Hotpoint WMM65 – Water keeps running

[haf1zur]

Hi

RE: Hotpoint WMM65 1600 Spin

All of a sudden it wont do anything else but have the hot water constantly streaming through it. Thought it would stop but to no avail.

Called in a repair guy (not our usual guy as he moved somewhere) and he said we need a new washing machine. I am reluctant to think a new washing machine is required

Tried turning it off etc but as soon as it is plugged in the hot water keeps running.

Any ideas what may of caused this? or where to look to get it fixed?

Dont mind doing it myself as i have previously took the whole thing apart

Any help appreciated

What happened to your Candy washer/dryer ?

If it starts to fill as soon as it is plugged in then its possible you have a main power board PCB failure.

candy washer, my sister took it while i was at work so had to get another, completely forgot about that post

how much and where can i get a power board pcb from?

could there be something else wrong that is causing this

thanks

Not a fault I have seen on these earlier machines, more common on the later Indesit stuff.

A thorough visual check of the whole of the wiring harness for any chafing or damage would be the first step, with the mains plug removed of course. 😉

If you have ‘had the whole thing apart’ you may have left some wiring loose.

Very expensive PCB’s, might be worth taking both the control and power boards out and sending them to EMW to test first.

no, nothing was left loose as the dismantling was done a couple of months back and the thing worked fine up until Tuesday.

i’ll double check though, hopefully if it is the pcb a soldering job will fix it, keeping my fingers crossed

thanks for the help, wil update

EMW as in EMW Electronics? http://www.emwelec.co.uk

dont see a board for the wmm65

the repair guy mentioned 100 pounds to replace the board but no idea where he was going to get it from

Very unlikely to be a bad joint, more likely the be a failed triac on the board.

QER do list Hotpoint WMA60 series machines which are the same basic machine as this one.
