    not mant people will know but
    1 why ?
    2 above the transformer are a row of blue surge protectors (varistors) each one is connected to a traic. it will prob be one of them but dont know which one serves the pump. disconnect pump and buzz it back

    Hi Dave. Thanks for your reply. I have a hotpoint aqualtis and there is no power going to the pump. I read a post from a guy a few years back with the same fault and he said he replaced the drain pump triac and now has a working machine.

    it would be very rare for a triac just to fail and nothing happen
    does the pump not start even for a sec or two ?

    normally one of two things happen
    1 pump fails and blows triac
    2 triac fails and pump never stops
    up to now never seen a failure where it just does not fire ( but there is always a first time

    anyway as i said before quickest way to find it is disconnect pump and buzz wires back to the board
