My Hotpoint Ultima WMD 960 displays "F04" on the display panel before the programme ends. Have cleaned the filter and it worked OK in spin mode and finished normally but now have put in a washing load, it foamed up a lot and the F4 display is back again. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks

"F04" on the display panel before the programme ends. Have you cleaned the filter out on the pump

F7 generally mean heater relay is stuckcheck the linkhttp://www.hotpointservice.co.uk/hs/pages/content.do?keys=FAQ:ERROR_CODES

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

If you have checked that the hot and cold water taps are turned on fully and the hoses are not kinked or squashed at the back, it is worth while checking both the hot and cold water inlet filters. Turn the taps off and remove both hoses at the washer end. Inside each inlet port there is normally a little filter which should just slide out. Clean if necessary and replace each one and the hoses. If after turning the taps back on there is no improvement, the problem is symptomatic of a malfunctioning hot or cold water control valve. Sorry but it needs a service call and a check that it isn't the control PCB ;-0(

If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck,

if water starts but drum dont move.............

I think you have a failed control panel circuit.

F04 means pressure/water level switch jammed on empty
Check pump and filter located at rear of washer behind removable panel.
Please rate my solution.
Thanks.

it should be at the back of the machine were the pipe for dirty water comes out there is a panel you can take off at the bottom of the machine when it is off you should see the moter and the pump were the pump is you and take off the black sump asmbaly and the filter should be there. hope this helps.

f04 is a pressure switc problem.
take the lid off and check the clear plastic hose is attached to the bottom of the pressure switch, a round part with wiresand the other end to the sumps breather tube.if it is and there are no holes or splits in the tube it may need replacing.

Good luck. All modern washers that I know dont have the filter you need. If a clean out is needed you will have to clean out the pump.

Your test mode is on, maybe accidently. Press "start", "cancel", "on" & "off" together for 10 secs, you will see d/off come on the display. Do the same & the test mode comes on again.
