Re: Hotpoint WF560 Problems
@ Madangler1 – You’re absolutely right.
Thanks for all the responses so far.
I pulled the board last night, on first look the damage was apparent.
Cleaned up the burned contacts with some isopropyl alcohol but apart from this ( which hasn’t burned all the way through)
So I spent some time going through it all with a magnifying glass, there was no other track damage.
I tested for continuity on those nearby connectors and tracks. and none showed an open circuit.
Finally I noticed this
( right side of the 2 ) from what I make out some sort of surface mount resistor which shows no continuity at all ( all others do)
So I am guessing I need a new board.

Hi,
Yep that’s right it is however I didn’t have to cut anything off the block connector in mine, it just slotted in with the wires exiting towards the rear of the machine as described.

Hi thanks for the response.
No I haven’t checked the brushes.
Basically opened the switch and manually operated the mechanism with an ( insulated screwdriver) to complete the circuit. Which work and the machine started its fill cycle, release the switch and the machines power light blinks in quick succession, and the cycle stops. So at least that part is doing its job.
