Hotpoint WMA58 Front Load Washer - Page 3 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Here's the user's manual....it should have the wiring included. Good Luck

Probably blocked filter, remove lower rear cover, locate and remove large black hose on bottom of drum, remove and clean filter inside hose.
Please rate my solution.
Thanks.

Remove lower rear panel, locate large black hose, unfasten, and you will find plastic `filter located inside hose, remove and clean.
Please rate my solution.
Thanks.

My suggestion would be to use a ,Hair Dryer to dry out areas effected. Please make sure that Washer is Unplugged first.
Thanks

We had this problem & called our repair man in. We had accidentally knocked the 'Variable Temperature' dial down too low. It should ALWAYS be set to max (95). The programmer will still sort out the correct temperatures for the different programmes, such as cold wash, but setting that to whatever temperature means that that is the max it will ever reach, Since then, we have not had that problem again.

it wont be the machinei think.
try doing a hot wash cyle on an empty machine with some descaler powder or soda crystals to clean it out.

Firstly remove band holding front of seal then remove the screws from the door lock and push lock through.
Remove kick plate from bottom of machine &take out 2 screws holding front of machine.
Remove soap drawer &take out screws behind it then bring facia forward & slide to right to remove. Take care at this stage not to disturb wiring on cicuit board. An extra pair of hands would be helpfull to hold it.
Remove screws holding front as you did at bottom then lift and remove front panel.
Seal is now easily accessed.
Post back if any further assistance needed.
Thankyou for using Fixya.

This is most likely the bearing.

Hello, This depends on how old your machine is mine is now 7 years old so I do not want to invest in long term soltions. So I repaired my own, I bought a new interlock and replaced the old one that did not work. So I shorted out the three links that go to the interlock, the machine now shows the lock is always on and you can open the door during the wash cycle so BEWARE. Also if you have never wired a plug or fixed basic electrics DO NOT DO THIS. 1. Turn off power and unplug. (Very Important) 2. Remove lid you will need torx drivers. 3. Unscrew door interlock from the front of the machine. 4. Lift out interlock. Try replacing the interlock with spare first (about £15). 5. If new interlock does not work do the following. 6. Put Interlock back on without wires attched to it. 7. From car spares shop buy spade conectors and create a three way shorting link (insulate well). 8. Put shorting link into each of the wires that go to interlock. Safely tie up wire to a loom (do not let dangle) 9. Shut the door remove hands and try starting the machine. 10. If that works put the machine back together. And warn people that the DOOR CAN BE OPENED DURING WASH CYCLE and STARTED WITH DOOR OPEN. So check when the machine has stopped properly.

HI THIS SOUNDS LIKE A CIRCUIT BOARD FAULT PROBABLY BLOWN 3 SMALL COMPONENTS & A BIT OF TRACK ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND SIDE OF BOARD.IT IS USUALLY ONE OF 2 FAULTS THAT CAUSE THIS EITHER A MOTOR PROBLEM IE CARBON BRUSHES TOO LOW OR FAULTY MOTOR THE OTHER THING THAT USUALLY BLOWS THE BOARD IS THE DOOR INTERLOCK GOING FAULTY. I HAVE REPAIRED LOADS OF THESE BOARDS & 9 TIMES OUT OF 10 ITS ONE OF THEM THAT BLOWS IT HOPE THIS HELPS!

pull hard

As you have probably found out, hotpoint washing machines do not have any customer accessible pump filters...

If you want to get on and fix this yourself you will need to get machine out and tip it up. have a look underneath. You will need tools etc.

1. Firstly check the power is off / disconnected.

**Next double check the power is off / disconnected.**

2. Check for obstructions inside the sump hose leading to the water pump. These machines have a filter/flap located in the sump hose which can get jammed up. See link http://www.4hotpoint.co.uk/cgi-bin/product.pl?PID=636775&brand=&model=WMA58&part=sump

3. My bet is that the pump itself is faulty. Check visually for blockages inside it - (do not dismantly)
For a replacement see the following for info on the pump. http://www.4hotpoint.co.uk/cgi-bin/product.pl?PID=640428&brand=&model=WMA58&part=pump

4. Finally I have heard of hotpoint wma's failing to pump water because the heater element is faulty -because water temp never reaches correct heat so programme halts.- but I cannot confirm this. To prove this put your machine on Final Spin - the first thing it does is empty the machine - no heating...
if it does then its probably the heater.

Regards

And don't forget to rate; thanks!

dan some of the washer are easy to change some are not need model no

I would check pump to make sure its not blocked with object.

I ve come across this problem many a time... my job is recondtioning these models of machines for the last 3 years..
This problem has three solutions..
the first one is the control board,, very unlikey but has been known,
secondly the wiring loom unlikey but has happend.
Thridly the motor itself ....This is the most common remedy to this problem.

Check your drain hose. It should be at the same height as the top of your machine. If not high enough, make a loop that is high enough. The water could be syphoning out of machine as it fills.

That is quite normal. What is the problem with the machine?

the way i done it was open the door take take the wire band of around rubber seal__as in picture one.__2 take top of machine of and take spring of as shone in picture 2 you shold be abble to take silver band of around rubber seal

are you using liquid detergent? this has the effect when used for long periods of making the machine smell like drains. if so, put on a boil wash with no clothes and revert to powder detergent. there is a filter which needs clearing if drain is slow.to access, remove bottom panel at back. filter is located in large pipe leading from tub to pump on the lhs. undo this pipe at the tub end and the filter is inside. some water will come out so be prepared. unplug from mains first

easy.isolate from mains. take top off.remove clamp that holds seal to cabinet and unpeal seal from cabinet. seal is held to tub by a clamp (like a huge jubilee clip) undo and peel seal from tub. when fixing new seal, lubricate with washing=up fluid
