Hotpoint Ultima wt960 Washing mashine, now tripping electric. Have never been able to find and clean filter - ?is there one?

SOURCE: cant find filter on my hotpoint Ultima

get the filter out of hotpoint wml520

SOURCE: is there a filter on the wmt 03 hotpoint washing machine

We have the same machine which had the same problem, there is no filter only a colection pot at the bottom of the machine. Unfortunately even cleaning this did not solve ours, in the end I had to strip the machine down, split the drum down and then flush the brown crud which had accumulated behind the steel inner drum. Ta da problem solved!. Probably not what you'd want to do if you were not confident in attempting it but it saves buying a new machine.

you can only change the seal as this is a common fault with low tep washing Follow these steps to replace your door seal:

Disconnect all power to the machine first!!

1 Locate the outer clamp band securing the seal to the door rim on the washing machine and examine it carefully for holes or tears. Many can be prised off with a flat-bladed screwdriver they have a spring system holding them, but some have a tensioning arrangement that has to be loosened.
2 After removing the outer clamp band, locate the inner one securing the seal to the drum and establish how this is secured. It may be necessary to loosen a clip, or you may be able to prise the band off with a flat-bladed screwdriver. Some are like very large Jubilee clips that you have to undo usually from the top.
3 Once the clamp bands have been removed, use both hands to pull the seal away from the inner drum rim. Some machines have a water spout holes that will have to be lined up. Others have a drain holes.
4 Rubbing a drop of washing up liquid into the groove on the door seal/gasket that locates on the drum makes fitting the new seal easier.
5 the new washing machine door seal should be fitted by locating the drain holes at the bottom of the seal first then push it on with both hands working opposite directions towards the top. This is quite hard if you have never done it before.
6 refit the inner band remembering this must be tensioned correctly for it to be water tight.
7 now fit the outer band and the test the machine for any leaks,
