Hello everyone,
I’m new to this forum and am sorry for just coming fresh and asking for help, but any is necessary as this issue is haunting me for quite a few days now.
My Hotpoint BHWD129 won’t drain water whenever it should. It gets stuck upon every attempt and 5 LEDs flash (extra options and the start/stop button). This issue persists for over two weeks now. I have self-drained the machine myself numerously, checked the filter and bought a new pump. I’ve checked hoses also.
Today, upon installation of the new pump, I have done an empty washing machine run and everything went smooth, water drained. However, when I ran a washing cycle again, it just stops before going into spinning and when I try to pump out via an option, I can hear the pump attempting to for a second but stopping immediately after that.
Also, I’d add that once the cycle stopped, LEDs for Spin and Dry were lit, even though drying was disabled in this cycle.
Now I am out of ideas.
Thank you for any help in advance.

difficult to diagnose these sort of faults from afar but from what you describe it sounds like a board fault.
if it was a pump or blockage, when you selected drain the pump would try to run for a while before aborting. the fact it only runs for approx 1 sec it cant be much else.
there is one long shot. the heaters on modern machines can sometimes upset the electronics. disconnect the heater (secure wires safely) and see if it improvesDave
dont forget to remove plug first
