Re: Brand new WD420 ran once and now flashing error lights

oh well, just need to wait in all day tomorrow for the engineer – working til 4am so that will be really great if he turns up at 8am!

It might have been easier for me to buy a scrubbing board, bucket & mangle!

Cheers for all your advice.

Great, thats for the info. What do you mean TRYING to wind me up, think its already acheived that!

So I take it, flashing lights across the top ie door lock, wash, rinse & spin, final Spin and dry are user correctable errors like door not closed, no water, blocked drain

and

flashing option lights are faults more serious which basically require an engineer to fix without invalidating the waranty?

Hi,

Thanks for all your comments – just another thing this morning the disco lights on the front of the unit are now in a different pattern!

What error is the Power light and the final spin (4th across from the left) flashing now?

Thanks for the reply – I feared it would be something like that. Will have to wait til the engineer to come then.

Typical, just seen all the posts on the boards which kind of surprised me because Hotpoint is quite a reputable name. I was not impressed that theres no mention of flashing lights mean a problem in the manual. Spent about 15 minutes waiting, thinking the drying was about to kick in. If the manual said “If the power light flashes then theres a problem” it would have made it less frustrating!

Cheers for your help and putting my mind at rest.
