Re: Hotpoint WD420 Drying / Flashing Lights Overnight Resets

Hiya folks
Many thanks for the suggestions – I had a FSE check the unit again today, and Hotpoint have agreed to replace the machine for a new one. 😆
BTW – the machine is in the house (kitchen) and I cannot see if it is damp related – the wndows are not steamed up or anything.
Many thanks for all your help.

Re: Hotpoint WD420 Drying / Flashing Lights Overnight Resets

Thanks for the responce – the unit does not have a display, it just flashes various lights to show the code.
All I can say is slow On/Off which suggests ‘ machine has a problem’, and the ‘Dry Extra Heat’ fast – suggesting a drying problem (funny as it appears when drying…)
Thanks
James

Hiya Jim
Many thanks for the swift reply. The unit was a replacement for a 8 year old Indesit that failed under extended warranty, so was straight from Indesit. We do have an engineer booked in to visit, but I will take on board the comments.
Annoyingly the machine passes all diagnostics (USB into rear of machine!), but does show that an error has occured.
The strange thing is the reset if not on the dry program…
Thanks again – James
