Hotpoint wd420G flashing lights

[andrew3556]

My washer dryer is flashing these lights slowly:drying high heat,reduce creases and time saver. It is flashing the on/off light quickly.
This fault appears after trying to start a machine cycle (any).

Any help appreciated

Re: Hotpoint wd420G flashing lights

It helps if you give us the lights by number from top down, however there is only one code I can see that uses four lights, is it the top four?

If so then you have an F15 fault. The heater relay on the main PCB is possibly faulty. The Indesit circuit boards on these machines are very flaky indeed.

Due to the ridiculous system the Indesit Company use to programme these PCB’s you would be advised to use your five year parts guarantee or try and source a refurbished module.

Re: Hotpoint wd420G flashing lights

1,2 + 4 suggest high temperature when drying due to possibly blocked condenser, fan failure etc. Should really come on during drying phase.

Sadly a large number of faults on these machines eventually lead back to PCB failure.

Had a look through forum and it is an f13 fault. Took the top off and one of the wires from the sensor on top of the heater unit had broken. Soldered it up + insulated it and it works a treat!

thanks again for quick reply. This website is top notch.
