Re: Hotpoint WD420g won’t drain

Thanks for the reply iadom.

Pump measures 165ohms but is not getting 240vac when drain programme is selected. Drum is empty so maybe pump won’t switch on if there’s no water, I am not sure?

If the pressure switch failed would that stop the pump kicking in? It’s an easy swap if it is and cheap but no fault lights are showing.

When I cleared out the filter the large flat pieces of plastic did not look like it clogged the filter. There was no gunk to be seen anywhere apart from a 20p and a button. Pump was also clear of gunk or debris. Water rate might be reduced but it still would have got through.

This washer dryer never fit in my kitchen anyway but it’s lasted a long time and I can no longer be bothered with it. I could probably fault find the pcb but that might mean I am stuck with it for another few years. So I have spent enough time on it.

I am now after a narrow width replacement washer or washer/dryer. Follow this link for details

Thanks for help

The Heater is open circuit and everything else seems okay!

So I’ll replace the heater and see if everything works!

I was expecting a response but I guess I already knew possible fixes.

Thanks anyway
