Servis went bust (again) and their site went down with it. A new company has recently taken over but their web site doesn't appear to contain any downloadable instruction manuals. I've contacted them asking if they have any plans to make them available - especially as they are making heavy play on the "Servis heritage".

You say it's filling forever but not if it's overfilling (and therefore flooding). If a washing machine overfills it would normally flood water out - troubleshoot here - Washing machine is overfilling but if the water is constantly running down the drain it could be siphoning as described here - Washing machine constantly fills with water and goes down the drain
