Hotpoint wont perform final spin .

Hi. If it will do a spin when you manually select Spin, but skips the final spin at the end of a wash, the most likely issue is not the motor itself. It’s usually something stopping the control from “deciding” conditions are right for final spin.

Before checking anything internal, isolate the machine from the mains.

1. Check for an out-of-balance load issue Try a normal wash with just a few towels or a mixed medium load. If the load is too heavy, too light, or bunched up, the machine may keep redistributing and then end the programme without the final fast spin.

2. Make sure it is fully draining at the end of rinse Even if it seems to drain quickly, the final spin can be cancelled if the pressure system still “thinks” there is water inside. Check the drain hose isn’t pushed too far down the standpipe and that there are no partial restrictions.

3. Suspect the pressure system A common cause is a pressure switch or pressure chamber/air tube issue. If the pressure tube is partially blocked with residue, the machine may wash and drain but fail to recognise it is empty enough for final spin.

4. Check programme options Make sure no reduced-crease, easy-iron, rinse hold, or no-spin option has been selected accidentally.

5. If all the above checks out Then it could be a control board or sensor-related fault. Because it’s only 18 months old, also check whether it is still covered by any retailer or Hotpoint warranty.

I would avoid stripping into electrical parts unless confident. For mains-related diagnosis or internal component testing, best to get a qualified appliance engineer. WhitegoodsHelp AI
