Flashing lifght Hotpoint Aquarius WF320

[washman3]

Hi all,
Got a Hotpoint Aquarius WF320 with flashing lights.
sequence is: vertical lights from top down – 1,2,3,4 rapid flashing light 5 (bottom)is off
horizontal lights left to right- 1(doorlock)off, 2(prewash)off, 3(wash)off, 4(rinse&spin)off, 5 (final spin) rapid flashing. on/off is also rapid flashing.
Checked : brushes-ok
heater-ok
pressure switch-ok(clicking)
no loose connections
pump&hoses not blocked.

all these lights flash until i unplug machine,nothing happens when i press on/off.
Any solutions welcome. thanks. :

According to what I can see that should be a dryer heater error but, since it’s a washing machine only that’d be a good trick.

!,2,3 and 4 are lit/flashing and 5 is off, is that correct?

We’re only interested in the option buttons.

by the option buttons can i take it you mean the 5 vertical on the right near the powder tray?? 1=wash enhance,2=reduced creases,3=rinse hold,4=mini load,5=extra rinse. counting these from top down 1,2,3,4 are flashing rapidly while light on 5 is off.
by the way the 5 horizontal buttons i mentioned earlier are the opposite: 1,2,3,4,off and 5 flashing(counting from left to right)
checked heater element with multimeter,ok for continuity and a reading of 30ohms.

The functions are irrelevant, they’re per model and don’t really matter when it comes to determining the fault code being displayed. 😉

The position of the lights are.

The other light flashing on the horizontal is just telling you there’s a fault, like you didn’t already know that!! Completely pointless IMO.

All we have on that series is here so far as fault codes go.

Thanks K,
very useful info. from those codes it looks like the heater relay all right. thats part of the main pcb at the bottom/back of machine?? so looks like i need a replacement pcb module.!
Machine only 4yrs old with very little done.!
