Yes these can be bought as spares take the old broken one along to the spares dealer for identity if you are going to fit yourself, as well as the model number of your washing machine as hotpoint make three different versions of these paddles with different fixings.

I would suspect the door interlock mechanism may have been the cause of the fault were it has gone short circuit initially therefore blowing fuse, mcb, or rcd and then going open circuit therefore leaving the interlock jammed on the lock position.

Unfortunatly hotpoint do not make the filter accessible from the outside of the machine. The filter is located at the bottom of the drum in the large black sump pipe which drains the tub into the pump, it is connected onto the bottom of the tub with large black plastic bandclip or strong metal...

That series of springs and arms on the top of the soap dispenser is operated from a cam mechanism on the programmer which directs the water into the appropriate dispenser for the approriate part of the wash programme.With yours it will need some little adjustment as the jet is not directed over...

F05 means that there is something jammed in the filter. Refer to the manual for access to the filter and remove blockage.

Yes it could be bearings but also check first for loose concrete counterbalance or broken damper arms.If it is the bearings unfortunately it is one of the more bigger repairs in time and cost
