General concensus is that a hair clip could have caught on the drum, with a spin cycle it’s end rubbing on the plastic case would have got needle in flame hot and done its damage. I could fit my fingers between the casing and drum and it was roughly where the drum front meets the drum skin rather than the drum front rim.. Either way tiz toast.. For another tenna she can have a brand new machine.. Bit gutted I hadn’t seen it from the getgo..

Cheers iadom / exlectrofix dave, I checked that pipe carefully along with the plastic lower chamber (No idea its official title), no cracks or holes, no rubbing. I noted a nice big sock, possible made from neoprene, around the pipe so in this case there’s nothing for the pipe to rub on. I’ve ordered the pressure switch.

I’m really surprised there’s no engineer mode or test mode as previously mentioned. Even my 15yo LG has the ability to check all major functions in sequence, Another hotpoint, washer/drier I had pleasure to fix had this facility, just bins hours of waiting it to go wrong while it washes socks!..

I tried the 1,2,3 power cycle trick, obviously unique to the hotpoint machine featured in the youtube video, certainly don’t work on the HVL211..

Hi Dave, when I visit next this hose will get examined, hoses are cheaper than sensors…
