Hotpoint aquarius dwf33 does not always work?!!

You may have a broken dryer drum belt, pull the back off the dryer and look inside to see if that is the case.

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

bearing

It could be a broken drum restraint spring, or a worn or broken. or loose shock absorber.
To check the springs, remove the top cover, and you will see the springs.
Another possibility is the concrete weight could be broken or loose.
You need to remove the lower rear panel of washer to check the shockers and concrete weight.
Please rate my solution.
Thankyou.

i removed the drain cover in the bottom of the dish area ( near the salt fill cap )and cleaned it out. poured boiling water in and closed the machine and ran it with the hottest setting, empty.
this seams to have cured it

hi take the top of the machine and check the brick at top or bottom of the machine they sometimes come lose .

Most likely the Door interlock is faulty or has fallen apart (through the banging of the door)

Try to remove drum belt, and then turn drum by hand, if it does not turn , then you have either siezed drum bearigs, or some thing jammed between the inner and outer drum
If drum turns freely, then check motor to see if it is free to turn.

This sounds like a classic case of main drum bearing or drum support failure, it is a major repair and not really a DIY repair, unless you are coversant with w/m's
It involves a complete strip down and in some cases it is neccessery to to have to replace the drum as well.
The cost of the parts involved is well in excess of £100.00,and it really is not an economical repair.
I think you would be better off buying a new washer.
Plz rate my solution.
Thanks.

Several possible reasons for this. M/C not level, causing it to move about.
Overloading of m/c.
Loose concrete balance weight, there is one at top and one at bottom.
Suspension spring broken or unhooked.
Suspension leg loose or broken.
Main drum bearings worn, to check this, turn drum by hand and if it feels noisy or rough , then bearings have gone (expensive repair).
There are other possible causes, but these are the main reasons.
Plz rate my solution.
Thanks.
