HOTPOINT WD420 STARTS SPINNING WHILE WATER STILL IN DRUM

[lee39]

I HAVE RECENTLY REPLACED THE PCB IN THIS WD420 AS IT WAS BLOWN BY A FAULTY INTERLOCK,ON TESTING THE MACHINE EVERYTHING SEEMED TO WORK FINE UNTIL THE FINAL SPIN.THE MACHINE STARTED TO SPIN WHILE WATER WAS STILL IN DRUM CAUSING IT TO BACK UP AND COME OUT THE DISPENSER DRAWER AND IDEAS MUCH APPRECIATED.

Hi Lee

Can you turn your caps lock off please as It`s considered rude on the net.

Some posters will think you are shouting 😉

Possibly gunged up pump filter or small object obstructing pump impellor.

Access from behind small back panel, inside the large black hose under the drum, mains plug out and arm yourself with a few towels. Take care not to splash water onto the electrics.

If you push it by hand it will move back and forwards quite easily. It shouldn’t really move in that direction during spin unless it has a slightly out of balance load.
