erm, what u tryin to say banksie?

[helo_75]

its on the pcb itself

indesit/hotpoint do not sell the relay as a serviceable item

it all dependes how good you are, and how comfortable you are with electronics…

the CORRECT thing to do is to change the pcb and programme it with a laptop

OR send it to http://emwelec.co.uk/ who can repair it fior you

its not a cheap repair and are notoriously unreliable

theres one trader on here who will no longer repair f8 faults

im sure hell be along shortly

[helo_75]

nah, not if you spend PROPER money

look, its basically costing…. you will egt what you pay for

like don says, mid-high range bosch come with a 2yr warranty and have a great repair network if rquired…please dont listen to everything you hear, ask, we’re always honest and are more inclined to advise whats best for you

whatever you decide, good luck

[helo_75]

as i suspected, its a heater relay problem

it will re-occur, its just a matter of when, rather than if

especially when the machine is fully loaded

good luck

e60 is a generic heating issue

without going into diagnostics its difficult to be exact

e61 – Heater unit faulty. Wiring faulty. NTC sensor
incorrectly calibrated/out of position. Electronic
board faulty.

e62 – Heater unit faulty. Wiring faulty. Electronic board
faulty.

e63 – Thermostat faulty (replace heater unit). Heater unit
faulty. Wiring faulty. Electronic board faulty.

take your pick… but if its intermittant, its more likeley a pcb issue

do you clean your condenser regularly?

[helo_75]

but there is no better cure than removing the condenser and REMOVING the ball of fluff thats covering the hole

pushing it away only lasts untill the water washes the fluff back

if you close your eyes and feel behind the condenser, u can feel the shaped moulding of the base, and pull out whats there

[helo_75]

unfortunately not

it would appear the pcb is faulty
have you checked the pump?
the service hole is for hotpoint.comet engineers to attatch their laptops , fault find and reprogramming

the general public have little or no access to the correct equipment

to help correctly, from top to bottom, the top light being 1, which light is flashing? ( i.e light 4)
and we can advise better
thanks

will cure your problem

plug out
top off
right hand side panel ( looking from front)
capacitor is near motor

hope that helps…. shimples

[helo_75]

and how would that fill the immigrants pockets with our hard earned cash?

[helo_75]

would u like to tell me why u think the evaporator cover will be the first thing to go?

because from my perception, its because the cavity fills with gas, hence the explosion is liable to be centralised, so will push everything outwards, ie pushing the evaporator cover back towards the evaprator, the door ooutwards

given us a hell of a lot of work, with plenty more to come

the cure?

BUILD THEM PROPERLY IN THE FIRST PLACE

[helo_75]

made by the china refrigeration company
#gen p/num is 48010687

if that helps

[helo_75]

oh dear

u need to take the top off

look at the centre of the plastic drum, if its bolted together then you can access the bearings

if theres no bolts, and the seem is welded, u got massive problems

[helo_75]

if its got one of the dreaded welded tubs, theres no chance of replacement of bearings?

what does it sound like when you turn it by hand, is there any up/down play?

[helo_75]

well

id be checking the plug top

but that faults usually a relay fault

[helo_75]

i think hes found a job..
