I have had my hotpoint WD440 for just over 2 years and it has been fine, 2 days ago i went over to it and tried to turn it on and nothing happened. I moved the machine out and then put it back into place and it then switched on fine but now it will not turn off.

Following this problem the machine now starts itself if you leave the door closed and also seems to be repeating the cycles this morning without stopping????

If someone could let me know how to go about repairing it or if this is a common fault on these machines i would really appreciate it.

Thanks

John
