Hot point WD440 wash/dry :How to put tumble spin off.

When using the WD-1000 as a Dryer only, are you turning the rightmost knob Clockwise to the correct starting point?
Looking at the periphery of the knob, at the bottom, see the elongated "sausage" shape, outlined in blue? Turn the knob so it passes "Stop", and points there.
At the end of a completed Wash Cycle, that is where the pointer will be pointing. Once there, the machine switches automatically to Dryer Mode.
As long as the middle dial is set to a timer length greater than zero, the drying begins. I recommend turning the middle dial to somewhere around 2:00 o'clock, which corresponds to about 90 minutes if I remember correctly.
(You'll notice that is in the "Orange" area, meaning Full Heat - which is always fine because it never gets too hot anyway)

So, turn right dial to point to the "white sausage" at the bottom of the dial; Turn middle dial to 90 mins, or so; (Left dial only controls "Spin" speed - just set to max); and close the door. (It should begin drying)

Good Afternoon Leonard, thank you for your inquiry! If the washer was recently installed or moved to a different location, confirm that the hoses are connected correctly. Otherwise, the unit may be experiencing a communication issue with the control not responding accordingly or have a faulty water valve. At this point, I would recommend having a service technician to diagnose the problem before investing in unnecessary parts. Experienced techs also usually warranty their labor just in case something else is the root cause of your initial problem.

U need to check the heater element and/or the stats on the top of the heater box located on the top of the drum for continuity, with a meter.
Disconnect from the supply, and remove wires from components to check for continuity.
Hope this helps u.
Plz rate this solution.
Thanks.

the steam gets condensed back to water and pumped away so sometimes draining problems cause poor drying. is the machine plumbed in according to handbook?
also your dryer filter may be blocked but this is not accesable without the dryer box being stripped down.

the drive belt is likely broken
belt replacements for most models are simple and cheap
have no experience of bendix cannot give exact instructions

make sure your exhaust line is clear and not kinked

sounds like the carbon brushes in motor,Or motor has had it.

no it does not

yes, the dryer is pants im afraid. weve had ours going on 4 years & it has broke down every 6-10months - seriously! the dryer will leave clothes hot & steamy but when hung up for 1/4hr they r dry! _ Hotpoint advised us that he machine is esigned his way - but dont believe a word from their corporate b***hit mouths!

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.
