washing machine problem

[LOLE1960]

Ive got a Hotpoint wdd 960 and its showing error f.05. Its Not The Obvious, Blocked Pipe. But is as simple as someone leant against it when it was in a cycle, it then made a couple of clicking noises and all lit up, flashing, then went to error f.05. It washes but dont drain, dont want to finish its cycle. Did not know if there was some sort of reset button or something i could do
Please Help
Regards Lole

Pull out the plug and put it back in again.

That machine has a filter that is situated under the center of the machine. You can get to it either via the access plate on the rear or by pulling the machine forward and tipping backwards. Check the filter.

Until the next time she wants you to blow her pump. Should be pretty soon.

Sell it and buy a Miele.

Haha, that's awesome

When I worked at Dyson we were developing their washing machine. Most manufacturers have a full 'out of balance' scenario where the full weight of the load is concentrated on one side of the drum and the machine is on full spin. I think it was Hotpoint rigged up a machine so they could release the tub weights, which are the large concrete or iron weights on the outside of the tub to stop the machine jumping around. Apparently it jumped nearly 6 feet in the air! So watch out folks, if the weights break off yours, it'll wreck the kitchen

Water cooled pumps gradually fill up with the sludge that washing machines produce, your fix could last days, weeks, months ..................
