Re: Hotpoint SDW60 – electrical fault?

Thanks for your prompt responses Iadom. I’ve just tipped the machine; no sign of any water leaking. So it looks like a new pcb is required! :eeek: – or perhaps a trip to the tip 💡

It’s disapointing that these ‘modern’ machines have such a short life expectancy; unlike my 27 year old Servis Quartz washing machine that’s still going strong 😀 – bought in the days when Margaret Thatcher was encouraging us to ‘Buy British’ 8)

Re: Hotpoint SDW60 – electrical fault?

Other stuff got in the way. However, I fitted new AMP tags for the heater connection last night and then programmed the machine to run through a cycle. Everything seemed okay – until about half way through when I noticed a slight water leak from underneath. I switched off the machine and traced the leak to one of the hoses to the heater where I hadn’t tightened up a jubilee clip properly 😳 . When I tried to run the machine again, the pump(s) could be heard running, though I couldn’t hear that water was being drawn through the supply pipe. After about a minute, the ‘eco’ and ‘pre’ LEDs started flashing and the machine stopped. This, according to the instruction book, is the error code suggesting a blocked filter; I removed and cleaned the filter, emptied the sump using a Vax, then tried the machine again, only to find the same issue to occur again! I’ve since tried to run the machine on different cycles; the same happened each time. 🙁

Any ideas?

If it is the case the pcb is playing up, if it helps:-
– Full model number: SDW60P.C
– Serial number: 903238373
– Type Number: LS08-EVO3C

Thanks for your prompt response.

It does indeed have ‘Made in China’ on the rating label 😯

I haven’t put anything back together yet – will do this tomorrow, fitting new AMP tags as you suggest.
