Jim.

😀 Smashing! I had no idea, just assumed that there would be some form of reset, and its always good practice to do so after repairs. Not a bad guess then 😆

Re: Hotpoint Aquarius FDW60 Fault Code

thats what i had gleaned from reading other posts, however, in this case the machine had been empty and dry for over a week, and this LED lit as soon as power was restored (it was steady as well, not flashing)

as it happens, i used a bit of, ahem, experience (sparks being my trade, although im normally at a higher frequency than 50Hz 😀 ) and i tried holding a few of the buttons in for a while. Holding the start button until it stopped buzzing seems to have been some kind of reset. The LED went out, and ive run a ‘prewash’ as a test and all seems fine now 😀

Re: Hotpoint Aquarius FDW60 door catch fault

thanks iadom,

how easily do the various sections of the door come apart? can i remove just the screws holding the fascia around the handle, or do i need to remove the whole front panel?

Im an electrical engineer so know to remove the mains feed before working, but thanks for the heads up on the state of the metal. The last time i worked on something like this (a washer) was years ago and with a mate who worked for a local appliance repairers, i vividly remember the hospital rush that followed the comment, ‘ere, whats all this red stuff on the drum…’ 😆 😯
