Washing still wet - door won't open.

Hello Hope you can advise me. I have an Hotpoint Aquarius Extra WMA46. When I put the washing on a cycle, it goes through all its bits, then when it reaches "Final Spin" it falls asleep. The door won't open because it has not finished. I have tried just putting it on "Fast Spin", but it still leaves the clothes wet. The washing machine has been moved recently. The cycle works if I stand with the drainage pipe and hold the pipe up when the machine is filling (or the clean water just drains out) and down when I know it is spinning. Please help, this is driving me insane, my washing takes hours to wash, and if I have to take them out wet, hours to dry, plus I don't think putting very wet washing in my tumble dryer is doing it much good!! Please help me!!!! Thanks, Carol.

Not a fault with washer. i guess you are plumbed into trap under sink. the spigot you fastened drain hose to is blanked off - there are various methods of doing this including have to saw off the end of the spigot with the bread knife. possible also a fault with pump or filter

Hotpoint fault?

Check the drain and circulation hoses for partial blockages as usually this causes such problems. Also make sure you using program with full speed spin cycle (solid spiral sign just before the dot pointing the end of chosen programme)

Hotpoint Aquarius WMA46 front loader

I 've had this problem a few times with these machines.

Some solutions that have worked for me are.

1 change the motor.
2 change the wiring loom
3 change the board.

The most common one is the motor even when the it has decent brushes the motor just will not pick up speed on the spin cycle.

hope this helps.

WMA46 stopped woking power off mid cycle

hi there the problem you have sounds like the motor has shorted out causing the pcb to blow, sadly this is a costly repair and is usualy not worth repairing as you will need a new motor and pcb
