SOURCE: Error code f08 on Wt940 ultima.

not sure if this will help but try:
First empty the machine by lowering the hose at the rear to ground level into a container. Take off the white plastic cover on rear at bottom. You will see black rubber hose connected to barrel of machine in right hand corner. Undo the silver screw on the band securing the hose. (Biggest band). You can now pull the hose down to reveal a "table tennis like" ball. Lift it out carefully and you will probably find an obstruction like a coin or similar. I found a hairgrip but it was enough to stop the ball functioning. DO NOT TAKE OFF THE WHITE HOSE CLIPS
Comment by pulmicort, posted on Feb 02, 2008 Further to my comments re clearing scrap from table tennis ball after code F4. Machine started ok but then F5 came up. Had to take the pump off and apart to reveal broken hairclip actually seized in pump. If you are handy at all this is simplicity itself.
Slide pump to left and lift and it comes clear. Take off 2 black hoses only where connected to main machine. Pull off electrical connection. Pump and hoses lift out easily. 3 screws open the pump. Clean any obstruction and reassemble. A 30 minute operation.

what this indicate is that there have been a power disconnection from power supply on the jet string connected to the drum (drum controller)

what you will have to do to solve this problem is to unscrew the the washer then trace the wire down to the jet it is round in shape at the back of the washer

Hotpoint ultima washing machine wma74 drum not turning

If the machine wasn't excessively noisy before and when you select spin only you can't hear the motor running its likely to be the carbon brushes in the motor worn down till they no longer contact stick a new set in if the carbon length sticking out the brass holder is less than around half an inch long

It is possible the motor start capacitor has failed. Unless you know how to test it, call a service person.

I have a hotpoint ultima wt940 washing machine,, which is displaying a tap symbol,, when it fills up at the start of the cycle,, h2o flashes on the screen,, then the machine stops. Any advice? Thanks.

H20 is indicating a problem with the water supply.
Check tap/s are turned on fully, no restriction in hose/s, and make sure that there is sufficient water pressure.
Another possibility is that the inlet valve/s are faulty inside the washer.
Please rate my solution.
Thanks.
