Re: washer will not spin
Normally i would suggest changing motor carbons for hotpoint washers, but my experience is that the WMA motor armature is weaker than the carbons, normally if there is no connection fault a replacement motor is the answer 9 times out of 10, not a job for the amature

If the water is coming in after cycle has finished, then it is 1 of 2 possibilities.
1- A faulty inlet valve, replace it.
2-Water is syphoning back from the sink if it is connected to the sink waste outlet pipe, raise washer outlet hose higher up to solve problem
Hi, Problems with a washing machine not spinning or not draining are often inter related.. If you are having a problem with your top load washer then check out this tip...
Seems like a blockage or maybe pump worn out. Fill machine and take grey outlet pipe on rear of machine. Place this pipe as low as possible into a bowl. If water flows free from this pipe then your pipes are not blocked and most likely you will need to change your pump. Before you try this just put machine onto spin and ensure this will work when machine is almost empty
if it fill with water then stops it is the ellement the machine first fills turns the drum then heats up the thermostat cuts in and the it emptys rinses and spins so if it does not get to temp it will stop or continue to wash forever
Soumds like the water inlet valve is not working. You will have to remove the top of the casing and replace thr inlet valve. If the valve is ok then the trouble will be at the programmer. Usually it is the inlet valve.
that is a possabilty, make sure you have water going to cold valves put test bulb on the wires going to valves it should light] close Ire. that means you have current going to valves] get back to me if you can\t sort it
