door lock needed

you will have to call a service tech into your home as the only reason a machine will not drain is the pump is not working.

it looks like you need to put the belt back on which is inside the machine. to do this open the lid with screws on back take lid off then you should see the belt inside the machine and where is was before on the drum of the machine. slip it back on and put lid back on and it should start turning again. hope this helps.

Hi,
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.

Unplug your appliance before working on it
Thank You

1. 1 A washing machine won't spin if the water can't drain. Check hoses for any kinks or clogs that may prevent the water from draining. If a hose has kinks, try to straighten out the kinked hose. If it can't be straighten sufficiently, replace the hose. If hoses are not kinked, check for clogged hoses. This can be done by using the screwdrivers to remove the hoses and looking for clogs or running a water hose through the clogged hose to remove the clog. Use the rags and bucket to clean up the water that comes out of the hoses when they are disconnected. Once the clog is cleared, put the drain hose back into place. The washer should drain and spin now if a clogged or kinked hose was the problem.
   
2. 2 If the washer still won't drain or spin, check to see if the lid is not closing all the way or if the lid switch is not clicking into place. Close the lid and make sure that it closes all the way down. When the lid closes, the lid switch should click. If there is no clicking sound, then the switch may need to be replaced. Follow manufacturer's directions for replacing the switch. If the lid does not close all the way, visually check for signs that the lid is bent. If bent, try to bend it back into place.
   
3. 3 Loose or broken belts could also prevent a washing machine from draining or spinning. Pull the washer away from the wall and, using the screwdrivers and wrenches, remove the back panel. Using the flashlight, visually check for any broken or loose belts. Replace any broken or loose belts. Although replacing washing machine belts is difficult, anyone who has replaced belts on a car, lawn mower or even a bicycle chain should be able to accomplish the task.
   
4. 4 Another possibility for a washing machine to not spin or drain is the pump. With the back panel still off the washer, check the pump with the voltmeter to ensure that the pump is getting power. If the washer is getting power, turn on the washer and listen to find out if the pump is running but the water is still not draining. It may be necessary to remove the pump and clean it or to replace the pump with a new one. Once the pump is replaced, turn on the washer to determine if it will now drain and spin.
   
5. 5 If all of the above steps fail to produce a washing machine that drains or spins, then it is time to call a professional repairman. Use the screwdrivers and wrenches to replace the panel on the washer and push it back against the wall.
   

hello,

what e15 indicate means an error code that there have been an over flow of water from the drum over to the panel or the wire that suppl power to the screen .

what you will have to do to fix up this problem from the screen is to unscrew the screws with screw driver care then trace the wire ,that is the power supply down to the panel and also to the screen clean up all forms of liquid around the wires and also the panel carefully . then couple it back with care to is position with this the problem is solve.

thank you.

YOU WILL NEED TO REMOVE THE MOTOR FIRST TO SEE IF THE BRUSHES CAN BE REPLACED AS SOME OF THE MOTORS FITTED WERE SEALED UNITS. 15 MINUTES TO REMOVE THE MOTOR. BRUSHES ONLY ABOUT £25

These machines have a max load system, please try it empty, and tell me if it still has the problem.

Try this link it covers most styles http://appliancehelponline.com/toploadcabinet.html

sounds like water is getting into the electrics....or your trip circuit has became week...try switching the trip switch from another circuit.

it may be ur brushes or failing that ur bearings

Check if the waste pipe isnt blocked.

The filter is located within the sump at he bottom middle of lower drum.Hose other end connects to pump.Remove lip at drum end look in and withdraw filter from sump hose to clean. Note how it comes out ensure refitted same way, water test machine......hey bobs yer uncle

wash enhance and on/off button flashing on washing machine'

This can be replaced provided the fixing points are o/k and not broken as some times happens

Sounds loike the main drum bearings have failed.
Spin the drum by hand from the front, and if it feels rough, or is rumbling or grating, then the main bearigs have failed.
Quite an expensive repair, unless it is covered by the Hotpoint 5 year parts guarantee, check with Hotpoint.

tip machine right back and unscrew valve. It is probably caught on something. Hope this helps ( I had a kirby stuck in mine)

Normally a flashing door light indicates the door is not closed. Possibly the contacts are faulty and latch needs to be replaced. You could do a bypass on the latch to check but i suggest you get a technician to check for you.(not good if you accidently bridge the live to neutral.If same thing continues, there is possibly a motion detector on the motor which indicated with light flashing you can open the door. Check the connections on the motor. Otherwise board is faulty.
