ok, so its an earlier model
the pump/filter is at the rear of the machine

theres a lower access panel at the back, behind therem, youll see a black hose leading from the drum to the pump, your obstruction will be in the black pipe or the pump itself

2 and 4 flashing is inded an f05 fault
its the pressure switch stuck on full

i.e its not emptying

the pump filter is behind the lower kickstrip at the front of the machine

try and tip the machine back before you open it and put a bowl under it to catch the water

and of course, plug out!!

is it just the bit where the pin is held in place.. i had one today, just made a hole through the back, and used a cable tie to secure the pin…

not had one back yet…

£500 for a washer dryer is cheap

but the badge on the front should have been warning enough

another good british company thrown down the toilet by the italians

thing is, its a budgeting thing.. apparently good value, and consumer naivity

my motto? buy cheap – buy twice

spend the money next time and get a quality machine.. that day will be sooner than you expected

put some washin up liquid on a softdamp cloth and wipe the lip of the seal and put it on a boil wash, that helps

[helo_75]

lol, id ignore the hotpoint machine.. total pants

[helo_75]

check the front felts not come off
thats the usual culprit

[helo_75]

even worse.. try it with nothing in and see what happens

[helo_75]

what did you try to spin?

[helo_75]

good luck, let us know how u got on

[helo_75]

possibly

the best way, is to undo the 3 screws on the base of the pump were it screws onto the cover and look inside

[helo_75]

and there is a filter in there, it just cant catch everything!

[helo_75]

if theres something in there, then theyll charge you…..

[helo_75]

theres more than one valve you know

werent you aware theres a single valve just for the conditioner? or does the fact that it fills mean its ok?

ah well
