Hotpoint Aquarius WF220 Front Load Washer - Page 6 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

sounds like something is jamming the pump, strip pump down and clean

can you hear the motor spinning.

Please follow the step by step instructions below.....
 
 
1)  Turn off water. Disconnect electrical supply and water hoses.
2)  Remove agitator and cap from machine ( this is not always possible as the agitator gets frozen on the shaft, it just makes the job a little easier )
3)  Lay machine on it's front. Protect front of the unit from scratches. Do not leave it over night on it's front as some oil will leak out the breather hole on top of the transmission.
4)  Remove rear service panel
5)  Loosen both nuts holding the motor mounting bracket in the slotted base plate holes. (see figure 1)

Hi, A bleach based cleaner should improve things. It sounds like its a form of mildew , an airbourne fungus that likes damp places. Once bleached it should stay clear for a while. Make sure you rinse it after to avoid damaging your clothes. Hope this helps, Nick.

its a matter of removing the front retaining wire and the inner one which holds it onto the drum, an easy enough job to get off, sometimes a pain to get the inner off and on depending whether it s the screw or clamp type , screw=easy. to get the clamp off use a screwdriver to wiggle the bent wire out of the ratchet grooves. to put back is done with long nose pliers, preferably bent nose ones.

turn the machine on while pressing the start and on buttons at the same time until dOFF appears.

loop round the motor first then up around the pulley, this will be tight so pull halfway round and hold it to the pulley while turning it, rather like refitting a bicycle chain. make sure it runs cetrally on the pulley by adjusting it on the motor shafts grooves.

If you press and hold the door and the lights come on, then I syspect that the door catch or spring may be broken.
If it has a start/pause, try that.
Hope this helps.

Two possibles for this are aloose balance block or cracked drum spider.The front block is most prone to coming loose.
To check spider rotate drum little by little and pull towards you to check for movement.
Post back if further help needed.
Thankyou

It leaksYour washer can develop several types of leaks. You can track down a leak based on when it occurs: 

During fill only
During drain and spin only
All the time

During fill only
If the washer leaks only during the fill cycle, check these:

Air-gap device -The air gap is a small device found on most washers that prevents the wash water from being siphoned into the household water supply. It's located either mid-way along or at the end of the black rubber hose that comes from the water-inlet valve. Often it's made of translucent plastic. If one of the air-gap components deforms or cracks, you may need to replace it.


The tube -There's a rubber tube that runs between the water-inlet valve and either the air-gap or the inlet spout. If it cracks or breaks, it can cause a leak. 


Inlet spout -Most washers have a plastic spout near the top of the main clothes tub that directs the water into the tub. If the spout cracks or breaks free of its mounting, it can cause a leak. 



During drain and spin only
A washer that leaks only during the spin cycle often has a leak in the main drain hose. Inspect the entire hose and correct any problem you find. Alternatively, the steel or plastic outer tubs can rust, split, or be punctured. This may be most visible during large loads and high water levels. If this happens, you may have to replace the entire outer tub--but that may not be an economical repair to make. Consult a qualified appliance repair technician for further details. 


All the time
If the washer leaks all the time, check these:

Hot and cold water fill hoses - Check the hot and cold water hoses from the household plumbing. If either hose is leaking, tighten it or replace it, as appropriate.


Main tub seal - The main tub seal is located between the transmission and the outer tub. It's the primary water seal in the outer tub for the transmission-shaft entry point. If this seal leaks, you can see the leak by opening up the machine's main access panel while the machine is full of water with a small amount of detergent in it. The leak appears at the underside of the outer tub, at or near the center. This seal is difficult to replace. You probably should call a qualified appliance repair technician. 


Pump - If the pump leaks, you can probably spot the leak when the tub is full of water. The pump has two or more black rubber or plastic hoses attached to it and usually has a drive belt that spins the pump. If the pump is leaking, you need to replace it. 


Outer tub - Over time, the steel or plastic outer tubs can rust, split, or be punctured. If this happens, you may have to replace the entire outer tub--but that may not be an economical repair to make. Consult a qualified appliance repair technician for further details.

belt them out with a cold chisel - this is a brutal job

check the pressure switch the unit wont spin unless it knows all the water is out of the unit

usually after removing screws at back give the top a good push back or forward
there is a couple of pegs that lock into a keyway holding the front top in place

When you re-install the bearings make sure you use a good red appliance grease it is for high temp high speed use. Use a good amount of it then install the bearings the same way you took them out.

sounds like your bearings have gone and thew reason it just keeps going and going is because the heater has blown so it will not move on because it is not heating so u will need new bearings and a heater and that is not a job 4 a novice call an enginer good luck

Could be your bearings for sure. And if you have been using the machine while the racket continued......you could be ruining you axle as well. So make sure your axle is fine before you change your bearings.......

Possible the tray is clogged; you can pull it out to clean it.

filter blocked or brawire or similiar in drain pump take off cover at bottom rear. take of hose going to bottom of tub. filter is in that hose you will have water everywhere. one way round that is to lay machine on side - left side down viewed from rear
