I have a hotpoint aquarius 1200 wm34, and the dial is not aligned to the correct program. When i put it on a 40 wash, it only lasts about 10 minutes with no spin. When i put the dial on a 60 wash, it does a full, 45 odd minute wash with a nice spin at the end. So i'm assuming that the dial needs to be fudged back a bit. Further indication of this is that when the "60" wash finishes, the dial displays it is half way through a rinse cycle, when actually the washing machine is finished. Working out the difference between the end point of the wash and the point that the dial ends on, I reckon the dial needs to be turned back about 35 degrees (or at least 8 clicks)
Although i can pull the program dial off, it will only fit on one way. This means i can't take it off, turn the dial and place it back on aligned - theres like these little grooves that will only allow the dial to secure in one direction, and as explained above, the resting state of the dial at the end of a wash is displayed as half way through a rinse cycle.
So is there any other way to turn the program back from inside the machine? I can post pictures if it will help anyone help me more. Thanks
