friday the 13th! and the washer stuck in "test". Just repeats "test" and I tried pressing start/cancel but 0:02 does not display. It does the 2 min pump out though, quickly shows "end" and then goes to "on", but pressing start/cancel again does not cancel "test". Please help as I've tried 10 times with no luck.

None of these are working for the washer we have.. anyone got any other ways of turning off 'test' on the display??

I have had to take my washing to my Mums house for 2 months now....I am GUTTED I didn't find this website before now. I have a super silent Hot point WF860 which kept coming up "test"...after reading comments, I held down "start" and "on/off" and it's now on a wash quite happy...(without any clothes to get rid of the "stale water smell!") Thank you so much!!!!

for a hotpoint wt960 use the on/off & start/cancel AND the spin button on the LHS of the display. for a couple of secs (about 5) D-off comes up on the display and the machine works perfect again!!! thank heavens....
