Hi all
The above WDL 540 aborts the programme part way through with all the horizontal option lights flashing is this a fault code ?
I’ve checked the motor, heater etc for continuity and earth leaks but found nothing. Can anyone help me out ?

have you checked the capacitors for dome-ing on the main pcb? When they go you get all kinds of weird faults
Re: Hotpoint WDL 540 aborts with options lights flashing
Went to look at one in a pub this morning which reputedly had been doing just that which you describe. I was thinking maybe the 680uF but couldn’t be bothered getting the board out as that usually makes all the lights flash, I thought.
I thought it might be a partial blockage somewhere as was also reputedly not getting into a spin. Disconnected p sw tube and blew down into it with drum empty and it was quite hard to get air to flow down it. Welded drum, and I could feel that the tube disappears behind front weight. Is there a restrictor in it? Didn’t have time to do any more on it so waiting for the call back.
Was also not responding well to on/off control and door was remaining locked indefinitely when it did switch off.
It’s all making sense now … it is that cap, isn’t it?

Sounds like you’ve already talked yourself in to it ! :o)

Taking the time to write a post about it helped me reason it out. I would have just forgotten about it if I hadn’t seen Allan’s topic! No call-back yet, but I know what I’m taking with me when it comes.

Sounds like a plan always handy gettin some thinking time when the old ESP warns of an impending recall :oP
