Hotpoint TDW SF 83b EP (UK)

Anyone know what F15 error is on these tumble dryers?
I know they are basically Whirlpool but cant find any usefull details.
I have tested the usual, heater, toc, pump and the motor does run, fault comes on after a few minutes.

Thanks in advance

F11 to F19 is listed as:

MCU failure (only for BPM motors) or BPM motor failure (BPM motor only).

Switch off/on appliance. check wiring from ACU to motor. Apply service reset procedure.

Reset Procedure:
Safety failures can be reset after the failure in the machine is corrected by the following procedure:
Within 10 seconds the following sequence must be performed:
a) turn selector switch in 6 o’clock position (down)
b) push “start” button three times.
c) turn selector one position CW (airing program)

Re: Hotpoint TDW SF 83b EP (UK)

Turns out to be the motor, really showed up on the test program
Motor from Hotpoint £232.92, Connect £199 + VAT to me.

These motors look similar to what’s fitted in some Beko autos.
Not like the good old induction motor prviously fitted to dryers but now a cheep looking permament magnet style with a control board installed.

New dryer = £293
I have suggested they get in touch with Hotpoint

Thanks again Jem and Dave

well there u go connect are screwing you

cost from Qualtex £143 cost maddock £160

its only £232 from Hotpoint inc vat so where are they getting £199 from

still not worth doing I agree but time to re-evaluate connect
