Are you seeing any error codes, any lights flashing or on steady? you may need to leave it a few minutes for certain error codes to show.

Thanks for the reply

Although it has no error codes showing (it has no screen) my wife said that all the leds were flashing rapidly when she hard reset it.
Now you have confirmed the solenoids need 230v I definately suspect the Control unit, maybe a relay problem on the board?
I managed to find a second hand control unit for this model on ebay, from a bearing problem washer, for £20 so i thought i would give it a go for that price.
I’ll post when I see what happens

Re: hotpoint WMAL661P uk fill problem

Just as an addition to the above, the machine seems to work ok apart from not filling correctly ie the door locks and it pumps out and the drum motor runs.
My wife did say the machine was doing some strange things a couple of weeks ago and that she had to turn it off and back on a couple of times
