Hi whats the conditioner valve

Re: hotpoint WM52 first edition.

The cold fill valve is a double valve, one side fills for all the washes that use cold water, and all the rinses up until the last rinse. The last rinse fills through the cold valve then switches over to the conditioner valve to flush in the fabric conditioner.

Re: hotpoint WM52 first edition.

Just take the small white ‘thimble’ out of the conditioner compartment, run on cycle but don’t open the drawer whilst it is filling or you may divert water from the other valve into the conditioner compartment. If the compartment is empty when the machine sticks then you have a faulty conditioner valve.

If the valve is working then the compartment should be full of water when run without the small syphoning tube in situ.

If it turns out to be the valve, THIS is what you need.

Re: hotpoint WM52 first edition.

Hi its me again, today new wash load in machine, setting on E normal wash, lid removed from machine to see whats happening or not happening with water fill from double inlet valve, waiting and watching for it to stop where it stopped before ( rinse & spin cycle ) umm it did not stop it completed the full wash cycle, BUT I did notice that the inlet pipe for the conditioner drawer did not opperate but yey it did not stop the cycle from completing. So at least I know I do need a new double inlet valve fitting, This is the 3rd wash attempt after fitting the new brushes is it possible that the brushes have bedded them selfs in and solved the stuck cycle porblem :rolls:

Mr KB P.S. excuse my spelling.

Re: hotpoint WM52 first edition.

Badly seated brushes would cause the machine to stick mid cycle.

You will only need to change the conditioner valve if it is not actually taking the conditioner into the machine.

Re: hotpoint WM52 first edition.

You may have blown the internal motor overload. Sounds as though the commutator has lost a segment.

Looks like new motor time, could possibly have also damaged the control timer. 😥

Re: hotpoint WM52 first edition.

humm will take motor out and check it over, but if the control timer is kaput it may not be worth mending. :rolls: :rolls:

Re: hotpoint WM52 first edition.

Hi peeps, took the motor out today and the commutator looks ok ,gave it a clean while I could, made sure the brushes worked and fitted. refitted motor and tryed it again with no joy. SO, has the motor got a thermal trip inside that will have blown ? and can it be replaced, the timmer on the machine seems to work ok.

Re: hotpoint WM52 first edition.

If it has blown the thermal trip then there is very strong possibility that the armature is goosed.

Have you meggared the motor including the armature for earth leakage?

Jim.
