Hi Paul,
Stat is red spot Part No Hpt1605160. Is the fan secure to the shaft of the fan motor? You have to take heater box off to check. Otherwise customer quitting program before cool cycle/ no water from condenser valve.

Had the same problem a couple of times after checking fan,valve ,blockages & overloading.
The fault was the thermistor ,I now always change the thermistor with
every cut out failure.

Have a read of this, http://tinyurl.com/26rugx

Also, if you enter ‘Hotpoint AND heater AND box ‘ in that exact format without the quotes in the search facility you will get plenty of reading on this problem.
