Hi all,

My washing machine spins and all that but the water suddenly stop
entering.

How to find out whether the Solenoid Switch is kaput or it is not
getting current from the programmer or some thing else.
One of the most common faults on Hotpoint machines is water valve
solenoid coils going open circuit. You can check this with a simple
multimeter.

I'f you replace the whole valve, there may be black pressure reducers in
the outlets which may need to be fitted to the new valves.

Thanks for your help. There are just 2 Solenoid switches in one, and
there is another switch beside it. Is that what you mean. Or the
pressure reducer has to be bought separately.

If it`s a hot and cold fill, there will be two separate valves, the cold
is usually a twin with two coils, one side is for the cold fill and the
other is for the last rinse/conditioner fill. The pressure reducers are
little black 'barrels' pushed down the output spout of the valve - yours
may not have any. They can only easily be removed by sawing off the
output spout of the old valve and pushing them out with a blunt rod. You
can buy them from Hotpoint or maybe a decent repair shop will have some.
When you fit the pressure reducers push them as far in as they go or
they may blow out into the rubber hose and cause it to blow off the valve.

The cold valve is often white and hot is red btw.
