Hotpoint WD420

[Jills_Problems]

Hi.

I have a three week old WD420 and it doesn’t seem to dry.

The machine goes through what I think is the correct process but nothing comes out dry. It all comes out damp and hot. Its always done this rather than starting to do this.

Think 90 minutes for cotton undies and still damp with the drum about half full.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

the condensers probably blocked, thats the plastic trunking on the back of the drum

PLUG OUT AND PROTECTIVE gloves if your gonna investigate

theres lots of sharp edges

Is that an easy job or something that will go horribly wrong and cost me a new machine???

oh, sorry, its a wd420

do you have have both pipes connected, that could be the answer

miss read the original post

its more likeley an airflow/water supply problem

3 weeks old? is it new or did you buy it second hand?

Re: Hotpoint WD420

No problems 😉

Its brand new from the shop and I have the Hotpoint ‘Y’ pipe connecting the two inlets with the cold water only and the waste pipe to the drain.

Its under the bench so I’m not sure how the airflow gets to it.

airflow around the machine doesnt affect the drying process.. its how it blows around in the appliance that matters

seems pretty strange that at only three weeks old its giving like that kind of problem – that being said, nothings impossible for one of them, or indeed any hotpoint / merloni machine

call someone out if your not sure, possibly the fans already dropped off or somethings failed
