hotpoint wd61

[hilly]

hotpoint wd61 is leaking from dispenser only on synthetics prog, from the very start of the fill but once it has filled it is ok for the rest of the wash the customer is using tablets now but used to use powder and it still did it, i have been twice now and it hasnt leaked when i have been there, disp hose is clear any the first time i went i closed the isolating valve a bit to reduce water pressure just incase but no joy? has anyone else come across this?

thanks paul

dryer duct clear? P trap soap dis hose, so theres no automatic vent especially on faster/cold fill.

Have you checked vent hose that runs from the dispenser to the fan housing ,also turn down the water on the taps so it flows in without splashing.

A high percentage of the cold water normally flows through the condensor and only a small bit flows through the soap dispenser. The usual problem here is a blocked flushing hose to the condenser. This is the hose that ‘doubles back’ from the dispenser.

Re: hotpoint wd61

When I worked for Hotpoint I often came across this one, after many altering water flows and cleaning condensers I gave up and just pieced the top of the condenser with a small screwdriver. If you listen to hotpoint they will tell you it is to do with the water temperature,BHAH. Its pressure building up in the drum as it fills, piercing a hole releases it with no adverse effect.
