    Drum check

    Just come in from going out to feed the grow on's in the garage and I heard a gurgling sucking noise.
    Followed the noise to the main pump from the drum to the shower,thought not getting water so checked inside the drum,shit clean side nearly empty then saw the float switch against the screen mesh stuck up.

    Quick adjustment and all ok.
    I had been adjusting it earlier on and mustn't have tightened it up enough and the wash timer was on 74 mins and it has been cleaning around every 25 mins so must have been stuck for nearly 1/2 hr, very lucky.

    Lesson to be learnt.

    It must have swivelled round into the mesh and luckily just stayed in the upright position so with the mesh blocking up the switch didnt drop to activate the drum so the clean side started to empty.
