Sounds like the Drum Bearings are gone they are **** on Hotpoint..Could be quite expensive depending on age...3 years old you will need a half drum complete with Bearings approx cost £80 plus labour....if more than 4 yrs old then perhaps bearing kit plus 3 hrs labour....Hotpoint give a FREE 5 yrs parts warranty however CALL CHARGE....£105 approx parts are free.....You need to ecide if you should fix or just buy a new one........
More than likely the main drum bearings have failed.
From the front of the washer, spin the drum by hand, and if it feels rough, or is rumbling or grating, then the bearings have failed.
The bearings of the basket, are damage, maybe due to water leaking and getting rusted, or maybe the shocks are also wearing off. expensive fix on the drum basket.
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.
Check to see if you can turn drum by hand, if you can, then prob could be belt, or motor not turning under load, check brushes in motor.
Please rate my solution.
thanks.
pull your washer out. put near door if poss then put the waste pipe down to floor level to empty the water. if there is to much water in the drum it will not spin try your pump
I ve come across this problem many a time... my job is recondtioning these models of machines for the last 3 years..
This problem has three solutions..
the first one is the control board,, very unlikey but has been known,
secondly the wiring loom unlikey but has happend.
Thridly the motor itself ....This is the most common remedy to this problem.
