    E30 means the motor isn't working on this machine. There used to be a 7.5 amp fuse on the power modules on these micro processor controlled washing machines which used to blow if the motor went faulty.

    It could be that the brushes have worn out and the motor has blown the fuse. This can happen if they spark excessively but it can also happen if the armature goes down to earth, or the armature is faulty. You really need to test the insulation of the motor though with a specialist meter (megger)

    very very easy! Unplug your machine. (WARNING SOME PARTS WILL STILL BE LIVE EVEN WHEN IT IS UNPLUGGED) The pump could be faulty however the pump could be cut out by your floating valve. Tip the washer up to 45 degrees, and lean it against a wall, cuboard etc get someone to hold it so it doesnt slip and fall on you, use a towel so it doesn mark or scratch a cupboard . Get some towels, you will need them to mop up the water, under your machine you will see a black rubber pipe. Pull the pipe off using pliars to loosen the ring clip or a screwdriver if it's a hotpoint or depending on the model, inside the pipe you will find fluff/feathers/money etc blocking it, pull it all out. If you find a small clear 'ping pong' ball, put that back in (as it is a floating non return valve), and now re-fit the pipe. Re-fitting is a little awkward sometimes but take your time and try to push it on as far as you can and tighten the clip or whatever holds it into place. Your washing machine can now be used, wash all the wet towels and try it out with a quickwash and spin.
