Hi, i stumbled across this forum whilst browsing google trying to find an answer to my problems and really hope somebody here could help me.
My washing machine, a Hotpoint WD420 1200 spin, is around 3 years old and when i try to do a wash, the machine appears to be running ok for the first minute but then after a couple of minutes the 'time saver' light flashes constantly at a very quick pace and the 'on/off' light flashes constantly at a slightly slower pace. The machine only partly fills with water (to bottom of the drum area) and the cycle doesnt start. Then after a few minutes the door unlocks itself and nothing has been done.
Although the machine is 3 years old it has not been used much in that time, maybe only once a month or so as i am a single guy and normally take my washing to my parents house, so im not so sure why it is playing up after such minimal use. what i did notice though is that the last few times i have used it, the tray were i put the fabric conditioner has been filling up with water in the actual dept were the conditioner goes, i am not sure if this is relevant but im just trying to provide as much info as possible !!
I would be really gratefull if anybody out there has any ideas on how i can fix this as i dont really want to pay £100 for a hotpoint engineer to call out
many thanks for reading
