    Module is part no: 00497487

    It comes with configuration coding instructions a copy of which I have and can email you if you get stuck. 😀

    Lift that metal latch (on top of the smaller of the two silver hinges) upwards. Once it’s fully extended (on both hinges) hold the door firmly and close to a point where both latches catch against the stop. Then lift the complete door clear.

    Can you point me in the direction of the link for the whirlpool trade access so i can register. Thanks

    If it were only that simple eh? You have to be, and want to be, a Whirlpool service agent.

    Re: Neff S5453X1GB/74 error codes?

    Control boards don’t self destruct so the onus is not on Neff. Though they would never entertain any form of guarantee on the part anyway.

    Primary suspects toward blowing of these boards is :-

    Dispenser solenoid
    Water point diverter
    Circulating pump stator
    Rinse Aid leaking on wiring harness
    Rodent damage

    Being serious for a moment I wonder what a “Martindale test” involves and which “WP’s” insist on it?

    Even that Whirlpool tumble dryer recall video concentrated purely on safety testing of the appliance only and with no reference toward the actual house mains supply. Add to that a very recent thread on the subject of wall sockets and those of us that shy away from going near them all makes for great entertaining reading.

    ….and where has lee8 gone? He would love all this. 😉

    A goose, you’ve stuffed it I’m afraid it’s a new board or a squirt of Fairy in the bowl and on with the Marigolds.

    Darn! I wish I could share the joke but Googling ‘Dale Boys’ drew a blank. (Some obscure Lancastrian football team maybe?)

    Well if you would be kind enough to furnish us with the make and most importantly THE MODEL NUMBER, we could look up the parts you require and potential cost. 😀

    Re: Martindale socket tester safety recall.

    Megger and Martindale is very much ‘standard speak’ in the trade. The alternative would involve a long winded request for ‘voltage, polarity and earthing checks’ which, for the average Joe Bodger, could be confusing.

    If you bought them direct from Siemens they would have included the appropriate instruction leaflet on that. I’m guessing you bought them from eSpares. 😉

    Re: Hotpoint WMFUG742

    Electricity cables don’t go anywhere near window frames, so what you have there is a phone line. An electrician would check the voltage levels to your property as well as its earth loop impedance. So from that one has to assume all is in order as far as the supply is concerned.

    What is left is my rather comedic but in essence truthful summary of the way certain Hotpoint machines behave. It’s history shows there is an underlying problem of which repairs have failed to fully resolve. Your machine is still within the first years guarantee, and given the detailed reports to Hotpoint’s service management, can only and logically result in them providing you with a suitable replacement machine. I suggest you pursue that course.

    Well Tom overhead power cables are far thicker than regular phone lines and should they enter your property then they are often split into two separate cables with large plastic trunking protection.

    The point about overhead power lines is that they are more susceptible to voltage fluctuation especially ‘off peak’. Though your machine is voltage rated within certain acceptable tolerances overhead power supplies can result in voltages above and beyond and spurious in nature.

    It’s just a thought on my behalf and, after all, we are talking Hotpoint washing machine here. They have electronics so ‘flaky’ that if the cat walks past or the budgerigar passes wind the machine can stop and flag up an error code so random you may as well add that number to your next Euromillions draw!
