We have a Hotpoint WMA34 machine. It is starting to smell nasty/mouldy when you go to use it - we have never found a bottom filter on it - I also think it is not spinning as dry as it was - ? partial blockage (tissues or accumulated crud) - is there a filter? How do we access it? I wondered if we could in meantime run a wash with bleach to help kill the smell - what do you think?
Hi if you pull your machine out so you have access to rear then you can remove the bottom panel using a screw driver. This will then give you access to the sump pipe, using either a pair of grips, or screw driver/ depending what fitting you have, you can remove the clip holding the sump hose in place,You may find that this is where you are likely to have a blockage.be sure to place the ball back into place after as this acts as a non return vaulve. while you have this pipe off it may be worth just taking the pump side of the pipe off to ensure the pump is clear.Also make sure all pipes are on secure when replacing clips.
