Hotpoint WD440 Not Pumping Water

[richbaxter]

Hi all
I have had many nightmares with this Hotpoint WD440 machine and now its out of its 12 months warranty (as of last week) Hotpoint now want to charge me!

Basically, its not pumping water out. I have checked the pump and hoses and all seems ok. Could this be a PCB fault?

If so, is there a guide anywhere for me to follow on how to replace this as I have seen a few PCB's on eBay.

Thanks for your help
Rich

Just want to add, I just tried a rinse spin and it tried and gave up now showing the on/off flashing very fast with the 2nd and 4th lights (reduce creases and time saver) flashing slower.

If anyone knows what this is, I'd appreciate your help.

Thanks
Rich

no worries now, I think I've done it. Found a hairpin deep inside the pump after taking the pump apart and now its working.

Nice bit of info had the same prob found a needle blocking the impellor took the pump out and apart and saved a nice wedge of cash.
Thanks
