How do you use wash only function?

[@miriankachikwu3115]

Just got a new hotpoint. I’m really struggling with the dry only. The machine just beeps when I press the dry only stating that ‘This action is not allowed.” 😩

[@fp6603]

There are some settings where it will be able to do the dry only and some that don't. The Cottons and the synthetic settings do allow you to dry only.

[@leloelela]

It is absurdly difficult to use this machine. The cycles don't consistently dry, and dry only often sends you back to wash. The extensive use of ambiguous symbols instead of words renders it more confusing.

[@Cassius..]

It doesn’t work on certain settings you have to turn the knob to the right one to get it to work.

[@dawnswaffer1088]

This machine is honestly the most complicated thing I have ever tried to use. 9 hrs for a wash and dry bedding!!!! It adds water on a dry only cycle and doesn’t dry. DO NOT BUY!!!

[@Cassius..]

@@dawnswaffer1088 Yep there is NO WAY I’m doing w wash for 8/9 hours. When the guy installed it he said. Mate use the dryer at least once a month they have a habit of breaking down if you don’t 🤷🏻‍♂️. I’m in a rented housing where the washing & dryer came with it as I’ve no drying stave outside, well I do but it’s a b#%%#%# getting out into the garden with washing. Back to the machine. It’s one of the most complicated I’ve ever had the displeasure of having. I’ve never done so many 30 minute quick washes in my life. I just about forgot about the “adding water” during a drying cycle” what the hell is that all about. All you hear is a blast every 5 mins I thought it was like steam. Im really not sure what the water/steam is doing going back from the drawer into the machine. I’m only thing I can think of is steam ans something do with your cloths not needing ironed so much 🤷🏻‍♂️ I haven’t a clue. lol

[@lucyblackhall8427]

Hi, can you only do a dry without a wash, can’t seem to find the setting

[@adrianneavenicci]

Same! We can't figure it out. Edit Ok so I pressed Cotton on the dial then the Dry Only button on the screen. It dried it for 30 mins but the towels were still damp so I put them on again. I then tried press Drying Level. No idea what some of the numbers are but I chose 45 and it set it to dry for 45 mins.

[@duckman5642]

How can it just dry, without being more complicated than flying the Space shuttle 😭

[@lords-electrical]

Must admit not the easiest, but select any program and then select the "Dry Only" button. Then it will just dry rather adding the wash as well.

[@margaretfarwell6163]

I agree! I am going demented. My attempts to dry resulted in my last load washing 3 times! I am thinking of contacting my supplier to see if someone can come and explain. 🤪

[@NickCaruana]

Select the cycle according to fabric type, much like you would when using a dryer, if you’re drying synthetics, select synthetics. Then, select the ‘Dry Only’ option. If you wish to alter the level of drying, say from an Easy Iron dry, to a Cupboard Dry, just press the ‘Drying Level’ button until the desired level is selected.

[@NanaBonsu-hz3vy]

I’m struggling with a dry only option. I did put dial to cotton and then pressed dry only, but it seemed to wet the clothes first?

[@leloelela]

It is absurdly difficult to use this machine. The cycles don't consistently dry, and dry only often sends you back to wash. The extensive use of ambiguous symbols instead of words renders it more confusing.

[@Cassius..]

It’s only certain settings that the “Only Dry” works on. I know it’s a month since you commented but if you turn the knob to different seatings it’ll work on only dry

[@susanhodgson178]

Do you have to put the dial onto cotton wash , just to dry. When I put it on dry only, water started going in🤷‍♀️.

[@NickCaruana]

Well, depending on what cycle you put it on, depends on what cycle it dries on. Similar to using an actual dryer, you’d select a Cotton or Synthetics cycle, as Cotton uses a higher heat to dry, and Synthetics is a lower heat. When it comes to water, that’s because the washer will either use steam to aid drying, using the residual heat from the steam to dry the laundry, but equally uses water to condense. Traditionally, condenser dryers use cold air running through a condenser, removing the moisture from the humid air and condensing it into water. The washing machine doesn’t have a condenser, so instead uses cold water to condense the humid air.

[@shanebrowne5222]

How do you do a Auto clean cycle on these machines? Especially been newly installed?

[@irinagirleanu3348]

What if you want to wash then without drying them?

[@Cassius..]

@@irinagirleanu3348 Ypu can you say them without drying. Just put it on a normal wash and don’t touch the drying button which is located on the left hand side of the black buttons 1 down from the Key lock button. Just put in your normal wash and set it to a 20c 60°-90°c 40°-60°c or a 20°c wash which is 1h 50 Mins Unless you put it on a “Rapid wash that goes for 30 minutes and is what I do, as the other washes are too long. A 60-90c wash is 2 Hours 45 minutes, 40° 60° wash is 3h 38 mins, and a 20° wash is 1h 50 mins. I’d put it to whatever wash you want just don’t press the dry button or put it on a Wash Dry mixed Ir wash dry XL bedding but I’d think you’d be able to either set it or stop it yourself after the spin and take your washing out.

[@missmitty10]

I'm trying to find this out too. It's not obvious at all from the instructions.

@@missmitty10 I ended up doing quick wash 😅 but yeah it's not clear at all

[@juliemorgan8309]

Just installed this machine and wash cycle is great, however on the dry cycle it keeps blasting water in every 20-30 seconds which is really loud and gives me a headache! So far it hasn't dried any items fully. Done troubleshooting and frustrated with it now! Please advise tyvm

[@effelldubbulyew]

Same; can’t figure it out. Starts/stops water every 5secs, pipes bang throughout the house and when clothes come out; they’re red hot but still wet🤷🤷

[@fp6603]

It also takes a long time to start drying! The guy I spoke to on the support line said that was the machine building up steam to do the drying. I hate the noise it makes every few minutes, sometimes in it throws in another spin cycle too and this apparently is because the sensor has sensed that there is too much moisture.

[@bradleydrysdale6518]

[@jyoungman92]

I think Hotpoint need to link to this videos comments section for a FAQ, I've learned more from the comments here than i did reading the manual. I now know how to use the drier and how to do an auto clean 😅

[@Cassius..]

@@jyoungman92 lol it can be a pain trying to understand the instructions when looking them up, but yeah the comments.. using the cleaning your machine by using the dryer buttons was brilliant it indeed did clean the machine. I put in a couple of comments when learning from others too, I hope it helped.

[@hazelflynn2344]

This informed me how to use auto clean - which was advised in the paperwork/info leaflet which came with the machine but which gave no clue as to “how to do/set” - thanks “You Tube” - Hotpoint - would be helpful if you linked to this video!

[@thelaundrycookie1200]

i didn't expect those white\blue LEDs - i'm used to green and orange LEDs on hotpoint\indesit machines. personally i think these white\blue ones look great. i think the reason they kept mixed wash+dry to 1200rpm max is because often mixed cycles are designed to wash both synthetic and cotton together, and hotpoint\indesit synthetic cycles are capped to 1200rpm. but i agree with you, it would be more logical for it be 1400rpm to reduce drying time as much as possible. by the way, happy new year!

[@TechyBen]

Yep. The problem is (from my experience as a useless bachelor ;) ) that synthetics hold a lot of water and don't squeeze out like cottons do. So spinning them at 1400+ speeds is DANGEROUS. As the machine might hop out of the kitchen and take a ride around the garden at those speeds and weights! I found the 1200 spins in Bosch and Miele to be as good as the 1400/1600 Hotpoint spins. But it depends on the drum size and type it seems.

[@thelaundrycookie1200]

the logic behind them capping synthetic cycles to 1200 is that these fabrics don't usually need faster speeds. in the past, synthetic cycles always used to be capped at 800\900rpm. though nowadays synthetic washes are being treated like cotton washes - a lot of manufacturers are giving them 1400rpm and very intensive cotton-style wash actions. some types of synthetic fabrics can hold more water than cotton, but they generally spin out much easier, hence the reduced speed and significantly reduced hold at full speed on most synthetic cycles. it's not dangerous to spin any fabric at any speed, and machines won't go walking from that (unless they're very poorly built). this is what the machine's load balance sensing is for, to protect the machine and its surroundings during spin cycles. the thing is, high speeds may crease certain fabric excessively or misshape them. hence the reduced speeds on certain cycles. spin performance varies wildly between brands, it's all down to drum design and spin pattern. i've found the best performance to be from 2010s LG, due to their sensible length holds at full speed and effective drum designs. and the worst performance to be from current hisense WFQ- models (ie their own models), due to very poor drum design with almost no holes in, along with a ridiculously short hold at full speed despite having a spin spray when it reaches full speed. the results from a normal 1400rpm in my hisense is probably equal to that of around 800rpm in my LG, maybe even slower... bosch fits quite close to LG on this scale, they generally spin well

[@TechyBen]

@@thelaundrycookie1200 I certainly found synthetics always come out damper than cottons, and often had jumpers/jeans hold so much water it's not good for the machine/load balance (load balancing hasn't always existed). But I agree that drum design/cheapness seems to come into it. As said, Miele and Bosch can have smaller drums that do better than Hotpoint and LG with massive drums (We had one of the early 12kg+ drum machines back in the day :P ).

[@thelaundrycookie1200]

indeed, back in the day balance sensing wasn't really a thing. instead, machines just flung the load around the edges of the drum and hoped for the best. although back then, machines were built significantly better so they could better withstand the levels of imbalance from such unbalanced spins. i find drum volume itself rarely affects spin performance. design and spin programming is everything. unless the drum is wider than standard (example - haier).

[@TechyBen]

@@thelaundrycookie1200 I remember the "pancake" motor LG. It had a massive drum, and we'd put it in demo mode in the store and it'd spin quietly... till we realised it was rubbing the rubber seal dry for too long and starting to get hot and smoke! XD

I have this new this week. I have used it to wash once and then put it to dry only byt the drum doesn’t spin.. it just makes a clunking noise.. the wash cycle was fine.. any ideas ? I can’t find a filter to check it or anything any ideas before I call the retailer back?

[@lords-electrical]

The clunking noise could be the door locking when the program has started. The drum will only rotate slowly when drying, not spin like the washing side will. If it is drying ok, i would try it a couple more times to make sure it is washing or drying ok, if not i would contact the retailer to get them to check it.

[@tetsuoshima7385]

@@lords-electricalI think they mean that the door is shut fine and the clunking is related to the detergent drawer/water gurgle and is every ten seconds. As for the spinning of the drum, it’s pretty much non existent throughout the dry only cycle, but I don’t know why. I would suggest this is extremely poorly designed.

[@bigalec94]

@@tetsuoshima7385 I also experince this quite loud clunking every ten seconds or so on dry only. By the sounds of it this is just the machine and not an issue to be concerned about?

[@tetsuoshima7385]

@ Yes, same here and from what I can gauge that is just ‘normal’ for this machine, being that it is a non-condenser type of drier and has to heat-up the drum. I guess these combination appliances will never be as good as a separate tumble drier. But the clothes do get dried from the two loads I’ve dried so far.🙂

This machine with its 3.48 min wash and the 8hr wash is just mad. I’m at a loss with this machine. I noticed a comment about the dry cycle that’s easy enough to work as the rest but I didn’t know it had sensors in it. Edit… I’ve put it on wash and spin or whatever the button next to spin is. I just hope it doesn’t shrink it. I can hear it angrily rinsing lol This machine is one of the most difficult ones I’ve had. Thank god it wasn’t me that bought it, as long as my good sweater is ok lol.

How many items of clothing are you trying to spin? If it is just one item, it will not spin properly as it cannot balance the load out properly, you need at least 2-3 items in the machine.

Thank you I have watched this video a few times as the machine was totally alien to me when it came, I think a quick watch refreshes my memory, I have not used all the programs over the few months I have had the machine. The only negative things about the machine for me is the Soap try I find they is usually a little residue left in the 2 stain/power dispenses, also which is not the thought of the machine but I bought the Pods but for a white wash I do not find the washing comes up as white as with soap powder. The time is the only other thing, so long how can this be economical?

[@susiemorris2334]

Thanks for your video - very useful. I've noticed a couple of times that the machine has a feint smell of burning upon opening it up during a dry cycle. I've been told to check the "lint trap" for any debris or fluff. Where is the lint trap? I know where the regular filter is but have to remove the base board from my kitchen units to get to it. Is this the same filter as the lint trap? Too frightened to put the machine on now other than when I am in the house for fear of a house fire!

[@lords-electrical]

Washer dryers wouldn't normally have a lint trap or fluff filter. Any fluff or lint would normally go out of the waste hose during the wash. The filter on these machines are normally at the bottom behind the kick strip where you can get access to the pump filter where coins or small items end up that fall out of clothing items.

[@susiemorris2334]

@@lords-electrical many thanks for the reply - that's kind of what I thought. I know that standalone dryers do have lint/fluff traps that regularly need clearing - but this was the advice given out on their website so was a bit bemused by it. I'm just a bit worried that two or 3 times, since I got the machine in July, it has smelt faintly of burning when I've opened up the door - and I only ever wash and dry on cooler settings so am a bit concerned. I certainly won't put the machine on to either wash and/or dry when I'm not in the house for this reason. Any ideas? Is this a common problem with this model? Many thanks.

[@lords-electrical]

Quite a common comment from our customers now. A lot of modern machines use a lot less water than machines of around 10 years ago. I would check to make sure the water tap is open enough first. If it isn't then the pump on the machine will be quite loud as the pump is trying to pump the water through but the pressure is not enough. If it is on ok, then i would keep an eye on the wash performance. If the clothes are coming out clean, then i wouldn't worry and just keep an eye on it.

Yes it has a wash only option.

[@ChadHavoc]

Problem/Question I have this model and on the drying cycle it keeps spurting out water in the compartment at the top, every 10secs, it's definitely water coming in through water pipe rather than going out the waste pipe (waste pipe is fine to add)

[@lords-electrical]

Sounds very odd but first thingvi would do is to turn the water inlet tap down a little bit as it sounds like you have quite high water pressure which can cause this

[@ChadHavoc]

@@lords-electrical I've tried that turned it down half way then a quarter it seems to still proceed, taking water in on dry cycle every ten seconds little spurts of it, I thought originally condensation coming out, unless is it getting to hot in the drum so it's add water to cool down?

Hi, just wondering if the 'Dry Only' option is available on ALL programmes - don't think it is but would be grateful if you could please confirm. I've been putting damp towels in the dryer to try to dry them but the machine washes them again! Is the 'Dry Only' option only available on the top three programmes (i.e. Wash & Dry XS Rapid, Wash & Dry Mixed and Wash & Dry XL Bed & Bath).

[@blessings5675]

I'm having some issue it's not spinning

[@NickCaruana]

I believe you turn the dial to the applicable cycle, say Cotton for towels or t-shirts, or Synthetics for a low heat dry. Then you select the ‘Dry Only’ option. Need not be alarmed if water goes in, as the machine uses water to condense the humid air, and drain away the water. Equally, I can imagine that the ‘Dry Only’ option is available with the Cotton, Synthetics, Delicates, and Woollens cycles.

Is there a way to do a spin cycle only? Maybe I missed it here, I don’t want to dry the clothes I just want them to spin

[@adrianneavenicci]

Spin only with no washing is at 7 o'clock on the dial. The arrow, water and spin symbol.

[@pwillams93]

You should be able to see the symbols it’s the one with out the rain that’s the spin and drain. The one with the rain is rinse and spin

[@zohaibtrueblue]

Thinking of buying this or hoover H500. Any recommendations would be appreciated 😀

[@lords-electrical]

We sell some of the Hoover models, but sell a lot of the Hotpoint and they are very good. The Hoover can be a bit confusing when it comes to program selection

[@dawnswaffer1088]

As someone that just replaced their easy simple hoover washer dryer with this Hotpoint piece of c&@p. Pay the extra buy the hoover one and you won’t have 9hr wash and dry cycles and wet clothes when you are trying to just dry them!

I’ve been doing nothing but Rapid washing 😂 The delay button is great for setting it to start at night and it’s quiet enough too.

Normally you select the Dry Only button then press the "sunshine" button to select the level of dryness needed.

Bring back the Hotpoint Supermatic. It was simple, it worked and was reliable.

[@susiemorris2334]

Just bought an Hotpoint NDB9635 9Kg washer dryer - had it installed yesterday. Trying to figure out how to use it just as a washing machine only. Tried it yesterday on a Rapid Wash and it automatically dried it too.. Trying to figure out how to just wash, on occasions. Think I've understood how to Dry Only on occasions and how to manually select the drying time on the machine - so thanks for that!

[@maureenmcgarry-ohanlon4796]

Hi Susie, how did you get the dry only. I just use the quick wash 30m and that gives a wash only.

[@susiemorris2334]

@@maureenmcgarry-ohanlon4796 I've found how to dry only.. Select the 30 minutes quick wash wash-only programme and THEN press the Dry Only button over on the right hand side. You can then select the amount of time for drying..

This will be the child lock that has been accidently activated, if you have a button on the machine that has a key symbol, press and hold it for about 3 seconds and hopefully you should be back to normal

How do u clean it

Press and hold the dry only button for about 10 seconds. If you look at your machine you’ll see a little square with a plus in the middle on the white plastic next to that dry only button. 😊

The instruction manual doesn’t even mention how the dryer works I certainly can’t get mine to work the way he said / the clothes wash compartment thing doesn’t fit either. Terrible machine not had it 5 days - will be sending it back!

There is no single program that wash in about 1:00h 1:30h 😢 in 40° so is not that long l!!!

[@maureenmcgarry-ohanlon4796]

Hi. I usually do a quick wash, 30m maximum. The leaflet says, "Select the wash cycle compatible with the type of garments you wish to dry". All my garments get the same program because there is not a snowball in Hell's chance I'm going to take hours to do a washing. In order to do a 'dry only' does it have to be set to a wash & dry program so even if I use the 'quick wash', I have to reset it to a program that includes a drying cycle and then attempt the 'dry only'? I'm a very literal individual. These instructions are obviously confusing considering the amount of comments/questions. If the answer to my question is 'yes', then the type of garment doesn't matter a damn! What matters is the program selected includes a drying cycle to 'skip' to, otherwise the machine has a hissy fit. Mo. (Your average post-menopausal woman. That's right the type that Carol Vorderman states is the most dangerous species on Earth. X. 😄

Colour catcher keeps getting stuck in the drainage pipe and block the machine.

[@marylynne9104]

I know this is a very late answer, but get a zipped mesh laundry bag and put your colour catcher in that. That will solve your problem.

Love this video.. just ordered one of theese for my grandma and iv been tumble drying the bed sheets on A3 and they have been coming out wrinkly. I need medium heat setting so will try A1 ... at 17:30 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqvVZYxsaquFprs you explain the steam hygiene setting. What is meant by "port hole to become hazzy " is it ok to use this setting for every wash as we only use the intense setting as its the most simple setting.

I'm the same, can't work out how to just dry clothes.

[@LadyAgonist]

Dry only is under the wool dial, then click dry only. Or the spin cycle dial (where 7 would be on a clock) and choose your drying level by clicking until you find the dry time you want

[@leloelela]

It works sometimes. Other times it sends you back to a wash cycle. Atrocious design.
