Check first the thermal fuse.

Test heating element to ensure is not grounded, and staying always on. Test the fan and ventilation system.

If you find no fault in there , then test the timer control board.

Enter the model number on one of two websites below to get parts and diagrams for your appliance:

SOURCE: my hotpoint aquarius wd440 has flashing lights

First of all try cleaning the filter inside the back as described by others if this does not work there is a filter in the top. how you clean this is quite easy. all you do is remove the top of the machine by undoing the 2 screws at the back then pull top top backwards when you have removed the top you well see a large metal casing on the left if you are looking from the the back of the machine the filter is in there to remove the casing you pull the small pipe off then undo 5 star headed screws then gently pull the casing off noteing that there is a large pipe at the front when you have remover the casing you will see the filter (the small pipe you removed at the start fits on this filter) clean the filter then put it all back together.

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.

WMA 54 Hotpoint Aquarius washing machine lights flashing

the problem here is the machine is not emptying when its supposed to, you will find it is stopping at the rinse cycles. there is a sump underneath the machine that needs to be emptied. From my experiences, 9 out of 10 hotpoints that i would of repaired with the same problem as you are having is usualy caused by using the color catcher sheets, they are a disaster.

My 13 year old wma58 makes a lot of noise on spin rinse

To be certain if it is the main bearings, remove the lower rear panel of washer, remove belt, and spin drum from the front.
If it feels rough or is rumbling, then the bearings have failed..
If no noise from drum then it could be noisy motor bearings.
At that age, it certainly would not be cost effective either way.
Hope this helps.

HOTPOINT AQUARIUS WF 250 ON/OFF LIGHTS FLASHING

The lights are set off by the balance sensors.And if your balance sensors are  stopping    it from spinning than you first have to make sure the washer is level.You  could have bad Shocks and a bad electronic control board,.

Hoypoint WMA58 won't empty

As you have probably found out, hotpoint washing machines do not have any customer accessible pump filters...

If you want to get on and fix this yourself you will need to get machine out and tip it up. have a look underneath. You will need tools etc.

1. Firstly check the power is off / disconnected.

**Next double check the power is off / disconnected.**

2. Check for obstructions inside the sump hose leading to the water pump. These machines have a filter/flap located in the sump hose which can get jammed up. See link http://www.4hotpoint.co.uk/cgi-bin/product.pl?PID=636775&brand=&model=WMA58&part=sump

3. My bet is that the pump itself is faulty. Check visually for blockages inside it - (do not dismantly)
For a replacement see the following for info on the pump. http://www.4hotpoint.co.uk/cgi-bin/product.pl?PID=640428&brand=&model=WMA58&part=pump

4. Finally I have heard of hotpoint wma's failing to pump water because the heater element is faulty -because water temp never reaches correct heat so programme halts.- but I cannot confirm this. To prove this put your machine on Final Spin - the first thing it does is empty the machine - no heating...
if it does then its probably the heater.

Regards

And don't forget to rate; thanks!

Hotpoint WMA58 Washer won't do proper final spin

Thridly the motor itself ....This is the most common remedy to this problem.
