Hotpoint WD71 E30 fault.

[aqualectric]

Hotpoint WD71 washer drier. Serial no. 71106632.

Display showing E30 fault (motor issues). This machine runs an FHP digital motor. Changed the worn brushes – they were low but not completely out. The motor checks out with a test meter and the loom seems fine but still E30. 😕
I have not known a PCB fail on these; but could no supply from the PCB throw up an E30? There is certainly no relay ‘click’ to be heard; just 10 seconds of pump then fault.
Any ideas?

Thanks,

Steve.

Re: Hotpoint WD71 E30 fault.

assuming E30 responds to tacho impulses then yes, the pcb could be at fault. Pressumed you have looked very closly for cracked/dry joints?

Well if the motor and wiring (Rast connector etc) checks out OK then it must be the Power Module (Relay No 1 sticking or whatever) I would think….?? 😕

Morning Mark :waving:

Re: Hotpoint WD71 E30 fault.

Some of these have a small inline cartridge with a ‘fast blow’ fuse in a black holder in the motor harness, have you checked that?

It will blow if there is an item of clothing stuck in the drum.
