Troubleshooting - Hotpoint WMT05 Installation And User Instructions Manual

In the unlikely event that you have problems with your machine, the following guide
may help you to get your machine working correctly straight away...
The machine will not start...
Close the door. Check that the
machine has power. Choose a
programme and press the
'START/HOLD TO RESET' button. If
after two seconds the 'DOOR LOCKED'
indicator light is not lit, check to see:
i) If the machine is plugged in and
switched 'ON'.
ii) If the socket is OK. Try another
appliance in the socket to check.
iii) If the fuse in the machine plug is
OK. If not, replace it, see 'Connect
your machine to the electrical
supply' (see section: INSTALLING
YOUR MACHINE).
The 'DOOR LOCKED' indicator light is
flashing...
Shut the door firmly, until it clicks.
The 'DOOR LOCKED' indicator light
should now stay on.
The 'PROG. END' indicator light is
flashing...
This means that either:
i) The programme is paused, press
and release the 'START/HOLD TO
RESET' button to start it again or
press and hold the 'START/HOLD
TO RESET' button to cancel.
ii) The machine cannot fill. Check
that the water supply is turned on
and that the inlet hoses are not
kinked.
The door will not open...
Has the programme finished? Is the
'PROG. END' indicator light lit? The
door will not open until the 'DOOR
LOCKED' indicator light has gone out.
The 'DOOR LOCKED' indicator light
will go out about two minutes after
the programme has finished.
There is still water in the machine.
Go through all the points in the
section,'The machine will not pump
out water...'

Troubleshooting...

The machine is leaking...
Check the fill hoses have been
tightened at both ends? If not, tighten
them.
Are the fill hoses tightly fitted yet still
leaking? If so, replace the rubber
washers.
Is the standpipe or household drain
blocked? You will need to call a
plumber if you cannot clear the
blockage.
The machine will not pump out the
water...
Make sure that there is no blockage in
the drain hose and that it is not
kinked.
Is the drain hose installed correctly?
If you have connected your machine
to a sink waste system, make sure that
you have cut out the membrane from
the under sink drainage system.
(see section: INSTALLING YOUR
MACHINE).
Ensure that the drainage system,
standpipe or under sink connection is
free from any blockage.
- If any of the above are found to be
the cause of your problem you will
need to run the machine through a
spin only programme.
(Models WMT02, WMT03 and WMT05
only):
If you have chosen 'RINSE HOLD', the
light will flash until you press the
'RINSE HOLD' button to continue the
programme.
The programme takes a long time...
Some programmes do take a long
time. Things which can lengthen the
programme time include low
temperature and low pressure of the
incoming hot water supply, or low cold
water pressure.
