Hotpoint Smart Tec Washing Machine Clicking

Asked over 4 years ago 8,840 views

Only clicks on one programme; number 9. This is the most used programme, we hardly use any other. The clicking is on the right and its like a loud clock noise.

I stopped the programme, drained and started again on number 10; all ok. I tried number 1 for a bit too; no clicking either.

Any ideas gratefully received.

Is it an old-style mechanical controller?

Sorry, I don't know what that is. It is 3x years old. Thanks

Do you select a cycle with a mechanical controller and can feel cogs and switches clicking when you turn it, or is it all electronic?

It's just that it sounds like a mechanical thing sticking.

the clicking isn't the actual door lock actuating could it be?

Quite possibly Andy. I assumed it was from the controller on the right but that could be a wrong assumption. If it is coming from the door lock though a lot of people have told me they replaced the door lock and it was just the same.
