Hotpoint Washing Machine Motor

The electric motor that spins the drum for washing and spinning.

Signs it has failed

• The drum does not turn although the machine fills and drains
• A burning smell or smoke from the motor area
• A loud humming, grinding or scraping when the motor runs
• The machine trips the electrics when it starts to spin

Check before you buy

• Check the drive belt and carbon brushes first, as they cause most motor symptoms
• Spin the motor shaft by hand with the machine unplugged: it should turn freely
• Check the motor wiring and connectors for burn marks

What replacing it fixes: if the signs above match your washing machine and the checks point to this part, fitting a new one should clear those faults. If the symptoms continue, the cause is elsewhere (a control board, a sensor or a blocked vent or hose).

How to replace it

1. Unplug the machine and turn the water off
2. Remove the back panel and the drive belt
3. Photograph and unplug the motor wiring
4. Remove the motor fixings and lift out the old motor
5. Fit the new motor, refit the belt and wiring and run a test wash

Guide steps are typical for this type of part. Layouts differ between models, so follow your own manual where it differs.

Getting the right part

Motors are specific to the machine and drive type (brushed, induction or inverter). Match the part number on the motor label and your model number.

Part numbers listed for Hotpoint washing machine motor

These are manufacturer part numbers that a UK spares retailer lists as Hotpoint washing machine motor parts (checked 2026-10-29). Fit is per model: a number here is a lead to check against your own rating plate, not a promise it fits your machine. Searching the exact number is the most reliable way to find the right part. The retailer lists 22 Hotpoint numbers for this part type; 10 are shown, because most fit only specific models. Search with your model number to narrow it down.

Some numbers are used across Hotpoint, Indesit, Creda and other Whirlpool-group brands. Numbers starting C00 are the Hotpoint/Indesit manufacturer reference format. If your old part has a number printed on it, match that first.
