Front-loading washing machine

Washing machine programmes appear to be out of sync suddenly.. I have cleaned the filter and it was pretty choked up.. I wonder if that might have affected the programmes in some way.. water seems not to be coming through with the same force as usual either on certain programmes..

Kink in the filler hose Water level sensor blocked[as you cleaned the filter, did you do this one?]

Water level sensor is at the highest point in the machine and looks like a black doughnut
This has a wire to the harness and a plastic tube that runs down to the lowest part of the drum housing where it is attached to a bottle like device that's is fixed to the housing.
Water goes into the bottle which compresses the column of air in the tube which actuates the switch which tells the programmer how much water is about.
This little bottle also get filled with crud- soap residue and will interfere with the water compressing the air column.
So it too needs a good clean out.

What may be causing my washing not to finish the washing cycle

If you think your washing machine may be faulty, check the following points before calling a Service Engineer. These checks could prevent a charge being made for the Service man's visit if the machine is found to be in perfect working order.
Initially check the filter on your washing machine and clean if necessary, your manual should detail this procedure.
If your machine will not start or complete the programme, check:

The plug, the socket and the switch, if necessary, with another appliance.
The fuse in the plug.
That the door is closed.
That a programme is accurately selected.

If water will not enter, check:

The hot and cold hoses are correctly connected to the relevant caps and that these are turned on.
That a suitable programme has been selected.

If water will not drain, check:

That the outlet hose is not kinked or raised more than 40

Remove washing machine filter for cleaning: How do I remove the filter on my Bosch class iXX front load washing machine for cleaning? We can turn it 1/3 anticlockwise but it won't pull out.

Something must be jamming the filter. You will need to just keep working it. If you cannot get it to open, you will need to replace the whole assembly.

What is problem code IE and how do I fix it on my LG front load washing machine?

An IE error code will appear if the washer has not filled with water in approximately 8 minutes. If an IE error code appears on the washer, check to make sure both hot and cold-water taps are open completely. After both valves have been opened, unplug the washer for 10 seconds and retry the wash cycle. if this doesn't help then there are filters on the inlet hose connections of the washing machine. They are intended to filter away mineral deposits from hard water and other debris from getting into the unit. If clogged, water will not flow through these filters into the washer. Turn off both the hot and cold water taps, disconnect the inlet hoses from the back of the washing machine, and clean the inlet filters gently but thoroughly. wm_inlet_filter_removal(1).jpg
