20 Most Recent Hotpoint Aquarius WMA42 Front Load Washer - Page 9 Questions & Answers

Is it a dishwasher a washing machine or a drier? Washing machines don't have rotating arms and you said "I've managed to get the drier to drain"

I will assume it is a dishwasher in which case it sounds like your pump has failed.
I hope I have been of help but please do not hesitate to ask if you have any further questions.
I appreciate your vote if you appreciate my reply.

water pump is broken

Hi,

Although I do not know your particular machine I strongly suspect that the heater element is malfunctioning/broken. Even if it is a hot and cold fill it still requires the element to heat the water up to the correct temperature for the selected wash. If it is cold fill only it certainly needs the element all of the time- apart from rinses!
Sorry but it depends now on who you have at hand to repair as to your next step.

Hi.
It could be a combinatrion of both things, as bearings often fail, and the drum supportt is prone to corrosion and metal fatigue, which would give the exact symptoms you describe.
Either way it involves a complete stip down of washer to determine the exact problem

The belt is designed to be tight as it is self tensioning,the best way to do it is to remove both the top cover and the rear panel.
Tilt the washer forward and get someone to hold it for you,
fit the belt round the motor pulley first, and slowly feed it round the drum pulley turning the pulley at the same time. it will be tight, so watch your fingers, you can line the belt up properly once you have it round both pulleys.

There was more than 1 type of motor fitted to this model of washer. so it is important to get the correct thype of brush.
Have you tried Hotpoint direct?

Follow the menu on the left.

The Large black hose on the bottom of the tub houses the Filter ..Undo the Nylon clip at the top and you will see the filter within, note which way it comes out so that you refit it the correct way, with the holes lined up at the inlet/outlet.......

sounds like the termo stat packed in if you take the top off you will see it. It will have 2 wire 1 on each side it will be round common fault their are around £15 good luck hope this helps

hi

you need to clean the filter that is in the exit
of the washers water

Why no spin?..Is the water fully pumped out, is it out of load balance? This happens when too few items are in the drum the machine senses this and will not spin.......Hope this of some help

hello try this Someone has accidentally pressed some buttons and locked you into test mode.
To get out of it you need to press start, the display should go daft. Press start again and the display should settle down. Now press the on/off button and the start button at the same time and hold them down for a few seconds until the display shows d-end or d-off.
Your machine should now work. hope it helps

No, the machine does not have a heater unless it has a sanitizing cycle which heats already hot water even hotter.

For the machine to work as advertised, you'll need hot and cold water connections. However, if you just hookup the cold water and run the machine on its cold-water setting it will wash -- the laundry may not be as clean as you would like in some cases, but the machine will operate properly.

By putting it on the "fast spin" program the water should drain out. if not you have a blockage so check the following
first keep it simple, ensure outlet hose is not blocked or kinked....but if not follow these steps

• To sort this isolate from mains
• take off back inspection panel.
• tilt machine forward- get sum1 to hold it for u.
• The sump is the black hose attached to drum.
• place a basin under this and loosen jublie clamp using star head screw driver/ 8mm socket,
• pull sump downwards and remove any blockage.
• note the plastic ball is part of the sump assembley.
• refitt the sump again and tighten clamp, pull down firmly on sump to ensure fitted correctly

if there was nothing in the sump it is sumthing jamming the pump, hairgrip, nail, etc.

tilt machine forward as above with a basin ensuring isolated from mains power

• pump is attached to other end of sump hose, right side of machine as you look in the back.
• using flat screwdriver lift plastic tag up and slide pump assembley to the left releasing it from base of machine
• clip of plastic cover from top of pump
• remove wires from pump
• u should now be able to turn pump around so u can see 3 hex head screws
• remove screws taking note of the position of pump
• remove pump and clear blockage
• reverse steps to reassemble

if this does not sort it poss a new pump needed

There should be no condensation present if it is a condenser dryer, this is the idea of it.
As for tripping the electrice, then it suggests to me that the steam could be the cause of the problem.
As it is a new dryer, then I would strongly advise you ring Hotpoint service, or ring the help line number in your instruction book.
You can contact them at the following address if needed.

There should be a clip in the middle of the top of drawer you press this down quite hard to see it ,this then allows tray to be removed easy for cleaning

At the back of the machine at the lid there should be 3 screws undo them and then when they are off go to the front of the machine and slid the lid back a bang or to should remove the lid then do it the other way to put it back on. hope this helps.
