E30 Error on Hotpoint Ultima 1200?

I have a Hotpoint Ultima 1200.

Motor brushes are fine (checked against new ones - hardly any wear).

Error Code E30 --- this is supposed to indicate a motor / brushes fault - but the motor does drive the drum for a short while (20 sec), then the E30 error code comes up on the display and an error beep is heard. The machine stops at that point.

Any clues ??

error code E30 is a pump problem. my machine has been back a few times with this problem. ( was under guarantee and had no manual to say what E30 meant but was told a babys sock had blocked the pump.), check for blockages and check the pump.
