any idea of the fault
CheersRe: Hotpoint WF541
Moved to correct forum, 😉
Lights 4+5 is fault code F17. It is supposed to signify a door lock fault.
However the Indesit electronics in these machines are known to be very unreliable.
It could just be a faulty door lock but just as likely the main PCB itself.The door lock is not expensive so could be worth a try. Be sure to remove the mains plug if you intend to go inside the beast.

I had a problem withone of these machines, where ALL lights on the front panel were flashing and no program could be selected, I took theboard out and noticed a 680uf 10V 105c capacitor blown on the main board, 30 pence for a replacement and an easy repair for DIY, 6 mths later machine going strong. Initial cheap components on board, typical mass production.
