Hotpoint Washer Troubleshooting

If you're looking for help fixing your Hotpoint Washer, look no further! Our comprehensive Hotpoint Washer Troubleshooting guide will explain common issues, provide tips, and show you how to read your model's error codes.

My Hotpoint washing machine is stopping mid cycle
We recommend you check that your cold water supply is on. This is a common cause of your appliance failing to fill on the rinse cycle and will result in your Hotpoint washing machine stopping mid-cycle.
On some newer Hotpoint washing machines this is indicated by using either a tap symbol or a flashing light, to advise there is a water supply issue.
Finally in some cases failure to position the drain hose at the correct height may also lead to problems of your appliance stopping mid-cycle.

My Hotpoint washing machine is noisy and unstable
If your Hotpoint washing machine appears noisy or unstable when using it for the first time it’s possible the installation has not been completed properly.
Please ensure the protective brackets or bolts (used for transportation) have all been removed before using your washing machine. You can keep them should you wish to transport your appliance again in the future.

My Hotpoint washing machine is leaking
As part of the manufacturing process we thoroughly test your washing machine to ensure that it will not leak from any internal components after you have installed it.
Any leaking before or during its first use is most likely due to water still remaining in the washing machine following this testing process.
Further checks can be easily carried out. Firstly, we would recommend checking the fill hose, drain hose and mains plumbing for leaks. Take care to check the fill hose connection to your washing machine and to the mains plumbing (taps) are secure.
It’s also possible for a leak to appear from your detergent dispenser, which can be caused by excessive water pressure or the washing machine has not been levelled properly during installation. You can raise the front of the appliance by adjusting the feet at the front of the machine.
We would also recommend double checking the water supply hose connections (at both ends) as well as checking the drain hose during the pump out process.

There is a smell coming from my Hotpoint washing machine
There are a number of reasons that could cause your washing machine to smell. The most common causes are:
Consistent washing at low temperatures – means that bacteria and undissolved detergents can build up, causing your machine to smell.
We would recommend running your machine at 90 degrees using some biological detergent to help destroy the build up of bacteria and detergents. You can also run a 90 degree service wash monthly using our Limescale which will hygienically clean your machine, and prevent the smell reoccurring.
You should also check if your washing machine drain hose connects to your under sink plumbing. If so, ensure this is clean and free from any blockages.

Why are my wash results poor?
To achieve the perfect wash make sure you select the correct programme, and then add the recommended amount of detergent.
Take care not to overload your Hotpoint washing machine as this will produce poor wash results due to an inability of the appliance to effectively dissolve the detergent.
Try re-washing garments on the correct programme ensuring that an adequate amount of detergent is used.
Check to make sure that the economy or quick wash option (if available) is not being used on heavily soiled items. You may also find that heavily soiled items need a pre-wash cycle beforehand to ensure maximum freshness and the best wash results.

My Hotpoint washing machine will not spin
Your Hotpoint washing machine has an in built feature to prevent it spinning with an unbalanced load.
The appliance will try to redistribute the load to achieve balance, however, if it remains unstable the spin process will be aborted. This will minimise excessive vibration and prolong the life of your machine.
Some Hotpoint washing machine models are fitted with a ‘Final Spin’ indicator light, to advise you that the load is unbalanced.
On other models you may notice the clothes are still soaking when you attempt to remove them from the drum. In this instance, we would recommend removing the clothes, redistributing the load evenly and then reselecting a spin programme.

My Hotpoint washing machine is taking too long
Modern washing machine are designed to use less water, which means the appliance launders the clothes more – resulting in longer wash cycles.
It is also possible that the load detection system has detected an imbalanced wash load, the machine will then attempt to correct this by redistributing the load during the wash cycle.
We recommend you wash large and small items together to prevent this issue occurring. All of our latest Hotpoint washing machine are designed to give optimum wash results whilst also reducing the impact on the environment by using the minimum required amount of water and energy.

As appliances get more complex, I find that they tend to also get more prob

As appliances get more complex, I find that they tend to also get more problematic. Since the cost of a repairman can easily run close to the cost of a new basic appliance, I find it more economical to do without the bells, whistles, and buzzers and buy a reasonably priced washer or dryer that gets good ratings and meets my needs. I purchased this Hotpoint washer at a local big box store and since the controls are quite basic, four load levels and the usual three combinations of water/rinse temperatures, there was no need to read the instruction booklet and I just proceeded to finish the laundry left over when my last basic machine died after six years. It has a nice size capacity as well as the expected bleach dispenser and a power rinse cycle for use with fabric softener. One thing that did surprise and please me was how quiet this machine runs. It does a nice job with getting clothes clean, with cycles for whites, permanent press, colors and light or heavy time choices for each of those.

I've had it for about a week. It does a good job of washing and leaves

I've had it for about a week. It does a good job of washing and leaves the clothes ready for the dryer. I find it makes a loud swooshing sound when in washing mode. I previous washer that died after eight years was a Whirlpool.. I loved it and it made very little noise. We bought the extra warranty just in case. I hope I get used to the annoying noise.

I normally don't spend time doing reviews but the washing machine thin

I normally don't spend time doing reviews but the washing machine thing became a very sore topic around our house. We used Consumer Reports to guide us (normally they have been good to us in the past) and purchased an expensive, highly recommended, water and energy efficient machine. Within a few months all our towels and cotton clothing were smelling like mold. We tried cleaning with clorox, vinegar, and a number of other tricks. It got so bad, we gave the machine away after a year. We replaced with another fancy, recommended, high efficiency machine. After another year of suffering with the same problem we also got rid of that machine. We went online and saw that many other people were having the same problem, and there are now class action suits against the manufacturers of those machines. Which brings us to this inexpensive, ugly little white box of a washing machine. It is so simple to use, it makes me laugh--it's like the machine my mom used when I was a kid. It won't sing a nifty tune when the clothes are done, and it doesn't have any USB ports or a cappucino maker. But our clothes finally smell clean and fresh. It has worked great for us for the past three months, and we do several loads a day. Saving water and electricity is great, but you know what's even better? Clothes that don't stink the second you put them on! Buyer beware on those fancy chrome machines.

I just used this washer and I absolutely found a gem. The old washer (9 yea

I just used this washer and I absolutely found a gem. The old washer (9 years old) was flooding my floor. So I started some research. I had a list of what I was looking for: 3.5cuft or larger (this is 3.7), top loader, full agitator, must not require HE detergent (irritates my skin), manual water level setting (no automatic sensing), no limit set on hot temperature (must use 115-120F water), must have second rinse, no "cycles" overload, no automatic load balancing (uses too much water and TIME0, must allow for soaking (no auto drain if lid left open over 10 minutes), no lid lock (can add more stuff on the fly). So this Hotpoint came right to the front of the line — hit every requirement. Reaction after hours of joyful use: the machine is orders of magnitude quieter, the spin cycle is really high speed and extracts much more water than the replaced washer and the wash is quick with very clean clothes thanks to the two speed agitator. Some pleasant surprises: during the rinse fill cycle, the agitator pulses to move the clothes around as fresh water enters, spin drying starts slowly and in three steps get to the max (quietly, too). No delicate cycle, but the permanent-press cycle uses gentle cycling (pulses and slower spin speed). Every washer setting worked exactly as expected: hot water, full tub, soak, two rinses. No whistles, no PhD degree for operation settings. Just set a three dials and wait for the clean clothes. Full disclosure: I do not work for Hotpoint or GE. I design computers and did not want one for a washer (ok, there are internal electronic controls, but I think you know what I mean).
