Re: Hotpoint FDL570 problem
Tested heater, checked door switch, all good, installed new replacement module and can confirm smart card reader does indeed program this model of dishwasher and all working again now 🙂
Might need the other control board as well though with the switches efc because only seems to be working on some modes, but it is working again and no error lights displayed 🙂 so hopefully all good.
Re: Hotpoint FDL570 problem
Going to assume my smart card reader is compatible and try it,
The electronic control module is part,
C00261863
Which says it works on,
The above spare part is suitable to work on the following models of appliance:
HOTPOINT FDF780AHOTPOINT FDF780GHOTPOINT FDF780KHOTPOINT FDF780PHOTPOINT FDF780XHOTPOINT FDF784A.RHOTPOINT FDF784G.RHOTPOINT FDF784K.RHOTPOINT FDF784P.RHOTPOINT FDF784X.RHOTPOINT FDL570AHOTPOINT FDL570A.RHOTPOINT FDL570GHOTPOINT FDL570G.RHOTPOINT FDL570PHOTPOINT FDL570P.RHOTPOINT FDL570XHOTPOINT FDL570X.RHOTPOINT FDM550PHOTPOINT FDM550P.RHOTPOINT FDM554PHOTPOINT FDM554P.RHOTPOINT LFS114BUKHOTPOINT LFS114WUKHOTPOINT LFT04UK/TAHOTPOINT LFT114UKHOTPOINT LFT228AUKHOTPOINT LST216AUKHOTPOINT SDL510GHOTPOINT SDL510PAlmost all of those models are on the compatible list for my smart card reader. I’d imagine the smart card reader is more module specific rather than model or programming specific.
So case of it either can write to the module or it can’t and it must be able to in this case otherwise none of the models the module fits would be listed as compatible with my smart card reader.
Smart card says 8KB and card reader I have is for 8KB so hopefully all fine.
Re: Hotpoint WMD962P(UK) Problem
New display board, and all is fixed and working now 🙂 so card reader successfully programmed the new ecu previously.
Re: Hotpoint WMD962P(UK) Problem
Yep, I know this now… The old control board had a sticker on it saying “resoldering ok” which to me implies it was a faulty reject board that was repaired then fitted to a brand new machine.
Pcbs shouldn’t need resoldering when new!
Re: Hotpoint WMD962P(UK) Problem
Considering on the machine, there is only 2 control boards, the LCD display board and main control board I wouldn’t of thought there can be much else wrong with the machine. To eliminate other components I can try unplugging things.
Main control board, even though it hadn’t seemingly failed, I now have a spare, and I’ve also got the latest software revision and board… Oddly enough, the original board seemed to of been factory faulty? It said “resoldering ok” on it… But why would you resoldering a working board, and as above the cost of the part and the programming came to probably only a little more than the callout charge.
Still cheaper than a new machine.
Re: Hotpoint WMD962P(UK) Problem
Nope it’s over 5 years old now, as I never paid the normal price for a new board, I got the smart card for £10 in the end and I’ve got a buyer for the smart card reader at same price I paid. So all in all, cost me £90 to change the main control board and program it, only the display board which is going to put me over , warranty wouldnt of been void anyway as unless they keep detailed records of every part installed from factory, there’s no way for them to know parts have been replaced, it looks identical to how I found it.
Left machine unplugged for 30 minutes, and it now powers up fine like before the repair, powers on, then shuts off after a few seconds. But won’t power on again until left unplugged for a while… But programming was fine, it came up with the words hello before shutting off.
Shouldn’t be much else that can be at fault now other than the display board.
Re: Hotpoint WMD962P(UK) Problem
Right, got the card today.
When I had first installed the new board, it was powering on, flashing then going off again.
I programmed it today, by inserting the card reader with card into machine… then powering up the machine.
It flashed green for a while indicating it was programming, then stayed solid green for a few minutes indicating it had finished.
Unplugged the machine, then plugged it back in again and its not powering on at all now.
So doesn’t look like changing the board has fixed anything. Going to try a display board next.
Re: Hotpoint WMD962P(UK) Problem
Hope it’s compatible anyway lol.
It’s, C00272306
This page,
http://www.spares4appliances.co.uk/home … der-p97960
http://www.yourspares.co.uk/parts/hotpo … 72306.aspx
Says compatible with,
Hotpoint WMD962PUK
So unless that page is wrong I’m hoping it is compatible.
Re: Hotpoint WMD962P(UK) Problem
Hi, it should be compatible as I checked the indesit part number of it, and my washing machine was on the list of compatible models.
Re: Hotpoint WMD962P(UK) Problem
Well I’ve changed the main control board for a brand new part (which I got less than half price) got a smart card reader 2nd hand.. just waiting for smart card to arrive.
Is it normal though for an un-programmed board to power up the LCD, flash a load of lights, then shut off the screen?
Or do I still likely have a fault?
Guess I will find out when I get the smart card in the post to program it?
Does seem to be staying on though for longer than before!
