Yes dave could be right here as they need to work on a set water pressure I think between 0.5bar -3bar
It has a power board on it I would be checking voltage to the heater or suspect something on board nit happy the heaters on these are pretty good part number for heater is C00729743
and part number for modules areC00729697C00856739
Dave is right but these ovens don’t have thermostats they are mechanical devices the have ptc which are electronic way of measuring temperature to ge a accurate temperature of the oven needs to be set to 200 degrees and the temperature needs to be taken in the centre of the oven

some do have a small hole in one of the studs for a tiny self tap
As dave has shown the door lock in the picture it comes with a screw in the bag
I just want to mention one thing about the models your looking at go with the zeolite model as you will have improved drying as regards cleaning as mentioned the heat pumps are the same on series 6 and series 8 so stick with the series 6 as the 8 you are paying more for as Don has said and make sure you set up the home connect on the appliance as it will do automatic updates
This could be programmed in to the software on machine like on the hoover washing machines weighing the load and determine the load rinses etc as if the machine is finishing the programme I don’t think this is a issue
The hotpoint is a very old reliable machine that is easy to work on but bear in mind that you are try to do somethings on that machine that its not designed for 30 degree wash and altering the water flow will affect the wash times and I would be surprised of it starting to rust at that age
The bosch is one of the best built machines of the wae range they made bear in mind that the parts will be more expensive every year on these machines and yes you can change bearings but they are not as easy to do as the hotpoint.
If I had the choice I’d go with the boschWell from what you are explaining it sound like the heat pump needs replacing the check water light flashes to indicate any fault on the machine
A little tip here to make removing and refitted the belt is to loosen the motor fixing other bottom of dryer it gives you a little extra movement
