Thanks to Graham and wirecutterman, my Hotpoint 1100 is now squeaky clean after I found and cleaned out the filter. I too was getting brown gunk backing up in the drum and on the washing. Also that's good tip from Graham to run a hot cycle with soda after cleaning the filter.

Many thanks for the advice wirecutterman.
I had a problem with brown deposits on clothes after washing.
I first thought it was a hard water issue, but the brown stuff was too gunky.
Running hot cycles with washing soda or using proprietary machine cleaners did not fix it.
After seeing your post I took the bottom back panel off the machine and found the black tube and clips as described.
I agree the clips are awkward, but a Mole wrench holds the ends compressed, though the smaller clip at the pump end is still tricky when refitting.
I would advise taking the whole tube off and cleaning it out, since I found gunk had got past the filter.
Also, stick a finger up the opening into the drum and wiggle out any stuff still caught up there.
Apart from coins and toothpicks, I took out loads of brown gloop from drum, filter and tube - all the same looking as the stuff that had ended up on my washing.
I just ran a hot wash with soda again, having left the panel off. I checked the filter and all now seems squeaky clean.
Now for the next real wash load.

filter is not at the front its located inside the large black pipe that connects to the bottom of the outer drum. Assuming the filter is blocked you need to drain off as much water as possible by gravity into a bowl BEFORE attempting to clean filter or you WILL have A BIG MESS the large clip needs to be squeezed on the tails and held to open the clamp, can be swapped for a large jubilee clip a lot easier to work.
