Re: Hotpoint WD440 G – flashing lights, fails to drain
it was actually 2 washes, come to think of it.
there is slight damp patch on the floor but cant see any visible signs of leakage around the drain pump and drain pipe. My concern is that the area in the machine (and indeed the coils on the pump) would have been wet from when i had to solve the original problem.
would it be worthwhile disconnecting the pump again to check this (or perhaps check something else??)
Cheers, much appreciated

..by the way i have checked the connections at the back, replaced the 13AMP fuse in the plug but the same problem occurs.
i havent disconnected the pump again as to be honest i would not know what i would be looking for
Cheers
Re: Hotpoint WD440 G – flashing lights, fails to drain
New problem has now occurred since I did the fix last Thursday.
Everything went according to plan and we managed to perform 3 wash programs with everything going ok.
Saturday morning, i ran the drying programme for 90 minutes. When i came back home, all the electricity was off and i narrowed this down to the washing machine.
What will be the cause of the machine breaking the circuit bearing in mind my recent ‘repair’.
I am not sure when during the cycle it occured but it seemed to be at the end as the clothes were dry and still warm.
Your help has been appreciated so far

cheers for all the help Jim.
Just done as you have suggested and was surprised how easy it was. There was an eyelet and tough material attached stuck in the pump but managed to safely remove it by opening it up.
Heopfully this will rectify the problem – just running a test wash through now so will let you know how it goes!!
Cheers
