My hotpoint wf540 will not start a cycle it very quicly steps to wash light showing but nothing happens door locked light is not illuminated.Just prior to this fault the fuse in the mains plug had blown.I have tried unplugging overnight to no avail.

if the machine is old the front panel need to be service.Probably the front panel is experiencing partial contact with he control buttons.

check door inter lock

F10 Error Code : Pressure switch not sensing: check pressure switch & module connections

Could also be blocked pump filter

try a different store.

Had this same problem myself. To get mine to start i have to push the door to until it starts.

check pump/filter/outlet hose for blockages. if ok, check pressure switch (disc shaped item at top of machine with 4? wires and a tube) by blowing into it gently - should hear clicks, then blow into tube to pressure chamber - should be clear.

A mouldy smell is often a sign of trapped residual water stagnating somewhere in the machine often just inside the door seal at the low point or in the filter.

Providing there is nothing like a old sock trapped in the pump or filter then there is not much you can do other than to dry the door seal and powder dispenser after use.



Please remember to rate this solution.

sounds like water valve problem

Hi ya, just a quick suggestion, have you cleaned the filter on the front of your machine?? My machine did this and it was only when i cleaned the fluff and the 5 pence pieces from this filter it stopped, Hope it helps
