PCB power supply fault – new PCB is the answer. (or a refurb from EMW of course!!).

Re: Hotpoint WT540
Got this from a recent post, haven’t tried it myself….
Easy fix !!
Largest in the 3 capacitors on the main board rated 680u – 10v ….
Domed the top so sweated it off and replaced by a farnell item , cost all of 17 pence . Downside is you can only buy them in tens , i can live with that though …I’m going to order some to try on my next WF or WT which has gone into disco mode.

I think these should do the trick.
Re: Hotpoint WT540
Just ordered some of these, is Farnell a different part of CPC Farnell?
It is a different web site.
The capacitor does show signs of damage, its the biggest of the group of three, there is a larger one near the edge of the board.
£2.08 for 10 inc delivery, nothing to lose really. 8)
