We have an old Hotpoint 71350 Deluxe which has served us well for more than 20 years. Yesterday however it stopped emitting water (during any of the programmes). Could anyone suggest what the likely causes might be, and what I might be able to check myself?
TIA

Emitting………
Not filling, not draining or not circulating?

Sorry – I mean it’s not filling with water. Absolutely no water is being sprayed into the machine.
Re: Hotpoint 71350 not supplying water
This is actually an old Bosch appliance and all the better for it. There are a couple of possibilities with the problem.
1/ Easy (!). Pull the plug and tip the machine back. In the rear right hand corner, there is a hose which runs around in a circle for several turns. It has a bad habit of sludging up – remove it and flush out. 8/10 this will solve the problem.
2/ Inlet valve failure. Basic check involves a test meter and looking for a resistance reading of 3-5kohms. No longer available from Hotpoint, but Bosch still supply – not cheap though.
3/ Broken wiring in the pivot area of the door – remove door outer panel to check for breaks.
Stay safe – power off at all times.
