Hotpoint WDF740 nightmare call

[cornwell40]

1st call to this was a leaking valve. Dryer solenoid had overheated and distorted the valve casing. Ordered 3 way valve to find it wasn’t long enough, the old extender was bonded on, so had to concoct something with a hose entering the valve cover via the v hose. All test fine.
They then complained of the clothes coming out hot and very wet at the end of the cyclewhich hadn’t happened before. No restrictor fitted for the dry valve, back to fit one….test ok.

Still doing same thing 👿 , clear out the filter in the heater box.
Apparently after all that it’s still doing the same thing. Clothes coming out very hot and wetter than they went in.

Any more ideas :con:

Which version of WDF740 is it anyway? (Full model number) Split or welded drum?

Founda piece of polythene wrapping lodged in the pressure chamber 😀 on a subsequent call. Now the clothes just come out wet not hot anymore 🙁 .
I hate this machine now 👿

Re: Hotpoint WDF740 nightmare call

Does anyone know the correct part number for the 3 way fill valve on this machine. Numbers are 80 9150145 //54737
Also can the valve flow restrictors be bought separately anywhere. Have checked and double checked everything on this machine but can find nothing else to cause the fault. Got them to put dry towels in bn the 40 minute setting and they came out damp 😈 . I have seen mention of a valve mod on the washer dryers, is there a reason it was changed?? This call has me absolutely baffled. 😥

It is listed as a valve and dispenser top assy, part No: C00118578. This will fit both the early and later types.

Restrictors have never been available as spares.
