I expect its been said before
But you have to give Hoover/Candy top marks for designing the inlet tube on their pumps so a 10p coin fits perfect to block it off!!!
Makes you wonder who designs these things Eh?
Still mustn’t moan, there a great source of incomeRich
If you pop out the control board, and can see no blown tracks etc, it is usually the Control board, I change the board along with the Interlock (as most Hotpoint boys do).
But as Martin states above if you’ve got blow outs on the board, it usually means something external has blown and taken the board out with it.Welcome to the forum. Hope you’ll find it interesting, I certainly do!!!

=water supply problem.Could be a number of things
Taps not on
Kinks in inlet pipes
Filters blocked at water valves
Water valve not operating
Blocked pressure chamber
Faulty pressure switch
Or even a pcb fault
The list is quite endless lolRichard
I would be looking at blockage (ie filter,sump hose, coin in outlet pipe etc) or faulty pump

Re: WMA – can’t get belt on?
I’ve never had a problem fitting these.
I do it by fitting over motor pulley and then wind it on the drum pulley, I don’t use cable ties or nothing else, but I do use leather gardening gloves to protect me little pinkies lol
Richard
Disregard my last post above
It will have a J pulley.
If you remove the heater assy on the back of the dryer, and also remove the fan. You will see four screws that hold the motor. Before you undo those screws you should mark the motor and the housing (to make it easier to reassemble).
Remove the four screws and get a slip joint type pliers and swivel the motor anti clockwise. Slip on new belt and then swivel the motor back (with slip joint pliers until the marks align. Then refit the four screws.
That basically is how Hotpoint do it. But trying to describe it is a different kettle of fish lol

Has it got a Jockey pulley? or is it a stretch belt?
If it’s a stretch belt, the motor can be slackened off, and spun round to fit the belt.
I’ve never done one but was talking to a friend who has.
Richard
I just checked around for you, and it seems that its obsolete.
Looks like Jims idea is the best solutionRichard
That is the correct belt accoding to parts centre
Maybe its bagged wrong (ie could it be a top loader belt in the bag?) only a thought
Richard
If you pm me your email add I will send you the wiring diagram
I dont know how to post it on the forum 😕 😕 😕 😕

Re: News….Indesit descaler sales rocket
Yep it’s true to form in this area, customer rings Hot/Ind. with d/w problems, immediately talked into buying two packs of cleaner, what a scam, bloody spaghetti munchers. I suppose it beats the old Hoover? scam of years ago, engineers selling christmas tree’s or was it Servis
Oh yes it was Servis.
I used to work for Servis (in the good old days 1982-1988)
When we were taken over by Porth decorative (Alf Gooding), the emphasis was more on selling Xmas stuff than repairing appliances lolRichard
