Washing Machine stuck on one programme

kittieviolet

Hi all
I purchased a new Hotpoint Aquarius washing machine last November model WMAL 621. On Friday I noticed that the time saver function wasn't working and that when I did a wash, it was sticking to the last programme I had used ie last programme I used was 40 min 30 degree wash, I turn the manual dial to other programmes, but still get a 40 min 30 degree wash. Its going through the motions fine, just not doing what I ask it too.
It is still in warranty but Hotpoint are unable to come out for 2 weeks. I was wondering if any body had any idea what the problem was and if it was an easy/cheap fix, if so I would rather pay a local engineer and save the wait.
Thanks in advance

Sounds like the dial is stuck so the buttons twisting but not the actual dial its stuck to.

Thanks Bengalknights. Do you know if its an expensive repair?

Would have thought it was a simple as remove knob twist the dial secure knob ensuring it twists all done.

Calling out an independent is likely to invalidate your remaining warranty.
