It sounds as if a bearing seal was defective when it left the factory and is allowing lubricant to bleed out; I would consider this a warranty item and if the company doesn't care to make it right, file a complaint with the local BBB relating to the dealer where you bought it and nationally against the company itself.
Maybe they don't want this stain on their reputation but this is another reason to avoid US manufacturers.

Hello,It's fairly straight forward,not easy though.The facial comes off(take the dispenser out and remove the four screws), front of the machine comes off (3 screws at the bottom and 3 behind the facial,the outer tub front comes off.)The pulley on the rear comes off,the inner drum can be knocked through.This gives you access to the bearings and bearing seal,not the easiest to get out.A lot of the time the outer race is left behind from the front bearing and it's a nightmare to get out.Hotpoint use a special bearing tool,get yourself a spider and bearing kit as well as a new tub seal.
Thanks

These machines have a max load system, please try it empty, and tell me if it still has the problem.

Usually an indication that something is caught in the pump inlet. You will have to remove the hoses and see if its a sock or some other small treasure..

Check the machine water entry inlet point. Un screw the the big knob. You will find the filter inside submerged into the small pipe.

1. 1 A washing machine won't spin if the water can't drain. Check hoses for any kinks or clogs that may prevent the water from draining. If a hose has kinks, try to straighten out the kinked hose. If it can't be straighten sufficiently, replace the hose. If hoses are not kinked, check for clogged hoses. This can be done by using the screwdrivers to remove the hoses and looking for clogs or running a water hose through the clogged hose to remove the clog. Use the rags and bucket to clean up the water that comes out of the hoses when they are disconnected. Once the clog is cleared, put the drain hose back into place. The washer should drain and spin now if a clogged or kinked hose was the problem.
   
2. 2 If the washer still won't drain or spin, check to see if the lid is not closing all the way or if the lid switch is not clicking into place. Close the lid and make sure that it closes all the way down. When the lid closes, the lid switch should click. If there is no clicking sound, then the switch may need to be replaced. Follow manufacturer's directions for replacing the switch. If the lid does not close all the way, visually check for signs that the lid is bent. If bent, try to bend it back into place.
   
3. 3 Loose or broken belts could also prevent a washing machine from draining or spinning. Pull the washer away from the wall and, using the screwdrivers and wrenches, remove the back panel. Using the flashlight, visually check for any broken or loose belts. Replace any broken or loose belts. Although replacing washing machine belts is difficult, anyone who has replaced belts on a car, lawn mower or even a bicycle chain should be able to accomplish the task.
   
4. 4 Another possibility for a washing machine to not spin or drain is the pump. With the back panel still off the washer, check the pump with the voltmeter to ensure that the pump is getting power. If the washer is getting power, turn on the washer and listen to find out if the pump is running but the water is still not draining. It may be necessary to remove the pump and clean it or to replace the pump with a new one. Once the pump is replaced, turn on the washer to determine if it will now drain and spin.
   
5. 5 If all of the above steps fail to produce a washing machine that drains or spins, then it is time to call a professional repairman. Use the screwdrivers and wrenches to replace the panel on the washer and push it back against the wall.
   

Tricky one there. Anyway, best way to tackle that is to locate the heating element and remove it. The bra cup spring normally locates itself against the element. Look in the element cavity with a torch and you will normally find it while slowly turning the drum. Use a long type of extraction pliers and remove.

This can be replaced provided the fixing points are o/k and not broken as some times happens

Hiya,
some machines have a filter at the front of the machine it will be right down the bottom behind the trim this trim normally just pulls to open & if so you will see a small circle if you unscrew that some water will come out & if blocked will have some stuff in that you can remove,

Hope this helps

Hi Friend,
welcome to fixya....
may be the drum belt is the fault, Here are some possible causes of a washing machine belt coming off :-


1.The drum pulley is loose

2.The drum bearings have gone (collapsed) causing the drum pulley to wobble
3.The drive belt was to slack
4.A motor fixing bolt or bracket securing the motor to the tub has broken or come loose
5.Water has got onto the belt causing slippage
6.An obstruction or item of clothing temporarily jammed the drum causing the belt to spin off ,,,,,,,,,,,,

first check whether it is hard to turn the drum if not then check the above situations,,,ok
