Hotpoint Recent Questions, Troubleshooting Help & Support

If your Hotpoint washing machine is not starting after you replaced the electric door switch, there could be a few different issues causing the problem. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check the power supply and make sure that the washing machine is properly plugged in and receiving power.
2. Check the fuse or circuit breaker to make sure that the washing machine is not tripping any electrical circuits.
3. Make sure that the door switch is properly installed and fully seated in the door latch assembly. If the door switch is not properly installed, the machine may not start.
4. Check the wiring and make sure that there are no loose or damaged connections.

That sounds like dry bearings somewhere or may be a slipping belt from a dry bearing. You need an engineer unless you can manage a full investigative strip down.

check votage when numbers disapear if no voltage bad transformer if voltage check ignitor

bad heating element

Each time you push delay, it should add 2 more hours. If not, it will only delay for 2hours.

The error F08 indicates that the heater relay is stuck. This could be a fault with either the pressure switch, heater or the module connections.
Think you need to book a service call from engineer.

There are no internal fuses on washing machines. If the fuse is 'in the plug', it sounds like you are in the UK. In the US and Canada, our fuse is the contact breaker in the master switch board. Did you replace it with a 13 amp fuse? Did you check the fuse with a multimeter or in another device known to work?

make sure your timer is not on auto if it is set to manual.

Unplug the unit and take out all the drawers and remove the back (behind the drawers) panel carefully. (This back panel has foamy thermal insulation behind it and this will be probably be enmeshed with ice - you may have to wait awhile for this ice to melt before you can remove the panel, even after you have unscrewed it.When you have got the back panel off, you will see a large solid block of ice, probably halfway up the cooling coils, right down to the bottom of the exposed space. You have to melt all this ice (I used a hair dryer to blow warm air onto the ice (have towels and a bucket ready to mop up the melted water, otherwise it will run over the floor. When you have melted all this ice, you will see a drain hole at the bottom of the exposed space. This will have ice in it and it must be cleared. Then replace the back panel and all should be OK. The panel bulges because ice/water is accumulating behind the panel, water, when it freezes, expands, forcing the panel forwards.I reckon it's a Hotpoint Design fault. What is supposed to happen is that during the heating cycle, melted ice drops down from the cooling coils and down the drain hole onto a plate over the compressor unit, where it evaporates. BUT, during the cooling cycle, a fan circulates cold air from the cooling coils, through the entire unit, which includes the chamber behind the panel that is below the coils. Thus this chamber gets cold (-18 deg.C) so that water dripping down during the heating cycle is frozen before it has a chance to fall down the drain hole.I now defrost in this manner every six months or so. Sadly, very sadly, Hotpoint, like other white goods manufacturers (Baxi Potterton boilers for instance) do not reply to my enquiries.Hope this helps.

Ideas here but you probably need service. Check the outlet with another item known to work. https://www.google.com/search?q=Hotpoint+WD640+model+will+not+turn+on ..

I've an EW 71 with exactly the same problem! Thought it was the element but then noticed that there were two elements to the top oven - so very unlikely that both would go at once.<br />Tested to see if the switch was the guilty party by turning it on using the upper oven switch and indeed both elements heated!<br />If yours is doing the same then it's the switch....<br />... So how does one replace the switch?<br /> <!-- from fixya rte -->

Fridge along bottom shelves is much colder than the very top shelf which has milk etc., leading to spoilage. Fridge is at highest setting. In the upper left rear of the fridge compartment, is a cover for what I believe to be a circulatory fan. However, trying to remove this cover is difficult.
It seems that the clip nuts to which the two (2) small capscrews fasten are free wheeling and not allowing me easy access to the motor.

Please advise.

My model no. is HSS221FMD WW

Question edited for clarity. Question moved from Cars and Trucks to model category. Wiring schematics are normally hidden on the rear of the stove on the inside of the rear panel. The don't appear to be available anywhere. https://www.google.com/search?q=Hotpoint+oven+rb787bh1bb+Wiring+diagram ..

Could you be a bit more specific as to what this "Almighty noise" is? It will help to work out where the issue actually is. Is it a thumping noise? A rattling noise? a grinding noise? A humming noise? Can you post images of the sheared off piece of metal?

Hi, Please check the associated fuse in the fuse box of your home. We want to ensure that it's not been turned off or blown out (and needing replacement). Then, you can check the power source located at the washing machine itself to ensure that it still has juice by power items other than the washing machine. Thank you.

one element could be broken , dryer takes two for high and only one for lower temps

Question edited to add Maker. Question moved to Hotpoint. Most dryers have 2 elements, one for low, and one for medium. High heat is both elements together. My guess is that your medium element has failed and you are only getting low heat. Test with a multimeter or call for service. https://www.google.com/search?q=Hotpoint+Ctd+80+P+tumble+dryer+parts ..
