Very well could be, but I would check the heating element. Unless you have tools and skill to check you will need to call for service. Given the situation in UK you may be better served using main oven if possible.

I thought it was probably a 'brushless motor', but they sell them for that model. They are funky, this is what they look like. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HOTPOINT-WMAL641-washing-machine-motor-carbon-brushes-Connection-terminal-6-4m-/233628113721 VIDEOS on changing them https://www.google.com/search?safe=off&rlz=1C1QJDB_enCA643CA644&sxsrf=ALeKk00kSRxldnKJ82uHf7utud8M6EGvMg%3A1612566982903&ei=xtEdYIjYNsfj_Aayo77ABw&q=hotpoint+aquarius+wmal641+replace+brushes ..

The rear legs may not be adjustable - only the front.

You need a pulling tool and a press to put it back on. I would percivere with a blade and patience.

TRY UNPLUGGING IT THEN IF IT DOES NOT WORK CALL A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP

Important: Switch the power off from the wall socket and unplug your washing machine first! Remove the bottom panel - you will fint the filter here. Please place a towel in front of the filter to absorb any water.Thanks Carolyn, it looks you have a very old model - the bad news is the filter is under the drum. It would be hard to explain here and I don't have this model in the repair shop to send you a photo, but I have found a good video that will show you where the filter is placed, please have a lookhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyXvsbDMkrsHope this helps.?Best,?Dave

try just putting it in the bottom of the machine where the water goes

There are usually more than one element in an oven with a grill.

The thermostat probably needs to be replaced rather than reset.

At 5 months old it should be still under warranty and qualify for free repair...

If turning down the thermostat doesn't reduce the cooling (makes it warmer), the thermostat is probably faulty causing the motor to run too much. I have a RLA 80. Some time ago my fridge wasn't getting cold enough so I ordered a replacement thermostat and almost as an afterthought I gave the temperature adjusting knob an experimental tap with a screwdriver handle (known to often temporarily restore operation to any device that switches mains current). The fridge began working for a while and needed another tap... I must have given it the treatment half a dozen times and it suddenly began working normally. I have yet to replace the thermostat and the replacement is ready for when the time comes, as it has been ready for about 3 years.

possible transformer shorted thats whats popping breaker

Could be a defective cycle timer

Most likely you have a oven ignitor issue

The drip tray should be firmly fixed to the top of the compressor unit - that gets quite warm during each cooling cycle. At the end of each cooling cycle the warming panel is switched on for a short time to melt the frost so the water drips into the tray shortly after the most heat is available to evaporate it and shortly after that the tray should be dry. How can such a simple system fail? Perhaps the tray is loose, perhaps the fridge is sited in a draught or perhaps there is a moist atmosphere in the fridge creating more frost and therefore too much water.

There should be a pilot adjustment on the burner.

Check the freezer: If your fridge does not have an auto-defrost function then excessive ice-build up in the freezer can cause the beeping alarm. If you see a lot of ice build-up in the icebox or freezer, switch off the fridge and let the ice thaw. Once the fridge is thawed, the beeping should stop. https://www.appliance-insurance.co.uk/appliance-insurance-articles/6-causes-beeping-fridge/
