Hotpoint aquarius Hi machine stuck on rinse hold and mini wash with lights flashing as well as the on/off switch. Start /cancel button will not let me change programme. Brenda

remove drain hose and empty into a bucket or bowel this will take a few goes than restart on rinse cycle if no joy repeat

f05 error pump failure-remove sump from under drum -proberbly find clogged up

check pump/filter/outlet hose for blockages. if ok, check pressure switch (disc shaped item at top of machine with 4? wires and a tube) by blowing into it gently - should hear clicks, then blow into tube to pressure chamber - should be clear.

Most models have a timer relay that times out when a cycle is over. It may be located behaind the front panel - It's worth a shot

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

Unplug the machine from the wall for 5 minutes, then plug it back in and try it again. If the lights come back, the control board needs to be replaced.

Hi ya, just a quick suggestion, have you cleaned the filter on the front of your machine?? My machine did this and it was only when i cleaned the fluff and the 5 pence pieces from this filter it stopped, Hope it helps

The lights are set off by the balance sensors.And if your balance sensors are  stopping    it from spinning than you first have to make sure the washer is level.You  could have bad Shocks and a bad electronic control board,.                                    

This works

To exit the TEST mode, press and hold down the "Start/Cancel" button until ALL of the console lights light up. Press both "Start/Cancel" and On/Off buttons simultaneously until " dOFF " appears in the display. The default setting will now appear and the machine can be used normally.

The water level vacuum switch are not working , check hose might lose.
