Re: Hotpoint WMA37 – Speed Control

I’ve just popped the tacho out the back of the motor – comes out fairly easily, with a bit of persuasion from a screwdriver. Hard to tell what’s wrong though, as most of it is sealed in plastic.

Thanks for the advice.

Is it really not possible to obtain a spare (new or second hand)? Seems a bit daft shelling out for a whole new motor when the tacho is only worth less than a tenner! Have also seen a few coils available for other makes, wondered if any were ‘fittable’ to this model?

Re: Hotpoint WMA37 – Strange Problem…

Update – just to let you know, the problem was due to chafed wiring. The loom between the motor and the motor connector had been catching on a support strut; I replaced a section of wire that had worn through, and all was well again.

Thanks again for your help! Just a thought, if this is a common problem would it be worth highlighting in a sticky/FAQ somewhere?

Cheers
