Wf540hotpoint washing machine runs the programm for about 10 mins then stops. It then displays error code fo3. can you help

They usually stop with an unbalance load or If its a newer model and u use h.e detergent or suppose to be using it, and if u use it or another detergent to much , to heavy many newer washer have a suds sensor and when it detects to much detergent it will shut u down

More than likely is the Timing Board.It controls all the functions that are predetermined to make your washer do it's job.

Turn the dial to off.

Press and hold the start pause and nearest option button to it.

Whilst holding them, turn the dial one notch clockwise.

The machine will beep or flash, let go of the buttons.

Now turn the dial slowly through each position, stop and position 10 (9 clicks after letting go of the buttons) and note the error code displayed.

Continue turning the dial until you get to off.

Now turn to any programme, then, turn to off again.

Finally, turn to a programme and try the machine.

(It is very important that you turn to Off, a programme and then Off again).

Let me have the error code you retrieved if the appliance still doesn't work.

Good deal your machine is a Series 11.

“”Washer has stopped at 26 min with water in the drum. Will not spin or drain. Just sounds like it starts running then stops and repeats.””

I believe this is the start of a Spin Cycle of that Wash Cycle which Wash Cycle did you have selected?

Are there any error codes to the LED display like dC or uC?

If you stop that wash cycle with the wet load and do a Spin Only cycle will it complete with no error code?

Does the wash tub bang around in Spin Only cycle with the wet clothes load?

Standing by for some feedback and I will try to help.

Here is the Service Manual and parts look up. Can you let me know if you want to try to DIY the fix?

the h2o message means the machine isn't getting enough water. check pressure and water intake pipe.

Unplug the machine and spun the drum few times by hand, wait 10-15 min. and plug it back. Good luck!
