Reduce crease and mini load lights flashing on hotpoint wf541g. had pump failier and have replace with new on but still not pumping water out.

Heating eliment or PCB, is this when doing a prewash? or a normal wash excluding pre wash?
if you can manualy pump out and manualy rinse and spin, my guess is heating eliment is broke £20-£30

hi i had the same problem.
its either your filter is blocked or your pump is not working.
after switching the power off, remove the front bottom panel of the machine and unscrew the filter cap on the right behind that panel. check it's intact and clean iside, if not clean it out or replace it and that should fix it. be careful screwing the filter cap back in and make sure its on tight.
to check your pump is working you can pull out the machine and check that water is coming out of the hose by putting it on the pump out / drain cycle after pouring in some water for it to pump out.

check for debri in pump. the tech sheet inside the machine will tell what flashing lights mean unplug cord from wall first!!!

check pump/filter/outlet hose for blockages. if ok, check pressure switch (disc shaped item at top of machine with 4? wires and a tube) by blowing into it gently - should hear clicks, then blow into tube to pressure chamber - should be clear.

Hi,

I've just had this exact same problem. Can you tell me if you have had any success with fixing it please?

Thanks!

I have encountered a similar problem. The following lights were flashing on and off:

• On/Off.
• Reduced creases.
• Mini Load.

I also found that previously one of the 'lifters' inside the drum had broken off and someone had tried to put it back in place and continued to use the washing machine. After a short period of time the above mentioned flashing lights began.

I first suspected the pump, but this was fine. I then disconnected the hose which connects the hole from the drum to the pump and I found a child's sock blocking the hose. I removed the obstruction, put it back together and the machine worked perfectly. I also replaced the lifter (apparently these break quite often) and the machine has been working perfectly ever since that day.

I hope this helps. Good luck.

there may be something stuck in the pump itself. hairgrips and brawires are a common find.

Could be pressure switch jammed on empty, check pump for draining properly..
Select drain only and see if the water comes at a good rate, there are other problems that could the sequence of lights flashing that you are experiencing.
