Re: Hotpoint WF 860 – wont finish – stops on 1 min to go

Tried mate – 1200 possibles , tried other searches but all to no avail !
Sure i`ve seen something but i don`t think the search facility on here is ………

`selective` enough . 😈

Re: is this right?

I was looking for courses a few years ago and came across the same bloke . After two `phone calls his major pitch seemed to be repairing white goods was a license to print money .
…….. and get away with anything !! I decided to give it a miss , not for financial reasons – just came across as a cowboy / tosser .

Luckily Mr. Dixon came to the rescue . 🙂

Re: Hotpoint WMA60 wont do final pump out and release door

Agree with you there mr. iadom , the customer called with a `no spin` problem – pump checked out fine . A test wash confirmed it wasn`t emptying and therefore carried on distributing ad-infinitum . Checking the pump wiring i noticed the badly chaffed main motor loom and decided to sort it out anyway …..
Ran a couple of quick test washes and all was well . I know the motor loom and pump are on seperate circuits and the chaffing usually leads to a spin problem but the most annoying thing is not knowing HOW i fixed it :rolls:
bloody witchcraft 😈

Re: Hotpoint WMA60 wont do final pump out and release door

Just sorted one today – Turned out to be chaffed wires rubbing on the front brick , quite common so i`m led to believe . :rolls:
To check them properly the front panel needs to come off :-

*UNPLUG* … lid off , plinth off , soap tray screws out (3) , door seal off , interlock off , front panel off (lift), brick off ……..
check wiring loom running down the right hand side paying close attention to the area which may be rubbing on the brick . the wires don`t have to be seperated , chaffing through to the copper core is enough to play electrical havoc .
Good luck 😉

Re: Hotpoint WF321 Panel Lights Constantly Flicker

Had two in the last week . Easy fix !!
Largest in the 3 capacitors on the main board rated 680u – 10v ….
Domed the top so sweated it off and replaced by a farnell item , cost all of 17 pence . Downside is you can only buy them in tens , i can live with that though … 😆

Re: can anyone recomend a good training course

Hi , i fancied a change of direction so took graham Dixons 10 day course last April. Really enjoyable , a good mix of lads in the trade and `newbies` like myself . It`ll give you a decent grounding in what to expect and a sound /SAFE knowledge of the electrical side of things . The only downside is its in Hull ….. :rolls: 😆 😆

I`m still employed in print and took the course as a `plan B` as printing is all i`ve done since school AND …. I may be relocating to London ..
Since the course i`m helping out a recycling centre in Leeds on my days off shift , mostly bearing work but you certainly learn how to strip and rebuild a machine , something we only did once on the course but i find quite enjoyable in a bizzare kind of way …… 😯
Next step ?? dunno really – anyone need their bags carrying around the Leeds area 8)
No competition as i`m hoping to set up in London !!

……. and if you`re reading this Graham – it`s still witchcraft ….
