Hotpoint Washer Dryer Taking hours to wash

[jimbo.911]

Hi guys,

Before I make that phonecall to the repairer any ideas? I have a wd61 about 6 years old worked OK but is now taking hours to go through even the quick wash. The programmer progresses OK but just takes forever.

Thanks for the help

Jamie

more info would help

try this

put it on a rinse cycle, let it fill and empty how long does it take?

i would guess if its quite some time its the filter blocked, quite common on a wd

Breezer, thanks for the info it is taking an age to fill, our water pressure is real low at the best of times, plus the waters hard, but is taking ages to fill. I noticed it has failed to fully flush the conditioner from the tray suggested poor flow. I'll have a look at the filters, are these the ones on the hose inlets or are there others inside the machine?

the inlet valves do have a fine mesh (you will see when you take fill pipes off) but its unlikely these are blocked

the taps the fill pipes are conneted to are they plumbed in or clamp on

clamp on type have an amazing ability to re seal (not 100% but enough to slow water flow) only cure cut pipe out and fit plumbed in ones.

also make sure fill pipes are not kinked

when it did fill how long did it take to empty?

the "filter" is at the other end of the grey outlet pipe but i suspect your problem is due to the filling
