Re: hotpoint wma31

dude when the 3 lighrs come on it indicates “a major fault”. having been a hotpoint engineer and have come across this fault many times the only way to rectify this fault is a new motor and control module.had the same fault on my own appliance and as i said this is the only guaranteed fix.
