Hotpoint WMA76

Good machine to use.

HOWEVER: Various call outs in 3.5 years.

Replaced: Door catch, seal, new circuit boards, drum.

This weeks disaster and final burial: Machine caught fire and went up in puff of smoke.

This is the 3rd machine I,ve tried. Only gone back because people said I just been unlucky.

NO WAY! Maybe two unlucky but third got to be Hoptpoint.

When I purchased this machine cost me around £400 etc. Not cheap.

Not going back to Hotpoint now. Stay clear

Hotpoint are very noisy machines. If I did put in on in evening - won't beable to sleep.

RE HOTPOINT WMA76S I have had this washing machine for just over 5 years and all ive had with it is constant aggro!!! i hate it!! all the problems starting within days of the warranty running so i took out the exended insurance thankfully i did!

When i called the first engineer out he reapaired but it needed a full overhaul new top and bottom weights new drum etc etc

The engineer then told me that these machines actually had a fault with them when they were being manufactured but hotpoint failed to reall over 250 machines so hey were all sold to the likes of me.

I refuse to buy a new one as i have complained time and again of what that engineer had told me but they denied the whole thing and im lead to believe that the poor man lost his job.

It has no broken down again and another engineer is due on tuesday. Lets just hope that now my insurance finally issue me with a new machine. could it be 21st time lucky because thats how many times they have been out to me over the past few years.

We bought the Hotpoint WML520 just over a year ago and it worked perfectly until about a month ago when the first paddle broke. Thinking ahead, we ordered 3 new paddles online and when they arrived, the other two broke after 2 more loads.

3 more loads later, one of the NEW paddles, ONE DAY OLD is wobbly.

Never again.

The drum paddles on the inside of the Hotpoint WMA76 break off and shred your clothes to bits! - I inherited this machine in the fitted kitchen of the house we bought a year and a half ago and after replacing no less than 5 paddles to date, and having had countless clothes ruined I've given up and have bought a different brand machine.

I have had this Hotpoint WMA76 washing machine for nearly 5 years now and never had a problem with it, its so flexible you can choose spin speed, temperature and extra or less rinses as it suits you, it washes perfectly,I like my whites white and thats what i get, no nasty greys, and because washing and spinning are energy A its very economical to run, 1600 spin, leaves my closes virtually free of all excess water, clothes are light and dry fast.

We got this Hotpoint WMA76. The water build up in the drum when it has finished its cycle and the door is open. Not sure if to go through fixing it or to buy a new one with a different manufacturer.

Good machine with variety of wash programmes but the paddle problem ensures that I will avoid hotpoint like the plague in future! I have just replaced a paddle. This was the fourth replacement I have used and one of the others is looking dodgy again. At £10 a go from our local spares place (Ebay is about £7+ with p&p) it is getting to be an expensive machine to run. If it happens mid-wash I have it where clothes get ripped up on the exposed sharp bits of metal.

I really have to watch the drum paddles on my Hotpoint WMA76. They constantly break off, as they're made out of plastic and he clips break off. When they've broken my clothes have got shredded.

I would recommend this item to anybody looking for a reliable, efficient washing machine which is capable of taking 6kg of cotton clothing with it coming out clean and also being gentle enough to wash silk and woollens.

I have had a Hotpoint Ultima " WMA76 "for thee years and in that time it has torn three sets of net curtains and several blouses.

On one of the bars attached to the drum are ten raised holes and these have sharp edges and tear clothes. This is a major fault with this machine. After having satisfactory service for twelve years from my previous washer - a Zanussi. I shall never buy any kind of Hotpoint product again.

Avoid this washer like the plague!
