Bonjour Pierre,
There is a filter behind the cover panel at the bootpm of the front of the machine. Pull the panel off, and the filter cover can be unscrewed. Bear in mind that the machine is never empty, so have a big towel or mop to hand! If the machine has actually stopped full of water, you will need to empty it by bringing the drain hose down into a bucket before unscrewing the filter.Pull the plug first, bon chance,

This is a digital machine? To reset, look on the control panel at the programme buttons, 2 of them will have small black dots below. Hold them down and switch on. After about a minute, it should all go quiet – progs reset.
This may well not solve your problem. After the initial drain-out at the start of the programme, the machine should fill. As you do not have continual drain pump operation, the fill step is the problem. Either the valve has failed; or you may have an Aquastop fill hose. If tripped, you must turn off the water supply, depressurise the fill hose and then reconnect.
If this restarts your machine, you still need to find out why it tripped. If you’re not sure get some help! You can either check in “Directories” for your postcode, or leave it here and someone will pick up on it.
Whatever you do, pull the plug FIRST!

Penguin45.I think if you ask Tony_EMW you will find that he does charge the public rather more.
I’ve used EMW for years with rarely a problem. We do use QER, but their success rate on anything vaguely unusual is very low.
I you act as the middle man for the public BTW, where will you finish with regard to guarantees?

Wasn’t it the universal swear word in “Red Dwarf”? Had the authors had an experience one wonders………..

We saved £600 (!) on my van insurance by using an FSB affiliated insurer. That’s worth £100 a year on its own.

I went to a W123 this morning, rumbling away gently it was, went to the van for the crosspiece (on special offer at the moment £21.95 +) and bolted it on.
I went to a W123 this afternoon, rumbling away gently it was, went to the van and got another crosspeice (Cheap, bought a few you see…), took the rear cover off and was confronted by a Philco back panel………
Just as well I still had a bearing set on board; but really! This would have caught most of us out!

Not being a company engineer, it’s a bit difficult to pass accurate comment on the state of manufacturers service networks. Rumblings from customers and through our local independents suggest that there is a shortage of company engineers, and this is stretching response times.
I take your it w/d was on extended warranty? You may want to rethink this for future applainces; certainly any independent (or UKW) repairer would have been able to repair a Hotpoint Washer DRyer more or less on the spot!

Penguin457 yrs from date of cessation. The catch is “Suitable replacement part” – you may finish up with a an entire replacement door!
Dave, Martin and K (being older than I) will no doubt remember Hoover making the “small hole” drum pulley obsolete, and replacing it with an entire drum/pulley/backplate assembly. This was deemed to be a suitable replacement!

Penguin45Hi Neil,
Is the d/w emptying into a stand-pipe, or is it coupled up to a spigot under the sink? If the latter, it may well be collecting old food detritus and drainy smells. Strip and clean.The best way of actually cleaning the machine that we’ve come across over the years is to wait for the thump as the soap flap fires, stop the machine and shoot in the entire contents of a Jif lemon, and allow to complete cycle. It’ll cost you 50p in the supermarket.
Hotpoint WD62? The world’s first motorised pogo stick! Let us know how you go with the 64, we’re always interested in how the new appliances are performing in the field.

Penguin45.Keep it shtumm, don’t do a little post, do a bloody great big one! This is important, a BIG step on the credibility ladder and we should make the most of it.

No, you didn’t …………… The machines across the Miele range are beautifully built, but if they go wrong – you pay!
Looks hopeful though…….
