Thanks for the reply, the problem is that it may do it 2or 3 washes on the trot and then work ok for the next 4 or 5. I will certainly check under the filters again but if I use the start sequence a few times to empty the machine the pump works ok. I've recently moved the machine and took the opportunity to check the discharge hose (this has been an ongoing problem for quite some time) and it seemed ok. Do I have to pull the machine out again to get to the pump? I've a nast feeling that this could be an electronic problem.
