    Quick question

    The washer has been stumbling along for few months and I now have to do something with it.

    Faults
    Rotate drum by hand sounds like it full of stones – bearing?
    Occasionally doesnt pump water when on spin cycle, always does on wash part of cycle – switch on electronic unit?
    Dicky door switch
    Split door seal.

    Is it time to scrap, its 4 years old?

    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.

    Dave.
