Hotpoint WF540 – F10 fault

Hi Folks

Went to this last week – f10 fault (pressure switch not sensing)

Check P/Switch by tempory fitting Indesit 1 had on van with same connection block – checked water valves and tightened pressure switch connections on module all 2 no avail. Suspected module so sent to EMW which they have sent back saying it tested out ok.

Questions :

What does f10 actually mean – does it mean the module cant sense a pressure switch fitted? eg broken wire, bad module connection, burnt out p/switch.

Or does it mean that its put some water in the m/c and the pressure switch value should have canged but it hasn’t. eg worn pressure tube or blocked p/system (f4 fault – pressure switch stuck on empty)?

Are the pressure switches common 2 both hotpoint/indesit with same connector block or do I have 2 start carrying yet another pressure switch just for test porposes? eg. I need 2 test with that perticular p/switch for that model.

Have read through the other posts to do with f10 faults but what has other peoples experience been with this fault?

Any pionters welcome b4 I have to go back in 2 days time.

Why don’t manifactures just leave it up to engineers to use there own diagnostic skills instead of shuting m/c down or aborting programs and giving us ambigous info!! :rolls: Oh.. I forgot – if it’s not complicated it won’t work 😡 (grumpy old man coming out)

Thanks
