Frequently Asked Questions - NSWM 946 BS UK HOTPOINT
How do I clean the detergent drawer?
Remove the drawer by pressing the release lever and pulling it out. Rinse it under warm water, use a soft brush to remove residue, then wipe the cavity inside the machine. Reinsert the drawer once dry.
What is the maximum load for this washing machine?
The maximum dry laundry load is 9 kg for cotton and mixed fabrics. For delicate items, do not exceed 4.5 kg to prevent damage.
How do I use the quick wash program?
Select the Quick Wash program from the dial, set a temperature up to 60°C, and adjust the spin speed as needed. It washes a small load (up to 3 kg) in about 30 minutes.
What does the delay start function do?
The delay start lets you set the machine to begin the wash cycle later (up to 24 hours). Press the Delay Start button repeatedly to choose the hour, then start the cycle; the timer counts down.
Why does the washing machine vibrate excessively?
Ensure the machine is level and the transport bolts are removed. Check that the laundry is evenly distributed in the drum, and that the machine is not touching the wall or other objects. Adjust the feet to stabilise it.
How often should I descale the machine?
If you live in a hard-water area, run the Drum Clean program with a descaler every 3 months. Otherwise, every 6 months is sufficient. This prevents limescale build-up and prolongs the machine's life.
How do I activate the child lock?
Press and hold the Child Lock button for 3 seconds. A padlock icon appears on the display. Repeat the same action to deactivate it. The lock prevents accidental changes during the wash cycle.
My door won't open after a cycle. What should I do?
If the door remains locked, wait 2-3 minutes after the cycle finishes. If it still won't open, cancel the cycle and wait for the water to drain. Check if the child lock is active—if so, deactivate it. As a last resort, unplug the machine and wait 5 minutes.
Which laundry programs are available?
The machine offers 16 programs including Cotton, Synthetics, Delicates, Wool, Quick Wash, Drum Clean, Drain & Spin, Rinse & Hold, and more. Refer to the program chart in the manual for exactly matching fabrics.
How can I buy spare parts for this model?
Hotpoint offers original spare parts (e.g., door seal, drum bearing, pump filter) through authorised service centres. For at least 10 years after the model is discontinued, you can order parts by quoting the model number NSWM 946 BS UK.
