Top 20 Hotpoint Aquarius WMA42 Front Load Washer Questions & Answers

I would check the water pump for a blockage a button or other debris may be lodged in there preventing it for operating properly eric

maybe the concrete balancing weight has come loose and the fact that most of the water has been drained off when you turn it off for 10 seconds it does not have the one-sided affect anymore also check the damping springs as one may have come off in the violent spin eric

Yes then check the motor carbons

Call warranty service as trying to fix yourself may void warranty

Hello! Please check the Troubleshooting part of the manual. https://manualsbrain.com/en/manuals/1861489/?page=18 Hope it will help

It might be grease from the bearings due to a failed seal.

sounds like possibly a sloppy bearing causing the drum to wobble excessively nothing can be done to avoid this other than change the bearing. always assuming your load isn't seriously out of balance of course.

check ur door switch , belt, clutch or motor coupler/

The WMF540 motor is usually quite robust, depending on the symtoms.... I would look at the Main control panel, and check the brushes on the motor.

It's probably just caked with powder or conditioner and needs cleaned. Your handbook gives instructions on how to remove the drawer. Alternatively the dispenser to drum inlet hose may be blocked and some hot water may clear that.

Either it not getting water, or the motor brushes are worn out. Sam

Disconnect from the power socket. Leave for 5 minutes. If still not opening, ensure it is not plugged in and remove the lid by unscrewing fixings at the back and sliding forward. Catch can then be released from inside casing by sliding lock bar. Will need new door interlock assembly.

There are many reasons that this could be noisy... When you turn the drum (quickly) when it's empty does it rumble? Bearings, drum support or motor bearings. If it sounds like a pneumatic drill when filled and spinning it could be drum support, bearings, balance weight or suspension. These are not an exhaustive list but the usual suspects.

Hi, if you have located the right switch then heres how to test it. UNPLUG THE WASHER from the mains. On the pressure switch you should see a plastic pipe, follow it down away from the switch and disconnect at the other end. If all is quiet in the room, blow hard down the pipe and you should hear a click, this is the switch changing and if you have a continuity meter on the wires you should see it switch on and off. These switches rarely fail so i suspect you have trouble elsewhere.

go online hotpoint will supply you with handbook probably download from their website hope this helps

If it is not behind the lower front panel, there is none! The tub bottom hose has a coin trap in the bottom, and that's it.

it can cause a lot of rust on the metal parts of washer and could cause wires to short out
