We have a Hotpoint Aquaris WMF 760 washing machine.
i moved it outside for 1 week whilst we decorated the kitchen.
We have just put it back into the kitchen but now it will not work.

When it was outside we even did say 4 washes.
Water is turned on as you can here it build the pressure up then the stop tap is turned on.
Electric is on & all lights on machine working like you would expect.
Load machine,select cycle & you here the click for the door lock etc.

Now im just waiting.
After a few minutes there is no sound etc like water should be entering the machine.

Is there any tests etc i can do as i cant believe my luck.

It had been tilted when put back. You have upset the pressure switch. You could try and remove lid and blow down the pipe and pressure switch to try and reset it. Other way Is tip a litre of water in the drum and put on pump out, That might do it. If not the pcb needs to be reprogrammed.
 
The pipe,would that be a round brown thing on the side of the machine also with wires.
It has a clear tube on it ?

Ive blown down the tube then waited but nothing.
Got the hose pipe in and filled it with 5ltrs of water, switched it to Rise and started.
After running a few minutes ive now put the washing on and er indoors is happy.

Hopefully i wont be back with bad news but next wash after this should be ok if its working now correct ?
