My Simpson Ezi Sensor 5.5kg Front Loader keeps pausing in the middle of washes. It won't complete a wash cycle no matter how many times I unpause it, it just pauses again some time later. Also the detergent never goes through to the washing machine, it just stays in the detergent loading part. Please help!
You might be putting the detergent in the wrong part of the dispenser,or you might have the hose on the wrong way,or the water valve has failed. Read up on your user manual to see what happens on this part of the cycle,does the w/m empty ,then try and bring in more water?? The main give away to this fault is,detergent still in the dispenser.Check all your filters on your inlet hose and water valves.
You have to ask yourself what has changed,cheers.
I've checked the manual and am putting the detergent in the correct part of the dispenser. The machine fills up all right but seems to be just pausing in the middle of the cycle and not emptying. The filter is fine, but I'll have a look at the hoses and valves if I can find where they are. Thanks!

Did you find out how to fix it, Im having the same problem!
SOURCE: We are using our Electrolux/Simpson Ezi Sensor washing
also have the same machine - if you wash with the eco rinse the clothes will ALWAYS have the soap residue on them and if you use the deep rinse then this machine will just sit there doing the very occasional agitate for up to 6 hours - can't win - have only just hung out a load and as usual there are many many dry spots on the sheets which is a daily occurence - really hate this machine and it's so called u-beaut functions -
SOURCE: I just got new Simpson
Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
NO- you are not going too fast for the machine! As you say that the second load contained WOOL blankets it is possible that the drain filter has become blocked - yes, already.
I would gently suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor/pump lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters and many machines will not even go to spin or release the door lock if there is any water still left inside.
Here are my complete and general guidance notes for checking both the drain motor filter and the drain motor ;-0)
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!) and most are held in by a round cover/knob. Sometimes the filter will not come out with the cover and you will have to persuade it to come out to play.
REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT.
It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. Using something suitable like a glove see if it is easy to briefly slow the motor down. If it is easy then the motor is malfunctioning.
MANUAL
You will need to type into your search engine/web browser '(make model number) washer manual' and you should be presented with a number of sources from which you can either download for free or have to pay a nominal amount.
You could also try the manufacturer's web site direct ;-0)
If these have assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!
