Hot point wmlt80, dail clicking and turning, cycle wont start,

Hi
the problem is the shaft on the control knob
is cracked so the knob turns but won't grip
the shaft on the control panel
requires an new knob

Mine did that cuz I didn't have the hot water hooked up and it came out there... It didn't do it at first, just randomly started to do it so I put a soda bottle cap on it.....

More likely than not it is your control regulator gone out. This is where your rotary knob is.

motor is bad...hope this helps

the washer is trying to reset its self. pull the washer out put the waste pipe to floor level to empty the water <not no your floor > plumb it back in then turn it on and it will sort its self out

Try turning the dial back to off, and then try it again.
Make sure the door is shut properly.
Don't interrupt a prog once it has started., if you do , it will start to do funny things.

try plugging it back in and hit cancel

yes thats your problem,the reason it wont unscrew is because of things caught inside ie coins gunk you will have to take out machine turn on side,there are two sometime four screws at front of machine where black dail is remove these,when machine is on its side you can acess pump from underneath,there is a black rubber hose which goes from drum to pump which is held on with a circlip remove this at pump end you will need a vicegrip,remove all gunk coins ect, refit all back to machine ,,problem solved......the reason dail was turning was because it was looking for progam to release water which it couldnt because of blockage,after tou unblock you will find that black srew on cover on front can be removed(always better to check for blockages every few weeks hopes this helps

timer or timer module fault

check if heating by putting on as hot wash and feeling the door. if no heat, check continuity thro the heater - modern heaters have a non-resettable cut-out in them which can cause problems. no heat then no program advance
