Hotpoint WD420 error?

[aqua_serve]

Guys,

I’m hoping that one of you may be able to offer me somew advice. I went to look at a Hotpoint WD420 that had died on the customer. The machine literally does nothing, the only life that I can see is that some of the leds onthe front panel light up for a split second when the machine is plugged in.

The leds that lit are as follows

Left hand side, top to bottom…

Drying/High Heat (On)
Reduce Creases (On)
Rinse Hold (On)
Timer Save (On)
Extra Rinse (Off)

The other leds on the panel left to right……….

Door Lock (Off)
Wash (Off)
Rinse & Spin (Off)
Final Spin (Off)
Dry (On)
On/Off (On)

As mentioned the leds light for a fraction of a second. The customer reported that the machine had suffered some damage in transit and needed a replacement control board.

I’ve removed the PCB but haven’t noticed any burn out. Would I be right in thinking that if it is the PCB then I’ll not be able to do anything for the customer and it’ll be a job for the Hotpoint boys?

Many thanks,

Mark

try taking off the display board, and refitting it

sometimes, people press them too hard, and the buttons become dislodged

other than that, its the main pcb and eprom
