My hotpoint aqaurius WMAL 661 fills with water then turns for ten seconds then fills with water again continuously and wont heat the water or go onto rinses. This goes on for as long as I'll leave it.

The washing machine has been stood in the garage for 4 weeks without use, and this error started. Before being put in the garage it worked fine.

SOURCE: Washing machine problem

my w830 is doing exactly the same thing.

I am usually pretty good at fixing these sort of things so if/when I solve it I will post back here.

I think it is a motor fault - most likely the motor brushes are worn out.

SOURCE: Rinse cycle won't stop

Hi,

Start rinsing again, when the water comes out, take off the water tank and let the machine go to it stop.

SOURCE: Intuitive eco Iw811 Rinse 1 no water coming thru!

the 1st rinse light is normally set to "spray rinse", this means the machine will pump out the water, spin at medium speed then pulse cold water into the machine, this occurs for about 2 mins, then the machine will spin out, and advance for the final rinse which is a deep rinse.

SOURCE: Whirlpool Washer - Imperial Series Quiet Wash 2

your washers drain hose is too far down the drain pipe which is causing a siphoning action pull the washers drain hose out pipe some you should be able to hear water dropping into the pipe the reason it only happens in the rinse cycle is because the water from wash is being drained and before the water vacuum is broken the rinse water comes in causing it to keep draining

SOURCE: water not leaving machine

It won't drain If your washer won't drain, check these: It spins, but doesn't pump It doesn't spin or pump It pumps, but the water returns It spins, but doesn't pump If your washer spins but doesn't pump the water out, the drain line is probably clogged. In many washers, a small sock or other piece of clothing can get between the clothes tub and the outer tub that holds the water. If the clothing gets between the tubs, it may then get into the drain hose that's attached to the pump--or even into the pump itself. If it's in the pump, you need to remove the hoses from the pump and pull the item out. To remove the sock from the outer tub port, open the washer's main access panel and remove the large-diameter rubber hose that connects the pump to the bottom of the outer tub. Then, using needle-nose pliers, try to grab and remove the clothing through the port. Sometimes you can't remove the stuck clothing from below. Then you have to remove the agitator, top of the outer drum shield, and inner clothes tub. This isn't easy to do--and you may need special tools--so you might be happier getting a qualified appliance repair technician to do the job. If the drain line isn't plugged, the problem may be with your pump. Even if the pump appears to be turning, the internal impeller may be broken. If so, you need to replace the pump. It doesn't spin or pump If your washer doesn't spin or pump water out but the motor is running, your washer probably has a frozen pump pulley. If so, you need to replace the pump. To check the pulley, remove the pump from the washer and try to rotate the pulley manually. If it doesn't turn freely--if it's frozen or stiff--replace it. It pumps, but the water returns If the water that pumps out of the machine goes back into the machine after the spin cycle, your washer may be siphoning the water from a laundry tub that has a slow drain, back into the washer. The usual remedy for this is to improve the draining of the laundry tub. (Is something stuck in the drain?) Also, check for these problems: If the drain hose reaches more than about 4 inches into the laundry tub, cut off the excess. If your drain hose is lower than the washer's cabinet, install an air gap/siphon break assembly.

Lights flashing on front of washing machine. Hotpoint WMAL 661

Un-plug your Machine. Wait for 5 minutes and plug it back in. If they return to normal, there was a glitch with the computer, if it does come back, there is a problem with your Circuit Board and it needs to be repaired... This is a common problem my friend who repairs these tells me

Can hotpoint aqaurius 900 WM61 operate from cold water supply only

Hi.
Yes it can.
You to purchase an adaptor called a "Y "piece for the washer..
B&Q sell them, they are easy enough to get hold of.
Fasten the straight end of the adaptor on to the cold inlet valve..
Then fasten the 2 inlet hoses to the other 2 connections, and the 2 hoses as normal to the washer,,
Then whatever prog you select, it will draw \in cold water.
All new washers are now cold fill only, so you will be right up to date..
This will solve your problem.
