My hotpoint aquarius+ super silent wf640 is over filling with water and coming out the drawer and door and flooding the kitchen floor then a h20 symbol is appearing on the display and the machine is cutting out please help
These machines have a common fault. If yours has no visible filter, the filter is in the rubber waste tube, just below the drum.
Most faults on these machines are due to a blockage or build up of sludge and lime scale in this area.
This also affects the pressure switch, which is linked by a plastic
tube to the same place! This will cause the machine to stick, and not
spin, otr to spin with water in the drum causing vibration.
Firstly check the outlet hose and the plumbing where the outlet goes to
for signs of sludge and lime. Unless you have very soft water or a
water softener, there will be some! Usually lots!
Clean this out.
Disconnect the machine from the mains and the water supply and pull it into a clear area.
Put a thick cloth on the floor and gently lay the machine on its left hand side, looking from the rear,
Undo the small panel on the back and you will see the black rubber
concertina hose, pressure chamber and pump, which are now all easily
accessible from the rear and the botom of the machine.
Undo the circlips with a screwdriver and the special plastic clips with
a pair of pliers by twisting each part in the opposite direction.
Take the whole hose off. You find a filter and a "ping pong ball" inside this.
Clean it all out as thoroughly as you can. At the same time clean out
the plastic pressure chamber and the pump. you might need to use a
proprietary limescale remover or vinegar to do this.
You will usually find a few buttons, plastic items, paper, couins and a load of sludge!
Put the whole lot back, The plastic clips slide together with a toothed grip.
The whole job should take about half an hour and the machine will be like new.
I have a hotpoint wma50...its not draining the water out after spinning...iv had the pump off today and cleaned it all.... now i cant find the filter..to clean it !! the water is coming out the draw when it spins.. so im guessing there must be a block some where !!
Is the appliance overfilling as soon as its switched on IE when its 1st filled it dont stop?, if so it sounds as tho the pressure switch is either not working or the pressure pot is blocked
