Door Interlock is 95{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} sure to be the problem but do check :-

Wiring harness chaffing on cabinet, water leaks on motor, motor drawing too much current for starters 😉

P.s Trace the door interlock wires to the module board and if the tracks are blown in that area you will know for sure it was the Interlock that caused it 8)

Very common for the wiring harness to chaff on the concrete balance weight.

Re: Hotpoint WMA36P

Had a couple of these t’other week. D,interlock replaced , board repaired by EMW. Good job done!!!! 😆 But do check dem’ wires. 😉

it was an insurance job so we changed motor ,door switch and board,we did check for chaffing but found nothing. the thing that worried me was when you do a wm machine and you split open the interlock and you can see a lovely splash mark inside the switch but this one was as clean as a whistle.
ps what does emw charge for a replcement board and are they formatted?m

Re: Hotpoint WMA36P

Last three wma machines I’ve been to with blown boards, have all been caused by the motor brushes wearing out from normal use, machines were between 5 and 6 years old.
