without seeing it its difficult to tell but that series of models are prone to having faulty pcb's.
it will be covered under your 5 year parts guarantee so would only cost you the labour through hotpoint.

Post up the serial number , that model has only been out since 2008. It will cost you parts and labour £110.00, you have a motor fault on that machine.

Serial number is 9 digits long , it should start with
7 8 or a 9. It's a motor fault. Motor is £80.00 pcb is £75.00 , pcb you have to programme that you cannot do yourself.
