does it need a new pump or is it jammed with glass or the like ?

take off wrapper and control panel and look for the pump

could be

A) motor

B) shorted wire

C) pcb relay stuck

did the motor turn before the fuse blew ?

not back in till friday.
did junk a lot of these motors but may have one around i can take the fuse out of

Dave

quite often there is a small hole on the reset stat between the terminals where you can insert a stiff wire. press gently till it goes click

was the new heater the same make ?

Dave

[electrofix]

all i can think of is the motor does not start causing the heater to overheat

often you can reset the stats did you try that ?

a lot of machines have an anti grease seal

most customers dont need it

if assuming either 2 or 3 reads to brushes then thermal cutout failed

Dave

[electrofix]

ok put your multimeter on a low ohm scale

place one lead on one of the brushes then try ever contact on the motor connector. disconnect motor before trying. you should get a reading on 2 of them

if you dont thermal overload blown

Dave

[electrofix]

the board only supplies the motor so that is why your motor is not turning

the tracks on the board that blew are designed to act like a fuse and will have blown when the brush shorted

if you know how to test the board you can repair it but you have to know how to test a bridge rectifier

other than that it needs replacing

some timers had a fuse soldered to the timer board

google search [h=3]2817690100[/h]
you will find this board at the top of the machine on the right in a cradle

remove board and check for blown tracks as this board has fusible tracks in case of shorts

Dave

the boards sofware remembers the setting on non volatile memory

this is not happening so its a board fault

unless there is a button cell on the board a bit like a computer bios to keep the memory. dont know not seen the board to know

Dave

[electrofix]

probably get complete hinges and screws

but its will be a metric thread so you should be able to pick something up

Dave

[electrofix]

does sound like a board problem and the bad news is Hotpoint boards have to be programmed so cant be fitted by anyone without the correct gear
