Hotpoint BDW20 integrated washer drier. Nr. 88700487.
I think this is a Smeg in disguise.
When the machine is switched on, the timer knob just turns round and round. Not possible to select a programme. This machine has a timer and 3 PCB’s. 😯 2 are computer type boards and one resembles a normal module. Now the question is, is it likely to be timer or a PCB. And which PCB would cause it? (BTW, there is no damage evident on any of the 3 boards). The door lock is inoperative too.
Any ideas? And why 3 PCB’s? 👿Thanks,
Steve.

Re: Hotpoint BWD20 washer drier.
Open circuit pump is a common on these, often caused by 5p in the pump. Also heater failure, various NTC’s and I think even carbons can cause this problem.
the smaller of the 2 modules in the single casing is for the drier only. Modules normally quite reliable unlsess obviously blown out. Pressure chamber is behind concrete weight on front of tub! Can usually clear it by blowing water down the tube with a syringe.
Front panel of machine does come off for servicing, the trick is there is a hidden screw behind the control panel that needs to be released from inside the machine using a small phillips screwdriver with your hand up the gap when the door seal is unlipped.
Check also motor and heater wires dangling on the base plate (if fitted on this one) have been known to wear through the insulation and short out. The smeg version also has a float in the base plate that sometimes burns out, think that is deleted on the Hotpoint version though.
