Re: Hotpoint WD420 light 3 flashing

Ok thanks for the response. I turned it off for 10 minutes and back on and stuck on a wash. It’s on spin now so not sure if it’s fixed itself?? Would be interested to know the exact error message for light 3 (rinse hold) flashing.

Cheers,
Ciaran.

Re: Hotpoint WD420 stuck mid wash

Ok I bit the bullet earlier this evening and took off the hose…wasn’t as bad as I thought. There was a conical shaped plastic thingy sitting inside the hose attached to the underside of the machine (sump??), and inside this there was a white plastic ball. Initially I thought this was the problem (duh!) but then realised this was actually part of the machine. Inside the conical thingy there was, among other things, a make up remover pad, coins, bits of a cigarette lighter, and some gunk. I removed all this, replaced everything, and reattached the hose. Felling chuffed with myself I put on a 30 degree fast wash to test it out…but it’s still happening!

What could be causing it…was there something else I should have done? It’s still lights 2 and 4 (Reduce creases and time saver) flashing. By the way the water that drained out came from the hose pipe as opposed to the machine.

Thanks again,
Ciaran

Ok thanks – I’m not much good at this type of thing, how do I go about checking if it’s blocked?
