they sell and also a great how-to and troubleshooting for basic repairs.


If your unit has never been serviced - there should still be an original service manual enclosed in plastic taped to the inside of the shell.
In the service manual are Error codes, maintenance procedures, and troubleshooting steps you can follow.


Anything too complicated or beyond your scope should be handled by a professional.

If you think you want to tackle the repair - and have gotten stuck on a step - reply to your question and I will be glad to help you out.
