I'm just an SLF but tonight, my wife's washing machine didn't spin the clothes after rinsing them.

Last time the machine didn't do what it was supposed to, I pulled out the filter and found a coin in it after removal of which the machine worked perfectly.

Tonight, I pulled out the filter but found a coin jammed in the hose. I spent about 20 minutes trying to prise it loose but even after I'd got it out, the machine didn't seem to want to spin.

5 minutes later, my wife realised the spin speed dial was set to zero - she reckoned she'd accidentally nudged it from its usual setting while cleaning the machine last night ...

Two points arise from this tedious little tale -

1. Pretty daft of Hoover to design a washing machine with a spin speed setting of zero BUT ...

2. Don't get tunnel vision-ed on the "usual solution" - scan the instrument panel (which Hoover WMs have as well as Boeings!) to see if something's out of place.
