apm 8512 washing machine over filling?

My machine is filling higher than normal during the wash cycle..

I have checked and cleared the filter, and the water drains away no problem when its draining..

It has also developed another problem at the same time (perhaps the two problems are related?), it will not spin fast when it reaches the spin cycle..
Any ideas ??

After reading a few tricks and tips on here, I've managed fix both problems..
Just thought I would post my solution in case anybody else has the same problem..

To fix the over filling problem, take the lid off, at the rear right corner is a pressure switch with a black tube connected. Gently pull this tube off and blow. When it is clear, refit and this will cure the over-filling..

To fix the fast spin, you can adjust the tension on the belt by adjusting the motor, similar to how you would tighten the fan belt of a car. Remove the rear cover. Loosen the bolt on the motor and pry the motor over a little to take the slack out of the belt, then re-tighten the bolt. When tight, the belt should not be able to be pushed in more than about 15mm.

Hope this advice helps somebody else :o))
