If your washer isn’t draining properly, the cause could be a clogged or twisted drain hose, or a malfunctioning pump. Inspect the drain hose for any blockages or bends. If the hose is clear, check the drain pump for any damage or obstructions. Cleaning the pump filter may also help.

Spin cycle problems are often caused by an unbalanced load or worn components. Try redistributing the clothes evenly within the drum to balance the load. If the issue continues, examine the drive belt, motor coupler, and lid switch for wear. These parts may need repair or replacement.

Loud or strange noises can be caused by foreign objects, such as coins or buttons, in the drum. Excessive noise may also stem from worn-out bearings or loose parts. Check the drum bearings and tighten any loose components. If needed, replace the damaged parts to eliminate the noise.

Leaks are typically caused by damaged hoses, a faulty door seal, or a malfunctioning pump. Inspect the hoses for cracks or loose connections, and make sure they are securely connected. Check the door seal for damage and replace it if necessary. If leaks persist, inspect the pump for blockages or damage.

If your washer doesn’t start, ensure it’s properly plugged in and that the power supply is functional. Verify that the circuit breaker is not tripped. Also, confirm that the door latch is working properly, as a faulty latch may prevent the washer from starting. If these steps don’t resolve the issue, inspect the control panel and timer.

If troubleshooting doesn’t fix the issue, contact a professional Hotpoint washer repair technician for further assistance.
