    Ant,

    Sounds like it to me, obviously if you set any programme and start it and the door fails to lock then yes, new Interlock (Part No: 1604781)

    MMmmmm not too sure it is the interlock.
    Had this fault recently and the board had gone. On closer investigation one of the carbon brush holders was less than 1Meg. Worth checking.

    prob. neutral missing from lock, confirm by taking feed from neutral input straight to red wire(pretty sure red!) in past have replaced lock and took a feed from neutral as board has blown, this sometimes works but at the end of program the door will not de-latch as the board switches off neural and the lock cools, so cust. has to turn timer to off position for lock to de-latch.

    dont know what would happen if they went on holiday and left washer on! hopefully the lock would just burn out?!?

    Simon/Ant,
    DO NOT leave the customer’s machine with the added external neutral……….. There are insurance, liability and safety issues.

    Good luck with the soldering iron.

    Cheers,
    Chris.

    Re: hotpoint wma42n

    This ‘door light flashing’ is the most common fault on these boards, usually caused by a shorting interlock. You need to change the interlock AND the board. Merely resoldering the blown track will not make these boards work. We stock them at £34.90 + vat. If you accidently blow it again, we repair for second time for £4 + vat. We need to know model number and the number of option buttons (2,3,4 or 5) Tony EMW 01623 647537
