New pump fitted, no blockage - WMA46P still won't drain!

Washer refuses to drain! Despite no blockages, anywhere, new pump and kink free sump hose, the only way the pump will activate is if I squeeze the sump hose mid cycle; this seems to trigger the pump into action and the cycle continues. Without this intervention, the washer eventually just stops with the drum full of water. Help!!!

    The sump hose Stock Number: ES487846 contains an 'Eco ball' to ensure detergent does not drop into the sump when filling and stays in the drum. If this Eco ball is sticking the pump may not be able to drain the water.
