Hello! First of all, make sure you have a machine witch is not with welded tub, a lot of these machines are made with sealed tub, so in this case you have a problem.... Check if it's with removable front panel, remove kickplate plastic down and chek for screws that hold front panel. If there are no screws and front is welded, it means you will need to remove tub upwards, which is a PITA. You need to remove all hoses, wires from motor, heater, sensors, unscrew shock absorber, remove detergent drawer from top, door gasket. and when everything disconnected, lift up the tub. Ask for some help because it's heavy.

I would check the water pump for a blockage a button or other debris may be lodged in there preventing it for operating properly eric

try from the bottom

Sounds like timer is bad

Hi, The empty tank & clean filter light will come after EVERY use of the machine, because it is reminding you that this is what the user manual tells you that you're supposed to do EVERYTIME you use the machine. If the machine breaks down because it's full of fluff, it may invalidate your warranty & a water tank with just a little water, is a lot easier to empty than a full one.!

if there is water in the drum it wont open, so you need to drop the drain hose low to gravity drain....then the door should open. sometimes this fault is due to a broken door catch utube is quite good for fitting help.

Have a look at this and check if your pump is full of things lost from pockets: How to remove and clean your Hotpoint washing machine pump filter However, I suspect the problem is really that something is causing the controller to (falsely) register an unbalanced load, and continually running the wash to try and redistribute the items. Sorry I'm not sure what the fix is for that - could be motor tacho, or could be controller itself.

Clean the filter and pump

Please check for rodent nest. For some reason bugs and small rodents love to nest in areas of resistance..actuators..rexepticles..plug ins..sounds dangerous for the newborns right? Thing is its that old nest that is your problem now. It degrades and chunks jam here and there then stuff stops working. Adverse weather forces creatures to seek temperary shelter especially if a birthing event is looming. So don't try to stop it as nature always wins..but inspect your appliance as soon as you notice a change in performance before that nest costs you a days wages.

I would like to know if there's water coming into the machine on a normal wash then I can give you an answer to the problem eric

replace the water inlet valve under the top cover from the manufactures website quoting the model nr eric

Unplug for 30 minutes to reset the control board. If problem persists, it is likely that the control board will need to be replaced.

Check all thermostats , check to be sure you have 220 volts coming into the machine. Use ohm meter & check from heater element to the heater case or cabinet to see if the element is grounded. Positive to element & Negative to case should show no ohms if it does it is shorted. Also heater circuit runs through a centrifical switch on the motor so if the motor quits the heater shuts down so you don't have a fire. When the motor is not running the fan stops. You could check this switch but it don't happen very often. check this switch last. Hope this will help you

unplug the unit for 5 minutes then plug back in. let me know what happens.

maybe the concrete balancing weight has come loose and the fact that most of the water has been drained off when you turn it off for 10 seconds it does not have the one-sided affect anymore also check the damping springs as one may have come off in the violent spin eric
