Is the outlet water pipe bent at all, in a way that would prevent the water from exiting? If not then I would confidently say that the pump has failed, if the machine has warrentee I would call hotpoint for an engineer visit... I hope this helps.....

Hi I hope the picture below helps, I can help you further with this as I have found that mine was a 5p blocking my pump fan at the bottom behind the lower front cover, I can talk you through how to do that, but it does involve unplugging the washer firstly, then using a sponge & bucket to remove as much water from the drum as possible & then tipping back machine & propping it up under with a strong solid object that can hold its weight for a while, but then slide a good solid tray under to catch the excess water & an old towel or rags near by for any splashes, then by undoing the front lower flap with a butter knife there are lugs about an inch in from each end, gently pop them down carefully & remove white cover, then by twisting the grey circle cap that is at the front of the pump fan, this can be hard to turn, but follow the arrows, I have had to turn mine using pliers before, turn this slowly because water will come out & it will be fast if you turn it to quickly soaking the floor, once removed look & see what is obstructing the pump fan blades, maybe a hair clip or a coin or limescale & hair etc, give it a good sweep around & rotate the fan blades & inspect closely with a torch to see any minor scratches or damage the fan, this may indicate the item is blocking something or if it's gone the other side of the fan or not, once this has been cleared & rotates & the filter if there is one has been cleaned & replaced back then reassemble it all together & then resit the machine, please leave & allow it to settle for a few mins to be sure that there is no leaks from the area you opened (sometimes a few drops as the water tipped backed wards will rush forwards & then it will be resealed, after a 5-10 min wait plug the washer back in, set it to the pump out & spin programme & this should clear the problem, it did with mine last summer... I hope this solves the problem..
I did add a picture from their website depicting what the error code is trying to indicate to you, but you probably have already looked for this already, Hope this helps....

tale plastic back panel of at rear of machine and loosen black sump hose filter within

go to the parts website for Hotpoint for price or Google the part number and someone will post it for sale. Try going to You-Tube for instruction video on replacing. If it is still under warranty, call mfg or warranty company.

the best thing you can do is remove the power lead the take the top panel off and push the drum to the rear and using a small screwdriver remove the lock and replace it from the manufactures website (you can switch off the machine at anytime and restart it by turning it back on and pressing start again depending on the type of machine of course) eric

Could be either,

read the operator's manual... it will tell you what to do.

Hotpoint makes a massive range of washing machines and i noticed you didn't include a model number, but nevertheless Google says it's a blocked pump/filter.... i guess you tried Google too?

hi there. go to this link should help you out. Hotpoint WMA13 Front Load Washer will not start the washing cycle every...

Hotpoint 720 incorporates a fill pressure switch, it monitors the fill level and passes instructions that sufficient water level has been reached, and instructs the programmer to continue to the next stage of the cycle. Accepting, that enough water has entered the drum, the level switch could be faulty, however it is most likely to be the programmer. To test any of the fault finding to cure this fault requires removing panels and I would not recommend you doing this unless you are qualified. If you are however qualified and satisfied that you can proceed safely, with concerns for your own safety, I will send you, a process on how to proceed, checking out weather it is the pressure switch or the programmer. Trust you find this answer helpful Adam

It sounds as though your motor bearings are going out.

Press the knob so it'll pop out.

sounds like normal operation for a newer model washer. They don't agitate nonstop like the older models do. Do the lights go through the entire cycle?

The plastic ball is fine. Either it's filter that need remove to clean and replace or the pump.
