Re: Hotpoint WMA60 wont do final pump out and release door
quick update
first off many thanks for all the helpful advice. I’ve canned the dolly tub replacement as I think I’ve sorted it, more by chance than anything else (witchcraft it most surely is!!!) .after checking for frayed (shorted wires) I ran a normal wash whilst looking for anything obvious as it went through its thing and noticed a small drip (not me) coming from where I had put the hose back on to the sump. At the end of the cycle it stopped as usual so I manually drained it unlugged it from the mains and reseated the sump hose. and ran the cycle again, And lo, it worketh a treat. ran a few more cycles with no problems whatsover. The question is… WHY?????
off on a tangent we have always had Hotpoint washers and on the whole have been most satisfied, but considering a replacement in case this one gave up the ghost or was to uneconimical wifey was peturbed that the new hotpoint machines had dispensed with several functions she likes in paricular
prewash, rinse hold and only cold fill, any reason Hotpoint?
anyways thanks again for the help

Hi iadom
thanks for the quick reply. yes Ive checked the drain hose and it is free from any blockage, the pump does make a sound when it is pumping out during the wash cycle but I have not removed it to check that is turning as you describe.
However I did not mention that a couple of weeks ago I removed the sump to take out a coin that had become trapped between inner and outer drum I made sure that it was put back correctly the only difference was that I used jubilee clips to secure the sump hose to the pump as I could not get the original spring clips back. as an aside is there a trick to get the original clips back on or do you need a special tool??
if the machine goes through a normal wash (except at the end) does this not mean most of the components are working ie inlet valves, pressure switch, pump etc. damm complicated these new fangled whotsits, think I’ll trade it in for a dolly tub
