Re: Hotpoint WD420G – doesn’t drain
Jim, thanks for your advice. I took out the pump and found a load hair and fluff that had bound around the impeller. I guess it had built up and stopped it from spinning effectively.
Re: Hotpoint WD420G – doesn’t drain
the outlet pipe is (i believe) clear as i was able to drain the machine into a bowl and the water flowed easily.
I’ll have a go at removing the pump. From memory it looks like it connects to the base of the casing, are there holding screws underneath the machine?
Re: Hotpoint Aquarius WD420 – underwire gone through drum ho
brilliant Jim! did what you said and the offending item was thankfully at the bottom of the drum.
for future reference, i did not have a terminal screwdriver in my tool box but a small-medium allen key was thin enough to fit throught the hole and long enough to push the tab.
Re: Hotpoint Aquarius WD420 – underwire gone through drum ho
i’ve gone back for another look but cannot see anyway to remove the heating elements.
take a look at this picture:
the elements are inside the blue casing about where the red line is. on the outside just above the line is a plate with the wiring to the elements but there doesn’t appear (to me) to be a way of removing them from the casing.
is turning the unit on its side and having a look at the underneath of the machine advisable? perhaps there is another access point to the outer drum?
