Hotpoint Aquarius aqd1170d 697e keeps draining water when trying to fill but water pump isn't pumping out.
Hi Andy! I've contacted you twice previously about my machine that won't finish a wash cycle.
I've now noticed something else, when put on a wash cycle the water is draining out but the water pump isn't energised/pumping out. I know this as the water pump isn't making the usual noise.
Could this be a faulty solenoid valve at all?
I will leave you alone eventually
Thankyou!
