Have a read through all the threads that reference hotpoint bearings. Could a couple of reasons. but as it's a hotpoint, odds are it's the bearings.

I would think not. Most electric ovens have a separate fan in the top cavity that pushes any warm air out through the front.

There is a kit available to remove and replace bearings on the older machines. Not sure on the WMA range, but would imagine there would be one for that too. The trick, in the absence of the kit used to be to use a big hammer and a metal shaft to knock the inner bearing out (you slide the...

The most common fault is the carbon brushes on the motor. If they are worn the motor might well still appear to wash, but when it gets to the spin cycle the main RCD will trip. The brushes are in holders and slide into the back of the motor. In the picture below the holders are white, but...

Prior to April this year, If you were doing work for private customers only then you didn't need one. If you were working for a contractor then you would have needed one, but as far as I am aware the system changed in April, so now you don't need one anyway. But, as you are just starting...

Slide a sheet of newspaper under the machine and put it on a rinse. When the machine has filled with water slide the paper out and see if the paper is wet. Make a note of where abouts on the paper. ( ie. rear left. Front middle ) If it is only a slight leak, you might have to let it go...

Probably the drum bearings. Very very common with hotpoint. Can be repaired but depends on age as to viability.

The waste pipe from your machine needs to be positioned higher. If you tie the waste pipe high to the back of the machine that should solve it. I expect the problem lies with the fact that your machine is plumbed into the outlet under the sink. The "dirty water" is draining from the...

Harry. I can see five connections on the diagram for +2 but you seem to refer to only three. Do you need to remove a cover to access the live incoming terminals?

I had a look at a job last year. The kitchen had been plastered and the guy had fitted all his metal back boxes in place. Lovely job. Only problem. No cables. Not a one. :)

Try Maplin. If you know the size of the capacitor they can match them sometimes. Usually for less than a tenner.

Could you post a picture handylady? I'm new here, but having read a few threads I get the impression pictures are very much appreciated, and it usually makes it easier to explain things if everyone can see exactly what you are talking about. 8)

Hi The pump would be the obvious choice. Either something could be jammed in the impellor stopping it from operating or it's quite common for the impellor to come away from the pump shaft altogether. You can sometimes see the impellor when you remove the filter. If you can, Just double...
