Hotpoint WDL540P

[rolf]

Hope someone can help I’ve got a Hotpoint Washer dryer WDL540P that’s giving me right gyp.
Error code lights 1,3 and 4 reading from bottom to top. f11 I believe no drain out. Changed pcb and pump.
Set to drain it drains for second then stops even when full of water.
IR readings ok.
Thinking maybe pressure switch next but i’m running out of ideas, so any help would be much appreciated 😥

Hope you enjoying your Holiday while I’m upto my eyes indeshit …..Carbons ok, had a look at the wires to thermistor that sometimes break all ok, tried it with thermistor unpluged.I did’nt pay anymore attention to the thermistor as it fills and washes just will not pump out apart from a one second burst.

Re: Hotpoint WDL540P

change the pressure switch olso there is a new up rated dryer thermister coloured white as the early black ones caused problems and you cannot test the machine with the thermister unplugged

Thanks that’s two nods towards a thermistor so I’ll get them ordered and let you know how i get on. Really appreciate the advice. Thankyou both.

Ok were back in action with this washer. I took both the pressure switch and thermistor with me but I only needed the thermistor so a big thumbs up to Johnnyj and hotdog. Thankyou so much guys, you got me out of dodge. 😀
