Hi all new here and i have a problem , i have a hotpoint wt960p 7kg and i turned it off and it beeped, i tried to turn it back on and it wont light up or turn on is there a sequence or a reset button somewhere or is it fecked… 😳

p.s i have checked fuse and its ok
Re: Hotpoint wont turn on
hhmm
if youve pressed the button a bit too hard, the pcb becomes ‘dislodged’ and wont operate, sometimes refitting it works
other than that, the pcb and eprom need replacing, just make sure u unplug it and leave it a good 15mins before u investigate
hope this helps
Re: Hotpoint wont turn on
hi thanks for the quick reply, didnt really push the button hard , but it just beeped about 5-6 times then went off never to turn on again , if it is eprom and pcb where can i source these and at what cost ? 😉
Cheers

Re: Hotpoint wont turn on
You should not bother obtaining a module/eeprom yourself. The machine is covered for all parts for five years, you will only pay the labour charge which is not cheap but a new module & eeprom will cost you more.

Re: Hotpoint wont turn on
i bought it second hand though so its either buy some parts or source another machine 😥
Re: Hotpoint wont turn on
Biff, have you actually looked to see if any of the above comments apply? I might add that I’ve had a few where the start switch has actually fallen off the PCB. Which was nice.

Tell them you have lost your invoice when you moved recently 😉
The date code on the machine will show that it is under 5 years old, they will be getting just under £90.00 of you so are unlikely to make much of a fuss. Far better than spending on very expensive parts that may or may not cure the fault.Always assuming that someone has checked the start switch and PCB to make sure it has not been pressed in to far first, it is quite common.

Ok i have taken out the Green board with the switches on , there is no Stuck switch!!
My Q is can i get this board tested? to see if it is working or faulty?
ThanksB
Re: Hotpoint wont turn on
i think u misread wot i wrote
is not the switch that stics, its the pcb that moves and doesnt allow the switch to be activated
make sure the clear plastic piece behind the two buttons is clipped in, then refit the board ad test it, itll give u ur answer
hope this helps
Re: Hotpoint wont turn on
i have taken out the green board behind the switches and plugged it back in without it in situ behing the buttons and it still doesnt turn the machine on

Re: Hotpoint wont turn on
ooh, that means u were live testing, which is a nono really!!
most probably the board and eprom then
