    Default Washers not working :(

    I let the washers run dry.. gone to fill up.. tried the washers again... nothing..

    I can hear what i presume is the pum whirling away... but i get not water... Nothing at the back nothing at the front...

    Is this simply just a blockage from some poss gunk??
    Or could it be something else?

    Is there any additves i can add to help clear the blockage or is it a rip it out clean it by hand job?
