if your machine is less than five years old, my advice would be to ring hotpoint and claim a complete new drum/tub assembly under their five year parts warranty. the catch is that you'll pay them £95 to fit it for you. they would also replace any other damaged parts within that cost barring...

if it's got a steel drum then you need a good torx40 bit to remove the drum spider and the flywheel nut. when you drive out the bearings you will see that they are normal ball race type available anywhere. the seal however may be a bit more tricky as it has an external gasket attached to mate...

sometimes a good thump on the front panel will release the lock. apart from that fidos advice is spot on. the only awkward part is relocating the front panel. if you're not used to it you must make sure that the locating points on the cabinet are properly located in the "keyhole" points on your...

the machine would not progress through the cycle if it wasn't getting water. you should perhaps be made aware that a whirpool appliance in europe is a totaly different animal from the ones in the states.

follow fidos advice first

yes that's the one i was thinking of

your maschine may have a double solenoid on your cold water valve. it's possible that your rinse cycle is o.k. but if the coil dedicated to dispensing conditioner is open circuit then the water will not go into the drawer properly or at all. also some machines have a mechanism to direct water...

if ther water is clean without odour then its almost certainly one or both of your solenoid valves. if its dirty water or smelly it will be back filling from your sink although hotpoints do have a basic non return valve at the drain pump. where your drain hose comes through the side of your...

lets start from the beginning. 1. disconnect the wiring harness from the motor. 2. the block on the motor will have seven spade terminals in it. 3. disconnect both of the spade terminals from each of the brush holders and leave them loose. 4. insert one of your probes into one of the brush...

when you check and refit your lock, make sure that you remember to reconnect the very tight black rubber tube to the bottom of the lock. if you dont know it's there you may remove the lock and it will come off without you realising. also if your machine has a neon light holder on the lock you'll...

i have distriparts dvd collection of service manuals. i've checked your oven out and there are no wiring diagrams available in the info. sorry can't help

bit of a wierd one this. i would take off the front door panel and with the power disconnected i'd inspect the wiring loom where it crosses the bottom of the door. this area is prone to wiring faults in many different dishwashers. give each wire a tug one at a time you may have some cut and some...

must disagree with fido on this one. myself and a number of other repair guys have always felt that liquid detergent corrodes aluminium parts. particularly on machines like hoover logics. can't prove it of course but whenever i open up a machine and see such corrosion 9 times out of 10 they've...

it probably fell out after washing a pair of trainers. it's a doddle to fit but beware there are two versions so make sure you get the right ones. if the price you've ben quoted includes postage then you may as well get a full set. if you look at the drum you will see an area that locks onto...

that's a good cheat but you'll have to make sure you only do it for colour-fast items, otherwise that rogue red sock will cause havoc.

when fitting any dishwasher it is essential to make sure that the door closes squarely. i.e. that it doesn't pull the cabinet sideways as you close it. admittedly with an integrated machine this problem is less likely but it can happen. rather like that old joke of sawing a leg off a table, the...

if the water is clean then you have got either one or both of your fill valves are leaking (like a dripping tap) into your machine. the best way to cure it is to replace them both. or if you want to identify which one (usually the cold) simply turn only one off overnight and work it out from...

pardon my ignorance, but what is it? a washer ,dishwasher etc.

sounds like a partial blockage in your pump housing. the machine needs to get rid of water before spinning. if it's partially blocked it will be draining some but not enough in the time allowed. when you set it to spin only you are starting it off from a partially drained position and it...

trace the wires from the presure switch back to the circuit board. it's possible that the switch is unable to "tell" the board that it's up to wash level. it may even just be a loose plug on the board. if not take the board ot and lok for blown tracks which you may be able to re-solder.
