    So I washed a mat. It ended up being too heavy for machine and wouldnt spin. So i took it out and now im left with water still in drum. Used the drain/spin/rinse buttons, no luck. Anyone?

    Hi op what make is the machine??
    Dont know it it helps but on the bottom right hand side of machine you should have access to filter on machine.

    Usually have to open a small door to access it depending on make you might see a small black tube you can drain the machine that way or else you can remove the filter itself but be ready for a fair amount of water to flow out

    If you take out the filter it will just empty all water on to the floor.
    Look for that first and let us know how you get on, something like this im trying to explain to you

    Forgot to mention while you had the filter out to check the impellor on the pump was free and not blocked.

    The plug had yucky stuff on the threads I washed all of it off. I was afraid to look in the hole so didn't see anything else. There surprisingly was no smell. I've machine on now on rinse just to clean drum and ensure it's still working. Hopefully it's back to normal. Thanks a mill!

    If you put the mat back in the washing machine it probably wont spin because of the weight of it.

    True grrr I have it outside on a horse, even the line was straining! Don't know what I'll do with all these downpours! On positive note mat is back to its original colour, just soaking wet! Ha
