Hi I have just had a message left on my answer machine, “WD420 all lights flashing except door locked”. I don’t know this machine so I don’t know how many lights are on this machine, but I am assuming that it is a dryer heater relay on the PCB as per the fault code guide, if this is right. Could anyone tell me if this is a site soldering iron job or a replacement board? Is it possible to get the board repaired? Machine about 2 years old. So I may have to advice customer to contact Hotpoint for parts warranty.

thanks hotpnt, I’ll call tomorrow PM, if I can’t sort it I’ll send another post begging for help. I can’t remember the name of the firm that repair/refurbish boards I have used them once but can’t find their contact details. should it be necessary.

A quick update on the fault, It turned out to be a loose connection on the comms cable. A bit of tweeking and everything is OK.
But, am I likely to get this fault again, would I be wiser to order a new cable? or would a new cable not really make much of a difference since it’s the connection to the board that is suspect?
Thanks for the info Chris, now got them in my phone book.
