Machine does not seem to be filling properly, then does nothing else.

SOURCE: Machine stops in Rinse & Spin Cycle & leaks water

suspect problem is that water is not draining fast enough so when machine gets to spin there is too much water present which gets thrown up thro thew soap drawer. check the filter. on many hotpoint filter is not obvious. at back, take off bottom panel. you will see a large dia hose going from bottom of machine to pump. undo this hose at the tub end and the filter is inside it. be carefull. if you havn\'t managed to drain, a lot of water will come out. if this doesn\'t work, get back to me if you want

SOURCE: hotpoint few12, machine not filling

the timer, electronic or mechanical is not advancing to the fill contact. if mechanical the cam contact may be burnt. if electronic the gated triac [solid state relay] is burned up [replace]

SOURCE: Hotpoint WD440

On the power pcb panel, there is an eeprom. This gets corrupted and throws the machine into a frenzy. A replacement should include a new pcb and a new eeprom. Only from dealers unfortunately.

Their is a small bowl connected by a see trough plastic pipe leading up to the preshour switch, that you will have to clean out the bowl and disconect the pipe from the presure switch and blow trough this to clean out any droplets of water. Replace then try the machine again, it may fill up again, dont dispair, empty the machine and re-blow trough the hose again with it disconected from the preshure switch. To empty the machine of water place the outlet hose into a bucket 3 or 4 times.

hi on the model before this one the wma series the flashy pre wash light is a faulty water inlet valve these mashines are allmost identical inside so check that,first check that you have the hot/cold pipes on the right way around hope this helps
