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.

Thank again. I tested all the 3 Solenoid with a multi meter. They
all read 3.75K. I do not know how much they should read.

If the Solenoid switched are ok, then where the problem lies.
Any help would be appreciated.
