Hotpoint WD420 F02

[subs]

Motor/Taco Fault.
Put this machine on spin and it will whip into spin then cut out. It will try it again a couple more times and then display F02 fault.
I have a reading through taco and checked all wires from taco/motor to board. No obvious signs on board apart from slight discolouration on track by connector plug from the taco.
Is the taco coil available as a seperate part?
Or is this a board fault?

Any Help Please?

Thanks

check output of tacho by spinning motor with meter on tacho terminals

if this works (if not check tacho coil and magnet )

trace wires to timer and check again

this will prove tacho impulses are getting to pcb

Re: Hotpoint WD420 F02

you need to be the tacho pulses are getting to pcb

by putting a meter on the tacho input to the timer board and spinning motor you can prove this

Ignore me, I still think of timers as …err timers and PCB’s as PCB’s 😉 8)

Could be the magnet inside the tacho’s split or badly chipped, or has unscrewed itself so it’s not turning. The tacho/magnet isn’t available separately, I usually find a blown motor and nick them from it.
