Despite taking our washing machine apart, a few weeks ago, to sort out its non entry of water, we were left with a slightly grating noise. We had already checked the waste outlet and nothing was in it.
However, over the last few days, it had become louder and more irritating so I drained said valve and opened it up. Here it what was in it:
The metal tab from inside a shirt collar and a little bit of soapy gunk. I haven't tried it since so hope the grating noise will now have gone. I guess the metal tab was hitting the impeller blade inside the waste pipe.
Hopefully, if the noise has gone, that will have saved us a couple of hundred pounds.
Well done and fingers crossed that it's sorted the problem.

Hope that was the problem, money saved and the satisfaction of fixing it yourself xx
