    After hearing a very loud bang after an even noisier spin than normal, then it dying on me yet again, have decided to stop throwing money at this machine. Have had a new motherboard, back of the drum replaced, and motor repaired and only had it two years, and yes, all problems after the guarantee ran out. We had another make previously and that machine lasted for 9 years and we only ever spent £40 on repairs, so going back to that make now.

    We have had our hotpoint aquarius wf541p for just over two years, and until now we have not had problems with it, and its only broken know because i left coins in my trouser pocket and it made a hole in the plastic drum liner,., i have just stripped it down myself and found it preaty straight forward to dismantle, i have looked at spares sites for a replacement drum and can get one for £90 all in, (hotpointparts4u), so it should be ok for another year or so.

    just read all the reviews about the Hotpoint WF541 Aquarius and we've had every one of the faults mentioned!!

    first one we had had to be replaced with the same model. next one has been just as bad!

    i only turned the computer on tonight searching for spares as it has just blown a beer mat size hole in the drum outer skin!!

    Hot point, cold product!
    After a 13 months water was pouring from the drum,we were just out of our guarantee hence no replacement!
    After removing the back of the washer,and a few other items I was able to PLUG the hole in the drum with liquid metal! (No more leaks)
    I have had to clean the sump two times which has in the past resulted in solving water removal.
    Wait for it, we now have all our red lights flashing just like captain kirks control panel,with a drum full of water,it looks like we are ...

    The Hotpoint WF541 Aquarius does a fair job of washing clothes though can smell still quite damp at times. Not the quitest of machines either so dont put it on if you want some sleep!
    Major fault also with electrics - flashing lights and electric shocks from the outer frame!
    You have to turn off at mains and on again to clear the flashing lights.
    No engineer out though as would cost too much due to Hotpoint's rip off charges.

    It's quick and easy to use with lots of programs to suit every day needs with variable temperature and spin speed. It also has the following buttons - mini load which is a half load option, a extra rinse, rinse hold, reduced creases which gives a more gentle wash and spin action and finally a wash enhance which is used for a more intensive wash i.e dirty or heavy soiled clothes.

    I found it just a little noisy when spinning but overall not too bad and could of done with a time indicator which le ...

    When it works, it does the business well. Have had engineers in 8 times over the 19 months I have had this product. Pumps, drum all changed, module changed 4 times, still having issues with the 2nd and 4th flashing lights despite clearing out my filter several times.
    Next product WILL NOT be a Hotpoint. Extended warranty a must otherwise it will cost you dearly

    What an awful product this Hotpoint WF541 Aquarius is. Apparent poor build quality.
    Will never ever purchase a hotpoint item again - Sorry guys but don't expect to shell out over £250 in repair fees for a product that is four years old. Not a happy bunny.


    Lets hope my new Miele performs better!!

    Disappointed with my Hotpoint WF541 Aquarius in that now my electricity trips when I switch it on due to a filter pump problem. I am unable to unscrew the cap and that I have to pay out after 18 months of usage.

    Mine broke just over 3 months which meant I cant have my money back to buy a decent machine. The drum has gone and I only used the machine twice a week for 3 months. The banging got louder and louder on the spin setting then the drum failed and water escaped out of the bottom of the machine flooding my kitchen. Not happy with lack of timescales for repair - I was told some parts can take 2 days and others months?

    Just had my new HotpoinHotpoint WF541 Aquariust fitted. Took ages deciding which machine to buy. I was really pleased with it until I did a wash!! It is so noisy, the wash cycle isn't bad, but the rinsing and spinning cycles are unbearable, never had a machine so loud before. I would not recommend it to anyone. I wish I hadn't bought it!
