Check your water inlet hoses for any kinks, also check inlet valves filter..that may be clogged up

Re: hotpoint aquaries wma54

No idea what you mean by ‘valves feel stiff’??????

Drain it out completely and try again, the plastic pipe is the pressure hose, ifithas come off the pressure switch you will get the error message you did.

Re: hotpoint aquaries wma54

so far so go iadom, it looks like it was the clear pressure hose. ty.. it has now used all my hot water for dishes lol. what happens if their is no hot water , will the programme stop, has this machine no heating element, are these old machines? if you have the time

have you certain procedure you follow when working with appliances?

isit years of expierience along with customer telling you whats not working, or isit i.e washing machine broke can you fix it and whats your methodical approach ….

Re: hotpoint aquaries wma54

If it has used all of your hot water it suggests you may have connected the pipes to the wrong valves, hot pipe to cold valve etc. if you have disconnected any wiring then you could have replaced them on the wrong valves. If you set it to a rinse & spin programme it should only fill with cold. All washing machines have a heating element.

There is no magic formula but over 40 years experience does help at times.
