ParticipantI have a Hotpoint Aquarius WF320 washing machine.After the machine has filled and spun a few times the Wash Enhanced and Rinse Hold lights start to flash and the On/Off light flashes as well and the machine does nothing. It wont switch off by the On/Off button. I have to switch it off by the main power plug, switch on again and then I`m able to switch the On/Off button off. Is this an easy cheap fix or an expensive repairers job?

Ignore the on/off light, you need to give us the left hand, vertical lights by number from top down, or look here. http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/help/fix- … hines.html

Re Hotpoint WF320 flashing lights.
Reading vertically down:-
1, Wash Enhance
2, Reduced Creases
3, Rinse Hold
4, Mini Load
5, Extra Rinse
The lights that are flashing are #1 and #3.
I hope this is of some help.
Kind regards

Only a little, if you check the link I posted you will see it relates to a pressure switch problem.
It could a pump or filter blockage or even a faulty pressure switch , wiring or pcb failure.
The first thing to do is to check the pump and the filter, or the sump hose if your washer has the earlier screwed outer drum.
Your machine may have the awful, sealed drum, do you have removable pump filter that you can access from behind the lower kickstrip at the front?

Hi, I’ve been looking at my mams hotpoint wf320g that has this same problem. Cycle stops. Wash Enhance (LED 01) flashes and you have to switch the machine off to reset it.
Looking on various forums, i’ve exhausted all the possible suggested solutions.
I’ve checked the pump motor and housing and sump pipes and cleaned out some loose change and debris. The drain hose is clear as is the actual drain. I’ve checked the pressure switch pipes. ive checked carbon brushes and i’ve changed the actual pressure switch. The washer still stops mid cycle with no pattern. Sometimes it will stop as soon as you select a programme, sometimes it will run through a complete cycle.
My question is am i missing something?I’m ready to try a new PCB but wonder if this model needs plugging into the Hotpoint/indesit laptop to reprogramme it?
Thanks in advance.

This PCB has to be programmed.
