Re: Hotpoint WD420 – Not draining before spin

Thanks for the help Richard – it was one of those tumble dryer freshener sheet things wrapped around the plastic ball/filter. Her indoors won’t be using those again in a hurry!

Whose bright idea was it to make the “filter” so inaccessible… We previously had a Zanussi with easy access to the filter behind a simple flap in the front panel.

Cheers!

Re: Hotpoint WD420 – Not draining before spin

Looks like I do have a partial blockage as the water runs out fairly slowly rather than fast when the pipe is above machine height.

The next question is of course how do I get access to the pump/filter? it seems to be hidden away with no easy front access.

Thanks for getting back so quick Simon,

When you set it to ‘Pump Out’ it drains in a normal kind of time, it doesn’t seem slow – not timed it though.

I’ll check later – it’s in the middle of drying at the moment.
