Hotpoint wf250 drum wont spin

The fast wash cycle is for a reduced capacity load of approximately 3kg , it does not pump or spin long enough for a full capacity load

Hi.
A noisy spin cycle is usually because the bearings are rumbling and/or collapsed.
Unfortunately this is not a simple job and would require a service call and probably a workshop.
Good luck.

Could be a blocked pump or outlet hose, remove the hose and lay it down to floor level to drain off water, then remove lower rear cover of washer, and remove the hose from the pump, see if it nis blocked, couls also be a faulty pump.

What you need to do is check the pump is getting a feed to it
Select a spin cycle, and with a test meter, test for voltage across the pump terminals, if you are getting a feed, and the pump is working ok, then you obviously have a blockage beyond the pump.
If no voltage then could be a broken wire, or a faulty programmer/board.
ONLY CHECK FOR VOLTAGE IF YOU ARE COMPETENT TO DO SO, as it takes no prisoners.
Hope this helps.

Hi,

I've just had this exact same problem. Can you tell me if you have had any success with fixing it please?

Thanks!

no easy way to get water out but try putting drain hose down at floor level into a bucket and that may work
fault is probably filter blocked.
to access filter, take rear back panel off. you will see a large diameter hose going from bottom of tub to pump. disconnect this hose at tub end - carefull, water will come out. filter is inside this hose. take it out, clean and reassemble

hold the start button for 5 seconds this should clear previous program. then select drain on your dial. press start as normal and machine will drain. if this does not work the only other remedy is with help, making sure the end of the drain hose is higher than drum at all times take machine outside, lean it back at 45 degrees agaist a wall with a towel or similar covering lid to stop scratching . working from underneath loosen the large jubillee clip that connects the drum to pump drain hose to the drum. As the drum is overfull there is no recepticle large enough to fit under so just let water just flow away. Dry every thing off. make sure you don't loose ping pong ball in filter and make sure filter is clear. refitting is reverse of removal

two possible causes motor commutator is damaged thats the bit the brushes sit on.put your finger on the commutator turn slowly and feel for raised segments or damage if there are any then this is you problem. if that is ok check you brushes have a good length and can make contact. if this is ok then check you card for damage.the filling/water level problem could be due to the limit switch pipework blockage at the base thats the small plastic pipe usual blocked into drum very common in old machines. hope this helps

pump is working water is only a trickle coming out so wont final spin

This sounds like a faulty pcb and/or inlet valve. see links for prices.
