Re: Hotpoint HE8L493GUK won’t open.

Spoke to a friend who is semi useful at these kinda things unlike me and he said check the heater and sensor?

I’ve just done that and took a picture do either of them look broke to you?
Thanks

Back again!

Problem persists. I followed your advice and you were right the trap was full of gunk so i cleaned it out and replaced and seemed ok however last night problem returned.

I’ve just took the machine apart while unplugged of course.

I disocnnected drain pump and hoses, the drain hose was fine however i found £4.50 in coins in the sump hose! Rest of sump hose felt clear so reassembled hoses and put a test wash on.

Water went in fine, span fine, drained fine however when the programme came to ending the ‘end’ LED came on as usual and instead of unlocking 30 seconds later it proceeded to fill to half a drum then empty to a drum 1/3 full and just repeat this cycle of fill halfway then empty to a third and refill to halfway.

I’ve given up for now! No idea what to look at next? Dodgy PCB? cycle just keeps repeating itself?

Hi Dave,

Sorry forgot to say pipes didn’t come off but water came out around joins on pipe due to pressure almost.

Emptied big bucket of water down sink to see if leak persists and not a drop came out.
