No errors indicated by top row of lights, have you checked the motor brushes?

Re: hotpoint wd 420

I’ve had this before & it’s usually the PCB. One trick that works sometimes is to unplug the machine & short the live & neutral pins on the plug!! I didn’t believe it but the tip came from a current Hotpoint/Indesit engineer & it’s worked twice for me. It makes the board forget all its troubles & reset.

Er… that ought to go into one of the stickies e.g. “tips and tricks”.

Edit: Have taken the liberty of doing that for you.
