Hi guys, wonder if anyone can help me with this. I had this one in for a bearing replacement but customer now reports that it is not taking the conditioner on any cycle.
I have revisited the machine assuming a valve had gone but seem to work fine – pre-fills with one side of the cold/tops up with hot and off it goes – put it on a rinse and the other cold solenoid opens up so I assume this proves the valves – the only part I have not seen is the conditioner part of the cycle when both cold valves open up as I couldnt hang round while the cycle ran to the end.
Two things – does anyone have a test prog for this machine, cant seem to find one and does anyone have a connection diagram for me to check – although I am sure these are right as they are keyed.At no point do I see water entering the left hand side of the dispenser.
Cheers

Re: Hotpoint WMS38 not taking conditioner.
i have a routine for testing the components one by one ie pump heater valves 1 by one but not for testing for taking conditioner
you should be able to check the valves with a meter but i would check that the conditioner bit isnt blocked underneath firstDanny
Re: Hotpoint WMS38 not taking conditioner.
Yes tested valves with meter and measured voltages when being activated so I know they work and appear to work in correct order – no blockage in syphon – but no water seems to be going into the conditioner/prewash side – left as you look at it.

Re: Hotpoint WMS38 not taking conditioner.
seem to remember they can be funny if not level
any blockage in soap box
does everything else work does it heat drain rinse and spinRe: Hotpoint WMS38 not taking conditioner.
Yep everything is fine – from memory machine is level vertically but does seem to be unlevel left to right – right side being lowest.
Can anyone tell me how the 3 pipes from solenoids should be connected – ie two cold pipes on dispenser inlet 1 and 2 etc.cheers
Re: Hotpoint WMS38 not taking conditioner.
Without having a dispenser in front of me to look at I can’t remember if the there are three or four nozzles on the back of the dispenser.
Did you remove the hoses and/or valve connections? I never do that for a bearing change, just hang the dispenser fully connected to inlet hoses and wiring over the back/side of machine, just disconnect the main inlet hose from drum. 😉
If there are four nozzles then one of them is blanked off, have you put one of the hoses on this?
Re: Hotpoint WMS38 not taking conditioner.
Not sure if this will help, I remembered that the old, hard copy WMA manuals had a picture of the dispenser in them.
Have managed to copy one from a pdf doc.
Re: Hotpoint WMS38 not taking conditioner.
Thanks for the input – yes there are 4 inlets to the dispenser and one is blocked off and from the above drawing they are connected correctly – does anyone know the test sequence for these machines – they have a dial selector and start button rather than an on/off and start as suggested in the test sequence posted on here.
cheers
