Hotpoint WLD520 Washer Drier Leak

[McKech]

My Hotpoint washer drier is leaking directly below the dispenser drawer.
I have taken the drawer out and cleaned it, and put it on to wash.
The water is passing through the dispenser and leaking directly below.
The ‘wash cycle’ light is continuously blinking.

Any help appreciated.

The Indesit type dispenser drawers on all Hotpoint machines of this age had leak problems. Several modifications made to try and overcome the problem, at one time there was a complete dispenser/drawer kit but now you have to order the various parts individually and identifying the correct parts is a minefield. Full model number, serial number and commercial code is needed.

You could try reducing the water pressure to the machine if your mains pressure is high, use the tap to the inlet hose to adjust flow. Also raising the two front feet to give the machine a very slight backwards tilt can help.
