Hotpoint WD860 Dryer no heat

[Bernie]

I have just been to a WD860 for a, no dryer heat, fault.
Have checked the heater/stat/one shot all have continuity, checked loom not rubbing onto weight all ok. Fan runs ok but no supply to heater.
Have read the link: –

But this has not given me any more ideas, could it be the Board?

Can anyone help please?

Does anybody know the part number for the service manual for this machine?
Have tried Connections but there answer was ‘you need to contact Merloni/Hotpoint direct’

Board is a possible, relays can stick. I would be pointing this customer back to Hotpoint, the boards are very expensive, also six different eeproms from what I can see. Difficult call, buy an expensive module that isn’t the cause and you are out of pocket, or give the customer a bill for £150 inc labour if it is faulty:cry:

You should be getting F14 or F15 in display. F15 is more likely to be relay.

Have you checked the in line thermal cut out? (microtemp)

The problem with this was the wire to the heater was broken at the amp tag still looking like it was all connected.
It wasn’t until I was checked the continuity of the wires to the PCB that I found this one.

Thanks again for the help

Sorry to reopen this one but I went to a wd420 a month or so ago and changed the one shot…….everything else seemed fine…no fluff filter fitted etc…but just got a call for same thing….also got a wd860 to go to tomorrow so am totally confused what to do…..

Can someone sum up the current fix please!!!!!!!

Re: Hotpoint WD860 Dryer no heat

only the dryer fan may be loose, or the fixing spinning within the fan

Re: Hotpoint WD860 Dryer no heat

Also in some of the earlier posts it mentions changing the heater to new sort……what was the old sort like?……one fitted is spiral type……is there any more info on the newer heater box…is it basically the original one without fluff filter…..

cheers col

Pity they didnt just replace the one shot with a thermal fuse in the first place. :rolls:

Re: Hotpoint WD860 Dryer no heat

So can I convert to use a thermal fuse instead then ? got one part no. C00080775 on van……do you know the temp of the fuse?

Thanks for help…col

Re: Hotpoint WD860 Dryer no heat

well that’t be up to you, the part for the thermal cut-out is the same as the indesit one (c00080775) hovever there would be no clamp for it, plus i do not know if the heat box would be the same thickness (to ensure the excess heat can fuse the link if it needs to)
