hotpoint WD860

[abbots]

hi,
can’t find solution to this one in the old forums.

WD860P
604129311

the machine will only accept spin programs.
When spin selected, pump kicks in and machine will spin away as normal and complete the cycle.
it will not wash on any program or rinse.
2 of the 3 valves are testing open circiut , so new solenoid fitted.
Still exactly the same.
no error messages, nothing.
you press any wash program and it wont even bleep.
door interlock Ok
pressure switch seems ok
element ok
no wiring faults i can find
no damage to module or facia PCB as i can see.
any one got any suggestions?
thanks.

Re: hotpoint WD860

I’m sure you’ve checked that water is available at a suitable pressure although you didn’t specifically say so. What makes me suspect something in that area (perhaps an intermittent blockage in tap?) is that you had two o/c coils. I have a theory that coils go o/c due to overheating when filling is taking too long due to low pressure.

On the other hand it does rather sound as though no juice is getting out from the timer?/module? to start things up. So maybe the valves took something down when they went? Does EMW do a replacement?

Re: hotpoint WD860

had similar thought myself, but water pressure fine.
no power to solenoids at all.
can’t even select a wash proghram.
press any wash program and nothing even happens, no beep from programmer, no display change, no error message.
the only life in the programmer is when you select spin program.

Re: hotpoint WD860

carefully check plugs where they fit into valves for burn marks if not i would think module because it should have thrown up a fault code after not filling.
