General Comments
After 18 months, the pump on my Hotpoint Aqualtis AQXXF149 stopped and it look a very reliable local repair company a long time to source the new part.
Three months later, the whole thing has conked out after behaving erratically, refusing to switch off, putting the child lock on itself, etc.
Reading the other postings, having tried a selection of different wash cycles, detergents and fabric conditioners, I have now finally worked out what the mildew smell is!
