hotpoint washer

[1212]

Hi all, new to the site but well impressed with it.
Have a problem with a Hotpoint washer model WT740, part way through the cycle came up with error code F 08. On the Hotpoint site it indicates a faulty heater relay.
Had 2 quotes both around 120 pounds to replace the board.
Anybody any other ideas, what does the heater relay look like, is it possible just to replace this.

Hope you can help

Cheers 1212

Re: hotpoint washer

It’s one of the black relays on the computer board in the bottom. There have been various attempts at repair and replacement documented through this forum, with mixed results…….

F08 is also not guaranteed to be a board fault (It probably will be.). You would need to check the entire heater circuit for continuity and resistance, before you can be sure it’s the board.

Your cheapest guaranteed option is to pay The Indesit Company £99.85 and get any and all parts included in the price. Be warned that they’ll try and flog you an extended warranty at the same time!

Power off if you intend to investigate this yourself.

Hi and thanks for the prompt response.
Could you explain the bit about the guaranteed repair and who do I contact, is it Indesit directly.
Many thanks
