Repair guidance / Hotpoint / BR1
The final spin never happens
Separate a machine that cannot empty from one that empties but will not accelerate. An uneven load and a component fault can look similar from outside. Record the load type and the last completed programme stage; do not keep restarting a noisy machine.
A different pattern: water appears at the front
Record where the first water appears and whether this is during filling, washing or emptying. Detergent overflow, door sealing and internal water paths can produce similar puddles. Stop use and keep clear of wet sockets; a photograph from a dry position can help.
Limited working space around the equipment
Give the available working space and describe anything that obstructs normal access. An appliance being visible does not make it safe to pull out or loosen: cables, connected pipework, fixings and the surrounding floor need to be considered before any movement.

Questions for this repair enquiry
What details help with “the final spin never happens”?
Keep the last successful operation separate from the first sign of the problem. For a report of “the final spin never happens”, say what still works and what no longer happens. If the other pattern, “water appears at the front”, has also occurred, include its timing as a separate observation. Send these details with the full model and your Bromley postcode; they prepare the enquiry without identifying a part in advance.
How does “water appears at the front” change the enquiry?
Treat that as additional evidence rather than proof that both symptoms have one cause. Explain whether the two patterns began together or appeared at different times. Include the fitting context — limited working space around the equipment — so the assessment can account for safe access as well as the reported behaviour.
