Hotpoint WMA63

Re: Hotpoint WMA63

Can’t you just select spin from the control panel Ashby or are you trying to force it in to a fast spin straight away (which I don’t think you can on these) ?

Re: Hotpoint WMA63

Was it empty ?

It sounds like an OOB detection problem, check the tacho leads aren’t chaffing against the motor casing or possibly a control unit problem perhaps ?

Dave.

Re: Hotpoint WMA63

Yes, it should spin empty.

I would check the leads etc for chaffing just in case but it sounds like a control unit problem to me 🙁

Re: Hotpoint WMA63

Check your e-mails Ashby. 😉

There is a full test sequence with its own set of error codes for the WMA62/3

Re: Hotpoint WMA63

if you have removed the fascia check that you have all the leads on ok especially the two far right ( heater p sw ) I had a customer done his own brg change and had just this fault took ages to find especially as manual appears to change colour from one end of wire to the other

ps this fool had gained access to the back pulley with a hammer and chisel!!!!!! had to fit a plate over the hole

good luck

Re: Hotpoint WMA63

Just ran a quick test on my own WMA63 whilst keeping one eye on my bacon, sausages, tomatoes, mushrooms under the grill and the eggs nicely poaching in the pan. The 800 spin cycle should show 12 minutes in the display. it spins for two very short 15/20 second bursts at approx 400rpm, at around 7 minutes it spins at what appears approx 600 rpm for 25 seconds or so, it only does one spin at 800 rpm at around 3 minutes which also lasts about 25/30 seconds.
