hotpoint WD420 washer dryer

[pte440]

Hi all,

my hotpoint thingy has developed a weird fault, on starting it takes a little water in and then stops, sometimes the drum will turn 1/4 turn then stop, then go the other way after a couple of minutes, it has the door locked and wash light on, then it just seems to freeze,

any ideas please?

it should fill twice in about 3 mins if it only fills once you poss have a open circuit valve .

thank you, yes it only takes one lot of water in and then freezes.
i will check the valves.
is it normal for the drum to do 1/2 turn then stop, as sometimes it does this for a few mins before seeming to run normally?

only if the valve is oc.

Hi Rocks, thanks for your help, Mr Hotpoint came out yesterday and said the main PCB was faulty so now wait 5 days for another one.
Will keep you posted
