Hi
My hotpoint Aquarius Wmf760p washer seems to have developed some timer problems. When we put it on a fast wash the timer starts running down from 43 mins it counts down correctly to 1 min and then continues to wash for a further 20 mins with the timer still registering 1 min remaining, It then enters the rinse cycle and the timer jumps back to 20 mins where it then continues to count down to the end of the rinse and spin cycle. No error code is shown. Any help would be gratefully received.

Hotpoint Aquarius WMF760P stalls at 1 minute then timer jumps during rinse
- The problem
- Hotpoint Aquarius WMF760P on a fast wash counted down from 43 minutes to 1 minute, then continued washing for about 20 minutes while still showing 1 minute remaining. It then entered rinse and the display jumped back to 20 minutes before counting down normally to the end. No fault code was reported.
- Likely cause
- The accepted reply said this symptom can have several causes rather than one confirmed fault. Suggested possibilities were a heating element gone open circuit, pressure system faults or blockages, or loading-related issues. The exact cause was not confirmed.
- What fixed it
- No definitive repair was documented. The accepted advice was to have the machine properly diagnosed by an engineer because this type of timer stall can be difficult to trace.
- Checks to try
- Observed fast wash timer count down from 43 to 1 minute
- Machine continued washing for about 20 minutes while display stayed at 1 minute
- Timer then jumped to 20 minutes during rinse
- No error code shown
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Sticking on the last minute seems to affect a lot of different makes and can be tricky to diagnose. Heating element going open circuit, pressure system faults or blockages or even loading issues are some potential causes. Best get an engineer in really.
