Hotpoint Aquarius 1100 when draining overflows from the J pipe (U pipe?)?
When our Hotpoint Aquarius 1100 drains water which (occurs approx 5 times during 1 cycle, have counted!) we have to keep stop/starting the on/off switch approx 3 times, as our pipe (J bend? U bend?) cant seem to cope with the speed of water being expelled so therefore overflows. We are positive that this isnt due to a blockage in our pipes as everything else is fine. Any help would be REALLY appreciated as i'm wasting my life stood in front of my Washer/Dryer!! Thanks
Joe, it has to be a blockage/restriction within the plumbing of your waste. The machine will not be at fault. Your outlet (J pipe as you call it) goes into a rigid pvc waste pipe, I assume that this is a vertical pipe, at the bottom of this I suspect you have yet another elbow or U bend, this is where I suspect you will find the blockage/restriction.
