Re: Hotpoint Aquarius WF540
There is a reason why the water is still in the drum. It has nothing to do with the speed of the drum/motor.
Either there is still something stuck in the pump or you may have a blockage elsewhere in the drain side. Is it plumbed into a sink waste, it could be blocked there. You may have a sock or similar inside the sump hose from the drum to the pump, this would explain the dragging noise you were getting.
