Re: Hot point Aquarius wf560 flashing lights
The left hand option buttons can have different features so for fault codes they are designated as 1 to 5 from top to bottom.
Codes are HERE
Re: Hotpoint TCD 8336P/Z1 leaking from the back
Does look like a Whirlpool, not as familiar with that machine as far as leaks are concerned TBH. 🙁
Good news is the fire safety recall doesn’t apply. 🙂
Re: Hotpoint TCD 8336P/Z1 leaking from the back
If it is not that old then it could be based on a Whirlpool dryer, wouldn’t have expected it to be labled a TCD though?
Re: Creda W220VW repair or replace
A set of new brushes and changing the door interlock plus the pump and seal should get you another five years out of it.
Re: Hotpoint TCD 8336P/Z1 leaking from the back
This is a screen grab from a Hotpoint TCD UK model.
The best way to clean the condenser is with a hose pipe or better still a pressure washer.
Re: Hotpoint TCD 8336P/Z1 leaking from the back
That is a bit worrying, it suggests you have never cleaned out the condenser, something that should be done on a very regular basis, at the very least once a month for moderate use machines.
Do you have the instruction manual, details of all cleaning procedures are in that.
Basically there should be three catches that flick round to allow you to pull out the metal condenser.
Of course I am describing a UK model of Hotpoint TCD dryer but it should be identical.Alternatively can you post a picture of the lower front of the dryer with the lower front panel dropped down?
Re: Creda W220VW repair or replace
If the bearings are still sound then I would go with a new seal and pump. Have the motor brushes ever been changed?
Re: Creda W220VW repair or replace
If there is no sign of a round black or white pump filter then you have the screwed drum, if so then the first pump is the one you want. It does however mean your machine was made before 2005. 😉
They could well have been using up some of the older Hotpoint chassis parts.
Re: Hotpoint WML520 Aquarious 6kg
It is more Indesit than Hotpoint, the wiring connections and plugs are not the only weak points on these machines sadly. 🙁
Also you should look at the ends of the brushes, they should be quite shiny, not rough and pitted.
Re: Creda W220VW repair or replace
Take care with that pump, this machine is between 14 and 10 years old, the later models have a sealed drum so use a different pump.
You can tell which type you have by removing the lower front plinth. Behind that will be either a flat red plastic disc or an unscrewable pump filter at the bottom right.
The pump that Dave linked to above is the correct one if you have the flat plastic disc on the right.
Correct pump for the sealed drum is HERE
Re: No display on machine and continuos filling
If the water stops filling as soon as you remove the power then it sounds like a very expensive main pcb failure. 🙁
Re: Hotpoint TCD 8336P/Z1 leaking from the back
I think this dryer is the same as the UK models that have been subject to a major recall in the UK for a modification to prevent a possible fire. Has yours been checked or had the modification done?
Likely cause of fault is a blocked drain channel at the very back of the chamber that holds the condenser unit. Take out the condenser and reach right into the chamber as far as you can, you will be able to feel the drain channel running along the back.
Re: Hotpoint WML520 Aquarious 6kg
Checking the motor carbon brushes would be the first logical step.
