Sounds like the drivebelt or the motor. Any error codes?

If the drum is turning then its most likely the tacho on the back of the motor or the wires connecting the tacho to the control panel. So the motor is turning but the panel can't control the speed so will switch off straight away.
If the drum doesnt turn but you hear the motor kick, then the drum belt is broken...

Sounds like a tacho fault. Could be you have a broken wire on the motor circuit. Tilt the machine back and take a look underneath at the wires leading to the motor. This is just to give you an idea if it is a broken wire, you shouln't try to repair it like this, you would need to remove the front panel to allow yourself enough space to affect a repair. For a workshop manual on the WMA66 which would give additional help and advice on dismantling and rebuilding as well as fault finding click on the link.

Remove the belt, and spin drum by hand from inside, there should be little or no noise, if there is then it is possible the drum bearings are failing.
I f no noise, but there is when you put belt back on, then possibly bearing in motor noisy

This is joyce\
Push the pause cancle button at the same time 2 times or unplug and let stay unpluged for 1 min
this should do it. or if this does not work for your machine go to hotpoint.com and download codes and this should tell you how to unlock your machine or what the problem is.
thanks
joyce

Sounds like the PCB is Freaking out. All you can do is Check all the connections between the Main board and Display board and if you still have the problem - then i'm afraid it is probably the Main Board gone Faulty.

poss blown control board due to motor,heater,interlock or leak if under warranty call them in. There are too many possibilities to explain them all but alot of the time there are wires that rub on the concrete weight, tilt the machine back and look undernerth near the weight UNPLUG THE MACHINE before working on appliance, if the fault is there you could make good the wires
