Hotpoint aquarious wd440 faults

[daze]

Hi all, I have an issue and need some advice.
My hotpoint wd440 washer/drier will not pump out the water. i have read some posts here and have removed and cleaned the filter but the fault still occurs. The fault lights no 2 and 4 are flashing along with the power light. the wash cycle works ok but stops when it should pump out. if i lower the drain pipe below the level of the drum the water now drains ok so i am confident the filter and pipe are clear. Any advise on what is wrong would be great also a cheap parts supplier and fitting advice would be much appreciated.
Many thanks.

Check the pump poss impeller jammed. Follow waste pipe to it.

On my machine, (not a Hotpoint) I had the problem of the water not being pumped out. I discovered that my son had put a hair tie in the machine, this had got wrapped around the pump impellor, jammimg it solid, hence no water being pumped out so the probram was not getting a signal to move on to the next stage in the wash cycle. Hopefully, your problem will be as simple as mine was.

You are very welcome, my friend, I am pleased to hear that your problem is solved. It's a great feeling when you get a good result.

I recently had a true result in fixing the main control board of my WD440 thanks to the C17 copacitor page on this site, but I am still stuck with another problem.

After about 5 mins on a normal wash, it repeatedly tripped the MCB for the downstairs sockets. The tripping continues about 8 or so times until the first drain. I wondered whether it's concerned with the heating element in the early part of the wash cycle. Any ideas? Wouldn't I get and error display if the heating element had gone?

Thanks
