Indesit WG 1234 T not doing spin cylce?

I have just been reading the answers to the question about the Indesit WG 1234 T doing the washing programme but not being able to do the spin cycle properly it just spins at a low speed leaving the clothes still wet. Some of the answers say I need to blow down a tube but after having taken off the lid and the back I cant see which tube I should be blowing down. I blew down the pipe which drains the water but nothing happened. Can anyone help?

and one last thing,check the pump filter,its behind the little door at the front of the machine,if its blocked,you will get the same symptons,

take lid off,look for a round object,or it could be square,there will be a thin clear or coloured hose coming from it,this goes to the pressure chamber,this unit fills with water when you start the wash,it traps air and operates the pressure switch,that advances the timer,puts feed to motor and the heater,now,if you have a blockage in the pressure chamber,the the pressure switch will be unable to reset properly,and therefore a feed will not get to the timer telling it to advance to the spin cycle,modern machines are designed not to spin if they still have too much water in them,they just stay on what we call the distribute speed,(83 rpm)to check the chamber,when you find the hose,remove it from the pressure switch,(turn of the power when you remove the top of machine) this will cause the switch to reset,try it on spin now,only spin,do not let it fill.or you get a flood.if the machine spins,them you have a blockage in the pressure chamber,or hose.they get blocked with soap and gunk from any oils ,creams that are on clothes,hope this helps
