Washing machine stops mid-cycle

• Probable faultClog

  The fault may be caused by a blocked up sift or hose. Start by cleaning the pump filter, and replace it, if it's defective. If there is water in the machine, even when you have taken out the pump filter, the bottom hose is blocked and this will result in the washing machine not finishing the program. Make sure that the water can exit through the outlet hose – one way to do this could be putting the hose on the floor. Remove the inlet hose by the washing machine, put the hose in a bucket and make sure that water comes out, and that there is pressure.

• Probable faultHeating element

  The fault may be caused by a defective heating element. If the washing machine stops at the beginning of the program just after it has taken in water, the heating element may be broken. Some washing machines can wash with cold water, if yours can. If the washing machine can complete the program in cold water, then it is most likely the heating element that is defective.

• Possible faultThermostat

  Faults on the thermostat will in some cases result in the washing machine stopping mid-cycle. In other cases, the washing machine will complete the cycle, but wash in cold water. Finally, we also see that errors on the thermostat result in the washing machine being able to carry out programs at low temperatures - e.g. 30 degrees (i.e. not a cold water programme), but stops completely at programs at warmer temperatures.
