Hello All,

Tonight I got to come home to something wonderful... my washer had leaked ALL over my carpet "laundry room"(closet?)..

After some research I decided to start with the easiest thing first, as it appears my washer would only overflow on the "Super" setting, and would almost overflow on the "Large Load" setting...

It appears my research was correct, my washer pressure switch hose, a tiny clear plastic hose was clogged with fuzz...

I have taken it to the sink and "flushed" it out...(dont worry, no BG flush additives were used lol) then tried blowing the gunk out, as best I could. (I may just end up going to HD or Lowes and try to get a replacement..)

It appears there is still some gunk in there, any ideas on how to get the rest out? let me know your thoughts, thanks!
 
I attached a picture for reference, it seems like just a normal clear little plastic hose, but clogged with i guess what is soap scum

Run a piece of safety wire through it with a chunk of rag attached to the end. Really hot water is a good solvent.
