    Hello everyone

    I own a Whirlpool wbc3c26x and until this day it as been a terrific machine, but now it’s been giving me some headaches

    It’s giving me a sound error, i made a small video of it. Tried resetting it, works for a few days, then returns to the same.

    Hope anyone can help me.

    is it heating

    the fault codes on this machine are the combination of lights that are lit. since i can only see one of them and you say none of the others are lit then its fault 8. no heat

    Yeah it’s heating the water with no problem.

    Just stops doing the cycle and starts doing those beeps

    A few days ago it wouldn’t even let me start any program, automatically went to pause and started the beeping.

    Other times pauses at 2h31m, 2h12m, 1h and something, 0h51m

    Cheers

    would have expected codes on this machine to be shown on display

    when it stops check the door is fully closed

    Well every information i have found talks about errors shown on the display.

    I’ve tried opening door and close again also, it resumes and after sometime it pauses again and starts beeping.

    For example, pauses at 2h31m starts beeping, I press play after opening door and closing again epping, it resumes but stays on the 2h31m for a lot of time, sometimes even 30mins and then pauses again and starts beeping.

    I think it around 5 years or so, 5 to 6 years not more.

    sounds like a board problem. This looks like a hotpoint built unit badged Whirlpool. The board on these are no known for reliability plus the fact no one can change them without special tools.
    it could be the fact its been plugged in for 5 years as these units go into standby and are not off till you switch off at the wall. The result can be power supplies on the board that cause problems with age
    suggest you try another socket as a long shot. Have had faulty sockets cause this sort of thing
