Checking the motor carbon brushes would be the first logical step.

Many thanks for your reply.
I removed the brush holders from the motor(2 screws) and exercised the brushes(good amount of brush left approx 30mm. Unplugged the motor plug that sits on the motor and refitted after checking for burnt/loose wires.
Machine has done 4 washes no problems. Maybe i dislodged a sticky brush or something I am not sure.Re: Hotpoint WML520 Aquarious 6kg
It is more Indesit than Hotpoint, the wiring connections and plugs are not the only weak points on these machines sadly. 🙁
Also you should look at the ends of the brushes, they should be quite shiny, not rough and pitted.
Re: Hotpoint WML520 Aquarious 6kg
Problem has returned after a month. There is a change in that the machine will now not pump out or spin when those modes are selected.
I shall remake the plug and check the brushes again(will order new I think) and see how I go.
Any other guidance greatly appreciated.
