Hotpoint WD440 no heat on wash

[nelson]

I have this machine and it will not heat on the wash cycle, I have tested the heater and ntc and they are ok. I ran the machine and put my meter on the the heater to find no power to the heater. I got a board from EMW but still the same fault. The machine just washes constantly and will not move on through the program.

Please help before I reach for my big hammer 👿

The thermistor is prob out of range. Had one do this before.

I had one a customer had a go to before me had pictures and everything in colour before and after, sending 1st the main pcb to emw, then the front one for testing all came back no fault, any way it turned out it wasnt heating and i found out that he had connected th dryer heater circuit to to the wash heater terminlas on and wash heater to the dryer conections, as the dryer element was open circuit it was washing forver, that was his original fault a duff dryer the wonderful helpful internet had guided him to a faulty pcb, cost him a few £££’s in the end

Johnny J, you the man 😀 It had obviously been fiddled with before I got to it as the Dryer heater and wash heater supplies were the wrong way around.

The only thing I have to do now is replace the stat on the dryer unit as it has gone o/c.

Thanks again.

Oh and thanks Banksie 😉
