£6 ?

You dont need a manual for the strip down, youtube has videos for drum removal and once that is out there is bugger all left.

The programmer on my hotpoint was messing about, causing all kinds of weird behaviour. I popped the switch controller off with a flat knife and gave it a good dose of WD40, jiggled it around a few times and it's good as gold now.

Looks like it would be worth a punt

Just take it apart!  What can possibly go wrong......

Electronic programmers on these, there pretty much trouble free to.

I cant see that you need a manual, its a washing machine, not an overly complex device in reality and if you can find how to pop the front off and even remove the drum assembly (all available for no cost) then its plain sailing.

Have you fixed it?

I might have a few spare parts 

[Matchless]

Small pipe that leads to the water level sensor blocked with soap etc?
Pull it off the sensor / switch and blow through it to check it is clear.

If m/c 'thinks' it still has water in the drum it wont go onto the fast spin.

That or motor brushes - never understood the many and varied faults that worn brushes threw up but I used to keep a spare motor under the kitchen cupboards for a rapid change over.
Oh, and dont just fit new brushes to these without cleaning out the old carbon dust first, if you leave the dust in there they flash-over and kill the speed controller board.

Hang on.... this is an ancient thread, surely TB isn't still trapped under his Hotpoint is he?

Well if he is, he's been under there for nearly 2 years.  didn't think Hotpoints lasted that long.

<panto mode> Oh yes they do
(if you change the brushes, the bearings, the brushes again, the drum dampers, the brushes again, the bearings again, the door seal, the bearings again (this time use epoxy metal to stick them in because corrosion has eaten the housing), the brushes again.....)

You forgot about the plastic door handle.

Yes. But something else then failed a few months ago, so my plasma cutter fixed it properly, and the council just thought the wheelie bin was heavy

Couldn't you have used the steel to make arches for the bullet?!!!!!!
