Re: hotpoint fdw60 dleicates light flashing?
After reading many posts on this site and taking your advice, I worked out that the heater itself was probably not at fault. With a PCB coming in at about £70, I opted for Hotpoint’s own £89 fixed price repair. He’s just been, changed the board and Bingo, hot water!
Thank you so much for saving me from buying a new heater! I can recommend their service very highly as the whole machine now has a 14 day warranty and the PCB is covered for another 12 months.
When you phone for an appointment they will push you very hard to take out a 12 month warranty for the whole machine for £159 – which is fine, but only if you really think you will need it.
Thanks again, Ian.
Re: hotpoint fdw60 dleicates light flashing?
Have just measured resistance between the 2 heavy duty terminals on the heater tube and I get 25.5 ohms. Before I was testing between one of the terminals and earth which gave open circuit. Do you still think its the heater?

Hello, I too have this machine with this problem. I’ve checked the PCB for obvious signs of burning/dry joints and it’s fine. I checked for continuity and resistance from the heater to earth and it just gives open circuit. Can I assume the heater needs replacing or should I check something else first?
Many thanks, Ian.
