We have a twin tub washer that we use in the van.It has stopped draining,should be gravity drained.I have tried putting diluted bicarbonate soda down but it has taken 24hr for 1ltr to drain down.Does anybody have any other ideas? Thanks in advance

When I worked in the dry cleaners the pipework was often blocked by coins ,someone was supposed to check each garment prior to putting in machine also check discharge spout/hose for fluff or hose collapse.

A sock in the drain hose?

Maybe try blowing it out with a compressor if you have one, if not take it to the garage and use the air hose and see if it works..

Try blowing up the hose.

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried blowing up the pipe when it first happen, but no luck, it shares the drainage with the spinner the blockage is somewhere before the spinner pipe joins but I can't get to it

When this happeded to ours Colin took the inners out, via the wash tub, and found a face wipe in the filter. If your is similar to ours you should see a single screw in the centre of the wash tub.
