    Re: hotpoint wm71 dies

    Eh? You mean it gets through the program, enters the rinse phase and does one rinse then fails? Or does it fail on the first rinse?

    If so that’s a new one on me for any machine unless HP have done something odd with the fill levels on rinse, which I doubt as they’re not exactly the hardest things in the world to suss out until they started firing in the electronic junk into them.

    I really should get the tech info for the newer Hotpoints. I always reffered to them as, “washers designed by Fisher Price” and now Merloni have them I’m not going to repeat the comments on the newer ones. 😆

    Power supply on power board packing in most likely candidate – runs for a while, warms up, gives up.

    Had one of these recently doing a similar thing. Turned out to be a dry joint on the board.
