Fills with water, but no pump activity. Sounds like the pump is jammed / ?
as there is a repeating brief hum during which the lights dim slightly(!)
then nothing then brief hum again.

After about 10mins of this the pre-wash and wash LEDS start blinking
together at about a 1hz frequency.

Have checked the filters, which are clean, if the pump is jammed- not sure
how it could get so!

Any ideas before I call Hotpoint....

*update* pump is not stuck - there is a cunning screwdriver slot in the
shaft accessed thro a hole in the tin work. "Enginneer" coming in the
morning! *touches wood*

Engineer called, inspected and metered wash pump. Diagnosis- pump shorted to
earth. Funny it didnt blow the house RCD's though.

Have to don marigolds until next week whilst new pump is shipped
