Hotpoint Aquarius WMA34 not progressing through wash cycle
Starts normal wash programme and when it gets to rinse and spin it stops, pre wash light comes on, if I press the start button it will then progress to rinse and spin, but once it has done this it stops again and I have to turn the dial to fast spin and press start again to get it to do a final spin.
I also have the same problem only when I turn it to the spin manuelly it still will not spin. I was going to but a new timer switvh unit but at between £70 and £90 want to be fairly sure that will solve the problem. If it worked when I manually turned it to each position I would be sure it was that but as it still does not spin I wondered what people thought

Turn off the appliance at the mains, hold on & start buttons down then turn back on at mains and hold until dOFF appears should now be back the normal.
Sounds like it could be relatively expensive to put right.
Personally, I think you would be better in investing in a new washer, more so in view of the fact that is 7 years old.
There are numerous possibilities for the symptoms you describe.
Hope this helps you to come to a decision.

It has a wide variety of wash programmes for white cotton, colourfast cotton, polyester, non-colourfast cotton, wool blends and wool itself. These standard programmes take from an hour and a quarter to three-quarters of an hour to complete. There is also a quick wash programme lasting just under half an hour for lightly soiled items and a pre wash soak for heavily soiled items.
The machine has four buttons providing extra facilities that can be set independently of the main wash programmes to give you a more comprehensive range of settings. There is a rinse hold button, which I find extremely useful. When set this holds the clothes in the final rinse water until you are ready to unload the machine. You then release the button, let the machine go through the final spin and then you can unload the machine. It means that you don’t leave damp washing in the machine for the time between the cycle finishing and you unloading the machine, which would make for very creased clothes.
There is also a button to depress if you want to use the super rinse facility. This merely increases the volume of water in each rinse so that the clothes are rinsed more fully. I have never used this particular facility, as the ordinary rinses are fine for my needs. The next button allows for a slow spin. I find that this one is really useful for the items that I need to iron as it means that they don’t come out of the washing machine as creased as they normally would on a faster spin. The only problem with this is of course that the clothes are not as dry as they would otherwise have been.
The final button is used to set the economy wash feature. This means that the washing machine’s own heating system is not used and the wash is done with the water at the temperature entering the machine from your hot and cold water tanks. This of course means a cooler wash so it’s only suitable for lightly soiled items. The door remains locked during the wash programmes so that it cannot be opened accidentally and it can be locked when not in use too if you have small children who might get into mischief!
The other big selling point for this particular model is that it gauges the size of the load and uses the correct amount of water needed eliminating the need for the half-wash programme. This also means that it is both water and energy efficient
there is a small access panel in all front loaders. there is probably a coin stuck in the compartment. this will stop the water pump operation correctly
