I'd visually check the outflow hose for kinks first, then figure out where the manufacturer has hidden that machine's lint filter (n.b.: Yes, washers have them too). Failing that, it's time to observe the outflow during a "drain" portion of the cycle, and if it is not full-throttle start ding some disassembly.<br /><br />On my last incident of this sort with a Euro machine I found $1.67 in the hose leading to the machine's drain pump.Douglas2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-11349178897762105792014-02-03T09:19:52.888-05:002014-02-03T09:19:52.888-05:00I think Sdv1949 may mean HE (high efficiency) dete...I think Sdv1949 may mean HE (high efficiency) detergent, but HE is known for sudsing(?) less.TimDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-53070168650260200822014-02-03T09:09:21.717-05:002014-02-03T09:09:21.717-05:00HD?
