Re: Hotpoint BFI620 Won’t programme or start.
Have you tried pressing and holding the P button, sad to say the Indesit made dishwashers do have rather suspect electronics though.
Repairing most modern Indesit machines daunt many of those who have been in the trade for years. 😥
1st led flashing is supposed to signify water in the base.

Re: Hotpoint wmm 65a 1600 ultama
That motor should be a DC motor, you have the correct part number though. E30 is tacho fault. If you get the same with a new motor I would strongly suspect a wiring fault. Never had to change a Chopper board on these yet. The individual wiring harness for each block is available, motor to chopper board harness is a 1603764, less than a fiver so well worth a punt.

Re: Getting the belt on the tension pulley – Hpt condenser d
Front panel comes off easily on most Hotpoint models. The one exception was the early Creda based TL range, does come off but not as easy, however belt change on that one is, upside down, small lower front panel off, prise front forward, slip belt round drum( easier with door open), fit round shaft & jockey pulleys, refit front. Take care not to dislodge wiring to front stat and make sure vent tube is reseated correctly. There are no Hotpoint dryers on which should be changing belts from the back . About five minutes of a job on a TL model. Always assuming that you do not have forearms like a gorilla of course. 😆

Re: Boiling Zanussi
Just to update this thread. Customer reports that the machine has performed perfectly for past 19 days, on a full range of temperatures.

Re: Getting the belt on the tension pulley – Hpt condenser d
Do it from the front, take the front panel off completely on the earlier TDL stretchy belt models, why struggle through the vent hole and rear panel 😕 . It doesn’t take long to remove it. I loosen the two front screws on the motor bracket and don’t find it a problem to refit. On the later vented dryers with removable side panels the special tool is different to the one you have, there is a picture on here somewhere but I have been unable to locate it ATM. It is a real doddle to do these.

Re: Hotpoint WD865A Soap Drawer Backflushing
Thanks for letting us know the outcome.
The ball was doing its thing, it is there to float upwards on the initial fill to block off the sump and prevent the detergent from being flushed straight into the sump before a wash cycle. The cage is there to prevent all the gunge from getting into the pump but in your case it was overwhelmed, unfortunately the sump chamber incorporates the pressure chamber that controls the fill level pressure switch so the blockages often allow the machine to spin when there is still water in the drum.

Re: Hotpoint EW84K Electric Cooker
My Hotpoint BD31 oven timer will control both the top & bottom ovens but not at individually set times.
You can have both coming on at the same time or either one on its own.

Re: Hotpoint/Creda Dryer Timer (JK6077) Required – Urgent
Part number is actually a 1701221 😉 the sort of part that is rarely available as a used item.
You may get lucky but I doubt your wife will wait that long. 🙂
No reason why that dryer should not last another five years or more if it has the grey plastic front duct. If the filter slots into a galvanised metal duct at the front then that type has front bearing & sealing problems and investing in a new timer may not be wise. There was a major modification including a complete new drum, duct, stats, seals fan etc,etc, to cure this fault.Jim.

Alerted at work today to remove the above machine from display immediately, health and safety issue.
Just wondered if anyone knew what the problem was?
It is quite likely that it is your health & safety that is at risk. just imagine all the ‘satisfied customers’ :rolls: after your blood. 😉
Jim.Re: wma9 bearings
I have used Bosch titanium drill from B&Q. Up to now the same bit has done at least four drum supports, I bought another bit just in case but have not needed to use it yet.
