Re: Hotpoint WM52
If you’re attempting the repair yourself then it may not be too bad as Hotpoint spares are relatively low priced and easily obtainable.
It sounds like the bearings as far as the noise goes, the not pumping problem is more likely the pump itself as they are prone to intermittent problems like you describe.
Prices as a guide:
Bearing kit and drum support spider £30
Door seal £10
Pump £20
Door Lock £10
Most, if not all of those are in the shop on this site.
