I have a Hotpint Aquarius Washer/Dryer model number WDL520 that seems to have sprang a leak. First it was water only trickling from under the botton left hand side at the front. Now it gushes. Any ideas what it could be or how expensive to fix. Have check the hoses at the back, def not leaking there. Door seal and drawer dispenser are fine too. Any help appreciated

You could have a broken pipe on the filler or the seal has gone on the drum you would need to have a look, either way they are easy to fix or replace. drain pipe can leak if the pipe has come off the pump also check this but you will need to remove the case to get to look, always unplug the washer before touching any screws, remove case and look at the pipes and make sure they are seated in the right place.

SOURCE: Hotpoint Ultima WT965 - Water gushing out from door and soap drawer

you have a blocked filter, unplug from mains, take off back panel you will see a black sump hose coming from the tub to the pump, tilt the machine forward and put a dish or bowl under sump unscrew clamp and pull off slowly to release any water in the drum. You will find a blockage, also what appears to be a ping pong ball dont throw away it is meant to be there.

SOURCE: water gush in power drawer

When water comes out of the powder drawer on spin I think you will finf that the filter is blocked. This sits in the rubber pipe between the drum and the pump. I had the same problem and a half hour with the back off fixed it. A colour catcher was blocking the filter.

SOURCE: how do i fit a drive belt on a hotpoint tumble drier

Hi, To fit the belt to your dryer you will need to remove the top of the appliance by removing the screws at the rear. Pull of the timer/control knob. Look inside the top of the t/dryer behind the control panel you will see little plastic stems which are attached to the facia panel. You need to knock these out to remove the facia. Once this is off then you can remove the the top 3 screws and the bottom 3 screws the front panel will now come off for you to place the belt on the drum and over the motor spindle. Becareful as the t/dryer will be very loose and will twist. it is easier to lay the appilance down on its back to stop everything falling about. Now you can put it back together in the reverse order....
Good luck.............

SOURCE: change drum bearing on hotpint aquarius wf540 .

This is usually a very hard thing to do,, due to the fact that you have to separate the plastic drum housing to reveal the metal drum, and than you need to free it from the back portion of the plastic drum housing

Hotpoint aquarius WDL520 all lights flashing not spinning water still in bowl cant find instructions only bought it at xmas

There should be a small door at the front bottom of the machine, open it and unscrew the plunger. try that first as there could be a blockage.

The machine will not spin until the water is drained out.

Hotpoint Aquarius Model WD61 Washer Dryer working but it's noisey

If you've just installed it for the first time ensure that transporting locks been removed (big screws under usualy yellow or white plastic covers at the back side of the machine)
Make sure that machine is standing flat on the floor with no swinging whe you try to move it, this can be achieved by adjusting four legs of the machine (one at each corner).
If neither of those helps than you need to identify when the noise appears what machine is doing at that moment. If the noise appears when it's draining, pumping water out, than your machine's pump is wearing out, or if it's noisy when spining (final spin) than bearing of the drum is wearing out.

Update me about your progress

Good Luck

Hotpoint washing machine Aquarius WD640

Try this sequence; Hold down start and cancel button together, TEST should disappear of display,
Then hold down START/ CANCEL, and ON/OFF at the same time.
The message D/off should appear in the display, it should then work.
If it does not then the main pcb is likely to be faulty..
That will mean calling an engineer.
Pleas rate my fixya solution.
Thankyou.
