My Hotpoint Aquarius WD440 smells of hot rubber when it is on the M (drying) programme and the clothes come out smelling of rubber. Can you tell me why this is happening. Everything is working fine otherwise

You can buy a liquid product (I got ours in Lidl) that flushes out and cleans the machine. If one application doesn't work try it again. It's just like cleaning out the dishwasher. Worked for us and it was really smelling!

Run the machine with no clothes, only detergent along with washing soda or baking soda, using hot water. Once or twice with this should do it.

The drum on my hoover washing machine is sticking / grinding, can anyone advise what it may be? Thanks

press and hold on off button till the display panel lights up.Then press and hold the on/off button and the start /cancel button together.You will now reset the washing machine settings.And just pick your cycle again

sounds like brushes they can cause a burning smell......as for clothes smell after drying the fan in the heater could be dirty but generally that would mean the heater will not work

Dear friend,

If the appliance is 10 years old or more,it may make sense not to invest any money to fix it!

Happy to assist you,

yes, the dryer is pants im afraid. weve had ours going on 4 years & it has broke down every 6-10months - seriously! the dryer will leave clothes hot & steamy but when hung up for 1/4hr they r dry! _ Hotpoint advised us that he machine is esigned his way - but dont believe a word from their corporate b***hit mouths!

u might have a blockage in the drainpipe. hope it helps. good luck!

This sounds like a faulty pcb and/or inlet valve. see links for prices.

meatballs77 - If you have warranty (the machine is less than 1 year old which yours is) or paid for extended cover then call hotpoint to replace... Hotpoint should be able to fix this - this should be free. call 0870 4422 510

Rememer parts are free up to five years - but there is a £90 callout fee after the first year.(unless you extend the full warranty)

more than likely that your thermostats have blown if you could smell the heater element getting hot then this will be the case m8
