i take it its on the back of the drum, not in the heater?

is what i use, and im sure others do too

agreed but petr chec wants raping with a rotating cactus for that howler

[helo_75]

because it switches off while the heater’s on ( or isnt as the case is)

the machine then waits till it’s defrosted, and theres where the problem lies

faulty heater?

[helo_75]

actually – (and from me, this is rare) i quite like these dryers

the build up of water is usually caused by the hole from the rear of the condenser to the pump is blocked, thats all

yes i fix a lot of them, but its the faults that keep us, the engineers going…

i nearly ALWAYS change the capacitor, and i rarely go back for a while

[helo_75]

or me………

not long before hotpoint join them

[helo_75]

nope its perfectly normal, most modern machines use very little water

i take it the machine is washing and cleaning your clothes properly, and they come out clean?

its fine, worry about it not

[helo_75]

well, door lock wires come directly from pcb, so yep, has to be

and theres more than 1 pcb /eprom for that model too………

[helo_75]

yes, we know

trust me , we KNOW

[helo_75]

has to be said, ive changed a couple of tubs, but theyre not THAT bad

paddles are a problem, but other than that.. not bad at all

now, the wd440? that should have a thread of its own

[helo_75]

all well and good john paul

board identification for the customer isnt always easy

but, if your insistant… you need to know whether the board has a j10 connection or not

next, the eprom, or software variant

several issued

1 ) hot and cold fill
2 ) cold fill
3 ) cold fill (2 of) with ‘hot’ flush
4 ) new heater box

isnt the easiest thing to figure, and this would require some input from the customer, emw cant be responsible for the eprom programming – what if some informations wrong? it simply wont work

are you trade johnpaul? do you have trade access?
if not your missing out on some healthy debate and excellent tech help

hope this post helps

[helo_75]

you dont just need a pcb.. youll need an erom, and thats dependant on variant/heater box type/ valves fitted

to be honest it would be cheaper to have hotpoint fit a new board and eprom, it would certainly be your cheapest option

bloody annoying, paying them to fix something they couldnt build properly

[helo_75]

question?

does your grill have 2 heat settings? i.e full or half?

maybe your using the wrong setting ny putting it on half grill?

if not, theres a good chance the grill element is faulty

[helo_75]

if its intermittent, its more likely to be a pcb fault tbh
