Re: Hotpoint BF162
If light No: 1 is flashing that suggests a flooded base. This can be caused by internal leaks or by an overflow due to oversoaping, oversoaping is often caused by using 3 in 1, 4 in 1 or 5 in 1 tablets.
you need to drag the machine out, unplug from the mains and after placing a few towels on the floor tilt the machine to one side. If water flows out from underneath then after it had drained away you can retry the machine.
If it fails again quite quickly you will have an internal leak that needs investigation.
