Hotpoint WF220P console replacement, set-up

[Seamy]

Does this Module have to be set-up when its replaced into machine or is it just plug & go. I’ve got one supplied but have no instructions of how to set it up. Can someone please send me details. PM me please.,

Nothing mentioned in manual, just PnP and stand well back. 🙂

Appears to be same board throughout the WF000 to WF545 range, no doubt the eeprom and main module contain the programme variations.

So does it come with programs already loaded onto eeprom then? all i have to do is put in new PCB module & it should work, i remember doing a hotpoint board before & there was a load of preseting you had to do to configure PCB to machine, by the way this machine kept the door locked all the time before & wouldn’t release, i changed interlock switch but still same, nothing else would throw up that fault? water was all gone outta tub.

This machine is a Hotpoint with Indesit control module including eeprom down at the bottom in the same place as on the Indesit. The console PCB is basically a programme selector board. Completely different to WMA or similar machines.

To fault find properly you need the scandalously expensive hardware key and for full diagnostics an Emit laptop with the Wash Doctor software installed. 😥

The five option buttons down the left hand side of the facia are supposed to flash error codes in conjunction with the On/Off led. did you notice if any of these led’s where flashing?
The only error code related to door switch is F17 that relates to door lock problems and module & connections. I would have though that dodgy connections would be more likely to cause the door lock to fail to operate rather than stay locked. It does sound more like a control/power module fault. Around £74 ex vat list, that is without the eeprom, another £8.00 plus vat.

The console board is staightforward enough, no eeproms needed nice wee easy job.

Evening jj. Would the console PCB be likely to cause the door lock to stay energised?

Re: Hotpoint WF220P console replacement, set-up

Only had that happening a couple of times, if the door releases when power is removed i’ve found it to be power board, new module and eprom .
