Hotpoint BWM12

[philes]

Hi, problem with a hotpoint BWM12.
Fills a little, turns drum, then pumps right out, and the dial clicks around.
Light flashes 3 to 4 times i think.
If the pump is drained out completely via the filter in the front, the machine then works for a couple of times but then reverts back to the above fault, its had a new drain pump not long ago.
Any idea what could be the problem ?
I was thinking its might be the pressure switch, but it seem to be clicking in and out ok.
HELP !!!
Thanks
Phill

So, is it three or is it four, makes a difference. 😉

Note that these flashing lights are only a pointer to the possible area at fault, the electronics on these Indesit machines are notoriously unreliable.

3 flashes suggests an NTC ( temperature control device ) or its related circuits are faulty.

4 flashes points to a pressure switch fault.
