Hotpoint Aquarius WD440 Error

Hotpoint Aquarius WD440 washer/dryer machine has recently starting stopping mid-cycle with the Rinse Hold light flashing along with the On/Off light flashing. This is just before it takes in the conditioner and leaves the clothes wet as well so no spin. Any ideas what the problem is?

    why does the on/off, drying high heat, reduce creases, time saver lights continually flash when I attempt to any wash programme. It sounds like the machine is filling up with water for about 2 mins then eventually stops and nothing happens.

    Yes I have exactly the sam problem, any Ideas of how I can resolve it.

Remove the white plastic cover on the back near the bottom. To the right as you look at it their will be a black concertina pipe with a hose clip on its top edge. Undo this and pull the pipe downwards to reveal the filter. There will be a plastic ball inside (which is supposed to be there) remove this and clear out the cr*p.

Re-assemble as removal.

That should fix it

Some machines have a visible filter at the front, low down, if one cannot be seen then it is inside the machine under the drum, you have to lean the machine back (unplug it first!) and unscrew a clip on the rubber hose to release the plastic filter, you may find some coins in there, good luck!

SOURCE: my hotpoint aquarius wd440 has flashing lights

First of all try cleaning the filter inside the back as described by others if this does not work there is a filter in the top. how you clean this is quite easy. all you do is remove the top of the machine by undoing the 2 screws at the back then pull top top backwards when you have removed the top you well see a large metal casing on the left if you are looking from the the back of the machine the filter is in there to remove the casing you pull the small pipe off then undo 5 star headed screws then gently pull the casing off noteing that there is a large pipe at the front when you have remover the casing you will see the filter (the small pipe you removed at the start fits on this filter) clean the filter then put it all back together.

Hotpoint washer dryer lights flashing

Check first the thermal fuse.

Test heating element to ensure is not grounded, and staying always on. Test the fan and ventilation system.

If you find no fault in there , then test the timer control board.

Enter the model number on one of two websites below to get parts and diagrams for your appliance:

Hotpoint wd440 flashing dryer heat button and onoff button !

I had to have a tech come out for the same problem two weeks ago. They had to clean the lint collector which you cannot get to on your own. He said now that this has been done everytime I use the machine, take the clothes out and then run a rinse spin cycle.

Hotpoint Aquarius WD440, Rinse Hold, Time Saver and On/Off light flashing

This is typical of a control board problem.
About 60% of the time they can be repaired, but it's easier to replace it than keep testing.

If you are competent at electrical repairs, then read -on, otherwise order a replacement, and have it fitted.

Isolate supply.
Remove top cover by removing screws at top rear, slide cover rearwards.
Control board is on right at the front.
Test connections - remove and replace all connections, checking for signs of arcing.
Check main wiring loom to motor for integrity and damage.
If no signs of damage, remove control unit board, and examine for arcing or poor contacts, overheated components or damage.

If everything still looks ok, a replacement control board should be fitted and the machine tested.

Hope this helps.

Aquarius Hotpoint WD440. 1400 Spin

The next step should be the pump out. If it is not pumping check your pump filter for obstructions. Check the drain hose and also your drain in the wall. If all are clear you may have a bad pump. You should have an error code coming up when the machine stops also, please let me know what it is. Thanks and I hope I can FixYa.
