Re: My hotpoint Ultima won’t spin it screeches instead!
Thanks for the number for Link.
Have given them a ring can come to Portsmouth but I am into a £72.50 call out and labour charge before any parts so if talking about £100 – £150 for repair might as well think about a new machine. Am trying a local chap I have been given a contact for who comes recommended to see what his charge might be.But thank you for your thoughts / help anyway at least I have an idea of what might be wrong and an estimate for repair figure so I am not going in blind so to speak.
Re: My hotpoint Ultima won’t spin it screeches instead!
Must admit not too worried about the fabric conditioner bit as like said have managed without it. Am not using the machine at present as wasn’t happy when I realised there was something wrong. Just remembered it made a clonking sound just before it got to the spin cycle and then ‘jammed’ when it started to spin. Probably means not much more but hey as much info as possible always helps.
But any suggestions for a reputable engineer in my area (Portsmouth) would be very gratefully received as yellow pages is obviously full of them and don’t know where to start as am not back at work until Monday to ask if anyone there can recommend someone!Re: My hotpoint Ultima won’t spin it screeches instead!
Unfortunately my machine is over 5 years old. So do I presume it is going to be expensive ? I’m asking myself if it is worth the cost against a new one as had to replace the lifters recently as they all fell off ! Okay it wasn’t too expensive as did it myself but things are obviously going wrong with it now.
Re the fabric softener bit I do take out the drawer quite regularly and clean it all out and also clean inside where the drawer goes as am aware it does get a bit sticky and gooey. So all it has had for the last few months is water going through that section. Any other possible solutions ?
