If youhave a booklet which comes with the machine it should tell you in there .Alternatively contact Hotpoint customer service. they will advise.

its likely that stored it as a default programme

You need to replace the heater element located at the bottom rear of drum. Remove lower rear panel to gain access to it.

can you expand a little, why are you asking this? do you mean the little strainers on the water coming into the machine (if you take off the inlet hoses you can see the metal mesh) Does your machine spray water into the drum during rinsing? If so, then there will be a pump to do this, and there will be a filter on the inlet to it. Should be near the base of the machine, hopefully there is a little plastic door which you can take off (may be behind the kick strip at the bottom of the front of the machine) and clean it out of all the hair clips and gunk. otherwise - can't think what filter you mean?

The whole of the tub and drum assembly has to be removed and split down. If you have never done this before, I don't fancy your chances of success. Sorry to be negative

motor triac short circuit check motor and module connections, if o.k poss motor fault

Have a Kenmore front loader that did same. Plastic linkage broke. Young service tech his tech support was unfamiliar with diagnosing the problem and then once understood advised that the unit could be damaged. With creative approach (from memory, removed part of the panel to access the latch to open door).

check the valve on the back of the machine where the hoses connect. there should be a screen in the opening if it is clogged - remove it and try again.

This requires a new display pcb

f04 pressure switch not reading, likely cause is a blocked drainage filter, on the newer type bottom right hand corner behind the removable kickplate on the older type on the bottom on the drum inside the black rubber sump hose, remove the jubilee clip securing the hose to the tub to access and clean the filter

Bearings faulty or another fault this model suffers from is the concrete balance weight retaining bolts shake loose, if it is the bolts tighten up as soo as possible. Regards Advisor

have you checked for mud wasps nests or other that may be throwing the drum off balance

Try to put some hot water and drain it(not too hot)

If there is water left in machine door stays locked but if you remove the plug after about 3 mins the door may open be careful if there is water in it when you open the door

not much to go on, What went bang? something in the machine or just the fuse? were you trying to dry? then that would be the heater coil. The fan blows air over a heater coil. You can see teh connections if you take the top off the machine, check the resistance to see if its gone. The cause is a blocked air filter upstream (its cleaned with water so you dont have to get the fluff off). Can you select a program at all?

if my memory serves me right f08 is faulty heater code check the heater is okay

Hi
f01 means motor fault. remove motor and check the brushes. if ok then fault could either be motor or pcb which is faulty.
