Re: Hotpoint ultima washing machine

OK well I will have to fail to understand why a switch doesn’t alter its continuity when operated lol. So does anybody know where abouts I could get a mainboard for this machine thats not going to tear my wallet in half (like I said its not even my machine) or if its ok to just solder in replacement bits like the transistor and transformer thats gone?

door closes, switch is activated, door locks.. feed supplied to board

I gathered it would do something like that, but I failed to find a difference in continuity across any of the 3 pins when operating manually the door shut part of the switch which I would expect to find as I’d expect the mainboard needs to know the door is shut before it tells the lock to operate.

the lock wont switch till its ‘locked’

the neutral on the board will be cooked

Ah ten points lol!! Its a WMA61.

I can understand the lock not switching until the lock is depressed but how does it output the signal to say the door is closed?
