Washing machine will rinse but not spin
Hello geoff... when the machine will not spin, the transmission has failed. This is a very costly part and an even more costly repair. If the machine is more than 3 years old you should look at replacement rather than repair. Joe
Thanks for choosing Fixya!

Washing still smells foisty
this may be due to hard water..in certain areas the water has more calcium in it to others and is called hard water which may be responsible.you could try fabric softener or laundry additive.

Hotpoint aquaris wml 560, 1) all lights flashing
Hate to tell you this, but the board must be replaced. Once the lights start flashing it is an indication that the program is corrupt. If you dont have anyone who can reprogram the micom, then install a new board. Quote the model and serial no. to the supplier to get the correct board.

Wma56-not heating water
If the machine was moved incorrectly, ie. the shipping/transit bolts were not refitted then most likly the cabling/contacts of the element were damaged if not the element itself. The element can usually be accessed from the back of the machine an is normally in the lower area of the drum. A quick visual inspection may identify a broken component, if it does not remove the element usually only held in with one or two screws, just make sure that the seal is intact and in good condition when refitting,
Hope this helps, thanks for using Fixya.

Change door seal
For most front-loaders:
Lubricate the slot which fits over the tub with washing-up fluid.
Starting at the top, press the seal so the flange of the tub enters the
slot on the seal. Work your way round the using thumbs to force the slot
on the tub flange. When slot is on the flange all way round, fit the
spring which holds it on. The spring goes into a slot on the outside of
the seal. This is quite difficult and you may need another pair of
hands. Fit the outside of the seal to the cabinet - this
is easy and fit the plastic clamping ring.
Test for leaks before
using. Use rinse to test as the water level is higher. (There is no glue anywhere, only clamps,etc)

Wahing machine washes but will not
Power off the mains. The
filter is located behind the silver plate at the back of the machine at
the
bottom. Four screws hold it on. Drain
out all the water. The filter is inside
the big black rubber hose attached between the pump and the main drum.
Remove
the plastic clip holding it to the pump unit and then the metal cir clip
holding it to the main drum. Inside is a white molded cone and a big
white ball
which floats. You will find a lot of junk here, clean out thoroughly. To
refit
put white cone back inside just as you found it, at the bottom, fit ball
back
into the cone. Attach to the bottom to the drum and re-fasten the cir
clip.
Finally reconnect the gator to the pump unit and tighten the plastic
clip. Check out the pump too before reconnecting.
And rate me nice pl for the
free help!

WILL WASHING MACHINE WORK WITH ONLY A COLD WATER
Yes, any machine should work with just a cold water supply. The internal heating element will bring water up to the required temperature.
Most machines sold today have only cold water fill, as that is better for removing stains - putting hot water onto a stain will set it rather than remove it.
