if the connection blocks burnt out just do a one for one wire swop using standard amp tags putting an insulated one in the middle. not that uncommon.

regards wilf

ps I dont think your the only one short of work!

Hi Wilf the block is disintegrated getting it out was a complete nightmare. The connections are loose and free hanging.

You will have to meter out the new interlock but its usually neutral thin red to number three. But dont take my word for it and there are two different types of lock on that machine.

It’s a WMFUG720P UK.M 85931760000
2 wires melted into one and the pins on what was left of the interlock are history

Re: Hotpoint machine with melted door interlock

New lock is C00309745 PTC type for 40CM doors. The connection numbers depend on brand of lock supplied, usually 2,3&4 or 3,4&5 on the Bitron locks

PTC is on 2 (Bitron 3) — As Wilf notes this is the thin wire
Common is on 3 (Bitron 4)
Switch is on 4 (Bitron 5)

Regards, Murv…
