Re: new BOSCH – Classixx 7 WTA74200GB
Yeah Don Bosch asked the exact same question but it’s inside in the warm. They’ve now emailed to say check the fluff filter isn’t blocked ( on a brand new machine really ??) Also check hose isn’t kinked. Bloody rubbish customer service
Re: new BOSCH – Classixx 7 WTA74200GB
Hi Don
It’s next to the Bosch washing machine in our kitchen. It’s ducted straight through the wall with the 4″ hose provided.
Re: hotpoint wf220 power flashing fast
Scrapped it and ordered a Bosch one. Hope I never see any hotpoint crap ever again.
Re: hotpoint wf220 power flashing fast
Yeah checked and all ok. I can see some scraping on the white plastic cover to the PCB , guess it got bashed when the spring snapped and the drum dropped. I’m going to take the motor out again and check it over.
Re: hotpoint wf220 power flashing fast
Just checked can’t see any loose or damaged wires. I took motor right out checked all over it and all seems fine. Cannot see any problems anywhere below the drum.
When you press start it does the door locked and wash light and starts to fill then after a few seconds there’s a click where I’m guessing the motor would normally start. Then as I say rinse hold and power button flash fast and it starts emptying and keeps going even after you can hear there is no water going down the drain.
Is it time for a new machine ?
Shame as I’m quite proud of myself keeping it going. I’ve changed the bearings and the motor brushes in the last couple of years.
Re: hotpoint wf220 not starting
Many thanks Iadom that’s done the trick , little bit noisy now but I’m guessing the brushes have to bed in slightly. Cheers for your help.

Don’t attempt to run it again until you have changed the brushes.
Yeah dont worry Im not running it , that was before I knew the brushes were knackered
Re: hotpoint wf220 not starting
Cheers, you think this is the cause of the non starting ? When I took the machine apart I turned the motor by hand awhile and check all connections after this I plugged it back in and managed to get the machine working. While it was going I could hear an arcing noise which I guess is the worn brushes. I then moved the machine to see if I could see the motor sparking, this caused the machine to stop working again.
Re: hotpoint wf220 not starting
Cheers Iadom, I’ve taken the motor out and taken a brush out to check and there is about 8mm of carbon sticking out where as pictures I’ve seen on the net show way more than that on new ones so I’m guessing they’re knackered.
How do I find the part number ? I’ve seen a few on the net listed as C00201861 and they look like mine but in the compatibility list WF220 isn’t listed. Anyone know if that’s the right code ?

Your insurance policy for a start. :rolls:
There is absolutely no need whatsoever to ‘live’ test an appliance, especially one as simple as a tumble dryer.
A simple continuity test with the mains plug removed is all that is required.
:rotfl:
Steady on mate calm down lol you’ve got me wrong there all I did was put my cable tester pen on the mains cable so not near any live terminals so no danger involved.Re: Bosch/Neff buying help
Many thanks guys for the replies I think I will go for John Lewis and the Neff. Bought a few things off them lately very good service.
I thought the Bosch would be cheaper than the Neff not the other way round.
Gotta replace my old Diplomat one I bought back when I fitted my kitchen. The power button went on it and I cant be bothered to replace it something else will probably go wrong with it anyway.
Re: FF92P mistral f/f
Update—– Hotpoint should be called NOpoint
The fridge gave up again so I have now bought a new Bosch to replace it.
So far in only about 7 years we have gone through
3 hotpoint washing machines (one only lasting a week)
2 Hotpoint tumble dryers
1 hotpoint fridge freezer
Will never buy Hotpoint ever again what absolute rubbish 👿
Re: FF92P mistral f/f
Update ordered and fitted just the Yellow evap thermistor and it didnt seem to work so turned off and forgot about it for a few days.
Turned it on the other day and worked ok but temps going up and down a lot then I found out that where the door had dropped on the closing side the switch was not closing so the fridge light was stuck on and the fridge was not staying cool. Added a couple of washers the the hinge packing the door up problem solved “touch wood”
