I just did a wash on my hotpoint wd51 and looks like i actually overloaded it, after the cycle it didn't drain, i took the hose of the pump and te water flooded out, the hose out of the pump is also clear.

I then did another load and the machine didn't spin properly and again didn't drain.

anyone help??

It sounds like the drain pump is not working. I suggest you replace the pump. I had a similar problem on a hotpoint AQXXL129P1. I managed to fix the pump. I found the impeller was loose on the spindle. I disassembled the pump and put the magnet rotor in a workmate vice. I levered of the impeller and discovered a small o-ring on the hub onto which the plastic impeller fitted. I replaced the o-ring and it works again. The design seems as though it is designed to fail - ridiculous.
