Probablyu a blocked filter or pump.
Remove lower rear panel of washer.
Remove large black hose fastened to bottom of drum.
Remoive and clean filter inside hose
Check pump for blockage as well, and the drain outlet hose..

First, if there is still water in the drum lower the outlet hose into a bowl and if no water comes out then you have a blockage but if water flows out then the pump is at fault. To clear a blocked filter on a WMA machine which still has water in it, first tilt the machine backwards and open the door, bail out the contents of the drum with a mug or sponge untill it is as empty as you can get it. Now lower the machine back down again and remove the lower inspection panel at the back of the cabinet now tilt the machine forward.....place a tin of soup or something under it to hold it in a tilted possition, then put a bowl or deep oven dish under the sump to catch any remaining water when it is removed. Undo the retaining clip around the sump hose and disengage it from the container, the filter is inside the hose and can be taken out to be cleaned.Click the links for Workshop manuals on Hotpoint WMA and WM machines

the sump under the machine needs to be cleaned out, most causes of this is the use of color catcher sheets getting caught in the sump.

It's a push fit seal. Carefully remove the old one and for help, smear the new seal where it fits the machine and just push it into place securely.

This is for the WD420, but could be useful for you.

The filter is inside the machine. If you machine is still under guarantee I would try and get it done that way. Otherwise turn off the power and pull out the machine to get a the back.
Remove the panel at the bottom where the discharge hose comes out. You should see a black concertina type tube coming from the drum attached by a jubillee clip. The filter is inside. Losen the clip and pull away the tube take out the filter and clean it. When you replace it don't forget to put the ball float back in and check its well fixed by running a spin cycle before sealing up.
