Do yourself a favour, do not buy this washing machine. It is not a Hotpoint but a rebadged Indesit. Save up your money and buy a Bosch or a Miele or a Smeg. The construction of this machine is woeful, with many design faults. Most common fault is the failure of either or both of the two PCB''s. One in the door which controls the switches, and the main PCB in the base which controls the machine. Hotpoint will charge you the cost of a new machine for replacing either PCB when ( Not if) they fail. Usually the door switch PCB fails first due to the PCB not being sealed against condensation from the drying cycle. The main PCB will fail shortly afterwards.
