Won’t drain
A blocked filter, drain hose or a worn drain pump.
Hotpoint washers, tumble dryers, fridge freezers and ovens are common in homes that brought appliances from the UK. We repair them with genuine parts. (Looking for Von? It has its own page.)
Pick your Hotpoint appliance. Tell us what it’s doing and we’ll usually know the likely cause before we arrive.
A blocked filter, drain hose or a worn drain pump.
Hotpoint shows faults with flashing lights or an F-code. Tell us the pattern and we’ll know where to start.
Water left in the drum, or a code like 5C, OE or E18. Usually a blocked filter, hose or a worn drain pump.
A blown thermal fuse, a failed heater or a thermostat. A blocked vent or filter often caused the fuse to blow, so we clear that too.
Worn drum bearings, felt seals, the belt or the idler pulley. We replace the worn part before it damages the motor.
A blown thermal fuse, failed heater or thermostat.
A failed thermostat or fan, a defrost fault or a slow gas leak.
Low gas from a leak, dusty condenser coils, a failed fan, thermostat or start relay.
We find and fix the leak first, then pull a vacuum and refill with the right gas for your fridge.
The fan element or fan motor has failed.
A burnt-out element, thermostat or selector switch. On gas ovens, the igniter or valve.
A failed fan motor or fan element, or a thermostat reading the wrong temperature.
Water left in the bottom from a blocked filter, drain hose or pump.
Worn door seals, a split sump or a loose hose. Many models stop with a flood code.
Blocked spray arms, a clogged filter or a weak circulation pump.
If a Hotpoint tumble dryer squeaks and smells hot, stop using it. A seized idler pulley can snap the belt and damage the motor.

Yes. We replace heaters, thermal fuses, belts, pulleys and bearings on Hotpoint condenser and vented dryers, and clear the vents that cause most failures.
No. Hotpoint is a UK brand; Von is the Kenyan brand sold by Hotpoint Appliances. We repair both, and each has its own page on our site.
The diagnosis is free. The technician finds the fault on your Hotpoint washing machine, tells you the full price for parts and labour, and nothing starts until you approve it.
Most bookings in Nairobi and Kiambu get a same-day visit. Common Hotpoint parts travel in the van, so many repairs are finished on the first visit.
We fit genuine Hotpoint parts wherever they are available and tell you clearly when only a compatible part exists. Every repair carries our warranty.
No. HomeFixit is an independent repair company and is not affiliated with Hotpoint. If your Hotpoint appliance is still under the manufacturer’s warranty, contact the seller first; once it is out of warranty, we can help.
