if your door lock is o.k. then the original may have blown the timer. loosen the timer and look for blown tracks on the p.c.b. towards the front of the board. if you resolder new tracks with a piece of wire it will fix the fault in 19 of 20 cases. if you want to check beyond the door lock then...

don't buy a frost free they are a pain in the a***.

all you have to do is reuse your existing hoses but before disconnecting from your old machine put a couple of kinks i the hose and hold tight while you unscrew them. do this for the hot pipe but the cold could be shut off at the rising main (stop cock)

when it's full of water and clothes does the drum actually rotate? if not your machine may have an induction motor which requires a good capacitor to give it a kick start. sometimes a faulty capacitor will prevent rotation when fully loaded but will allow rotation on final spin because the water...

difficult to give advice on a canadian machine however sometimes a washer can empty itself by a syphoning action down the waste pipe. if you have a u-bend in your waste outlet, you must ensure that the end of your drain-out hose is not pushed too far down your drain so as to be in the u-bend...

you must read your manual. i do think that on most dishwashers you have to fill the salt reservoir with water before use. even so i don't think that failing to do this would cause your problem.

you can reset your existing thermostat cut out. it will be the one with either a red or green spot on it. unplug your machine and remove the back cover. the stats are on top of the heater box. now VERY VERY carefully get a slow running drill with a 1mm bit in it and drill dead centre in the stat...

yes either something has got stuck from out of the wash load or less likely the heater element may have distorted and is now catching the drum. another option would be that if your machine has a gel type drive belt it may have disintergrated and got fould on the flywheel.

it probably has everything to do with your plumbing work. if the screch is only when filling without any drum movement then the plumbing will be the culprit. fido is right that you should clean out the drawer. hotpoints tend to accumulate sludge under the drawer. also your plumbing work may...

yes i should have one on dvd. moderator will not let us communicate direct. tell me what you want to know and i'll ook it up for you.

if the machine stops and will only restart for a short time after pressing the start button, it usually means that the motor carbons are worn. to test this put it on a final spin only with a decent load in and see if it works. or better still take the motor off and check them.

depends on the model. on some you can access the drain pump impellor from under your filter cover . if you remove the filter you will see to the left side of the sump a small t-20 torx head screw. undo this and remove the little cover. any blockage can be removed from there usually. if you,ve...

if it has pulled the 4 wires off the thermistor, the you can identify which goes where if you have a basic multimeter. the four tags onthe thermistor are in two pairs. one pair will show continuity with no resistance. these are the safety cut-out terminals and are wired in line with the heater...

there can be calcium deposits around our area. so i presume you have identified a problem. you kettle element is usually a good indicator. personally i've a comercial customer who drastically reduced lime scale by fitting an appliance hose which has a magenet attached to it.

just a foot note to say that the latest hotpoint washerdryers are the same machine as yours since merloni took over the gda group. also some ariston machines are wma hotpoints in disguise.

take off the lid and they are on the underside of the timer. easiest for you would be remove one at a time. nip the connections SLIGHTLY and replace. only afetr checking the pump first. also one of my customers today had the same fault. guess what! she'd pressed the spin cancel button. have...

you should be able to fit a new one no probs. i buy them from a trade supplier but there should be a number for spares on your machine. i don't think that they'll charge much for one.

if this is a washer dryer and it's recent model, then it's probably an indesit in hotpoint clothing. if this is the case then you remove the lid and look at the heater box. you should see two wires attached to each of the heater terminals. one of these connections is a wire which is fed through...
