if u have a ***** then sake it

Must drain fully in order for door to open....

Find your thermal protection switch. It looks like a big round button with two screws holding it on either side. (Make sure your drier is unplugged!) There will be a wire going from it to the heating element. It is what regulates the temperature, so it doesn't overheat. Unplug the wires off it and check across the terminals with an ohm meter. It should have full continuity. If not, it's your problem. Replace it. Easy repair.

Check both springs on top /remove lid you may find one spring is broken......

I trust this is the water heater you are referring to...There is a large nut 10mm in the centre of it this has to be tight,this in turn will Expand the rubber water seal and in effect stop any leaks...God luck

I would first of all check the filter.
Remove the rear panel of washer.
Remove large black hose connected to bottom of drum.
Remove and clean plastic filter inside hose.
Reassemble and test.
If it still does not spin properly, then I would suggest you check the brushes in the motor.
Remove top covedr, and locate motor on top right of washerYou will see the brush holders at the end of the motor.
Also make sure you have selected the correct spin speed.

Try a new motor brush kit its often the case its worn.........Cost around £18 parts Simple to fit ,take care when fitting as they can get easy broken...........

Hi, The washer will fail to spin if there is too much water in the machine, check the filter on the machine is not clogged or blocked if it's not then the pump could be suspect, normally you can hear it running on the spin cycle. it could also be the motor brushes are worn.

if its none of the above I would suggest that it maybe the pressure switch or pressure switch tube blocked other than that the last resort is the programmer or motor control panel.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
Although I don't know your particular machine, if you haven't already done so check the drain motor lint tray/filter- it could be blocked.
It is normally found in most machines behind the lower front cover.
REMOVE POWER FROM THE MACHINE AND HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE AND /OR RAGS AT CLOSE HAND!
The filter is behind a round panel/knob which should turn anticlockwise- this is when the water is likely to appear! The filter may come out with the cover or remain in its housing. Should just pull out for cleaning.
Hope this cures the problem, if not it could be the drain pump itself malfunctioning. That would be another step.
Cheers,

Both the Hotpoint WD63 (wash dryer) and the Hotpoint WM22 (washing machine) have a drain filter in the sump hose at the bottom of the tank.

This filter is a last line protection for the pump and is not designed to be cleaned on regular intervals by the user.

Hi, The belt is held to the motor by a series of grooves and then around the big pulley. If everything is in alignment, the belt stays centered on the pulley. If the pulley becomes loose or the bearing shaft it rides on go bad, the belt will not stay on and it needs to be seriviced. Hope this helps.

Connect it to a power source after unplugging the connector? Is the fan freely rotating and have you checked the windings for continuity with a test meter? If it passes those tests its probably ok unless it has shorted turns on the windings, which is why the final test should be to connect it independently and see if it runs. A better way of doing things would be to monitor the voltage across the motor connectors with a test meter when it is supposed to be running. If it has volts but does not run then it is faulty. BE CAREFUL AS IT IS HIGH VOLTAGE SO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T TOUCH ANY LIVE PARTS AND ANY CONNECTIONS ARE INSULATED

If you remove the complete rear cover, and the large black hose fastened to bottom of drum, you can get your fingers in the aperature where the the heater is, and hopefully locate the object in question, if you cannot , then it will probably find it's way into the filter located in the large black hose previously removed.

hi you need a new level switch its a round switch with wires going into it with a rubber tube not expensive to repair and very easy to change let me know if you have any problems

The maximuin wash load capacity is 5kg, but only half this for a drying cycle.
Hope this information helps.

Could you please tell me the model number that is on your machine?
