Re: Hoover WDM130 fills then stops

Thanks for all the help…… Final solution to the saga….. module…. it controls everything, even the timer so it stops too but again the little drive motor is switched on the neutral so it still shows power if tested locally to earth or neutral, bloody confusing testing a washing machine, so module changed , washing getting done as we speak

Re: Hoover WDM130 fills then stops

Thanks Dave

Found out that Hoover do a visit for £80 and parts are free for a 2 yr old machine so swallowed my pride and called them . Parts were going to cost about £150 in total to cover all the angles , you would have thought as the module on these machines controls the motor for all its actions and the heater and a lot of other stuff something would happen when you manually advance the timer but nothing did so knowing the timer motor had power but no movement I can only suspect both could be faulty!!
Interesting fact about these machines is that they are switched on the neutral rather than live power so things you test have power but possibly dont work as they are switched elsewhere. Being a heating engineer thats the opposite of what boilers do, neutrals are always back to the mains. Thanks for the input, any boiler problems give us a shout.!!

Re: Hoover WDM130 fills then stops

Thanks for the tip but tested all the continuities and checked the brushes, did find that the programme selector/timer motor had power but wasnt advancing the program so I think we are down to either the module which appears to govern everything or the timer/ programmer, anyone had any experience with these machines?? Nothing happens if I manually advance the timer a touch at a time apart from the fill/ empty bit. Washing is stacking up!!!

Oh and I have just found out that even though the heater element has power both sides it isnt heating the water……… clues anyone??
