Hotpoint WD440 wont start.

[Madmac]

This fella turns on as normal but pressing start button has no effect.. nearly. Pressed it about ten times in a row & suddenly it sprang into life, locked door & started prog.
Anyone know if the cure is as obvious as it seems; ie, new front panel needed? The start sw does have a normal feeling ‘click’ & ive checked the ribbon cable at both ends.
Learned to take nothing at face value with these Indypoint bags of sh*t :rolls:

Thanks, Eddie.

Check for dry joints on the button itself. I saw one where the microswitch had completely fallen off the board.

Cheers Phidom, yeah the tiny surface mount switches can fall off with over enthusiastic prodding, happens on LGs too i’ve found. Will prob return with a facia panel, job is in back of beyond of course :rolls:
