Re: washing machine no power
Hi, yes I unpluged the wiring block on the filter, this is where I checked for the power coming into the machine.
Re: washing machine no power
Am back again, Had another go at the washing machine today, double checked the things I already looked plus checked the power cable filter and thats ok, replaced the door switch thats ok, replaced the front panel pcb, checked the motor brushes ok, I think the only thing left to replace is the main control panel. any other things I should check before I get another control panel. :hmm:

Need some help how to fix this one please, 🙂Re: hotpoint Aquarius wf321
Big smile on mi face washing machine now working fine, its surprising what one little loose wire can do and thinking about it with the vibrations that a machine can give off during a spin cycle a wire can and does come off and also a simple thing as not turning the water supply back on (douhh ) to the machine as I found out, anyway thank you Jim for pointing me in the right direction to start with and I must say all you guys do a good job here :salute:
Oh and I did say sorry to the missus for blaming her in the first place but i think it was at least half warranted as she does over load it so lets see how long it is before she starts doing it again. :rolls:
Regards Karl.
Re: hotpoint Aquarius wf321
Well if I could kick my own arse I would do, after going through the steps I had done on the machine which was very little I suddenly remembered that I forgot to turn the cold water back on to the machine which must have given the problem of nothing working as posted in my last post, so at the moment the machine is running and I am wating to see if it now goes full cycle from start to finnish, will post back soon with a result.
Re: hotpoint Aquarius wf321
Hello again
Well today I took the back plate off the washing machine to see if I could locate the heating element, it was so easy because it was right in front of my eyes and guess what a wire had come off its terminal so I thought bingo sorted popped it back on made sure it was secure put the back plate back on and put pipes back then washer back in place plugged in machine switched on EXPECTING all to be fine and nothing no lights on to indicate its working as it should do all I could see was a faint light on the reduced creases bit, its now more defuncked than it was before grrrrrrrr, help help any clue as to whats wrong 😕 😀
Re: hotpoint Aquarius wf321
Hi iadom
Ummm, I dont have multimeter but if I try and do another wash and just feel at the glass in the door this should tell me if the water is heating up or not ???? :rolls:
Re: Naffed off
Hi and thanks guys for your input so far, update the dryer has not gone to the tip, bought a new element and stat kit off ebay £30 cheap option to having a working dryer again. BUT when I decided on this option I checked to see what went wrong with it in the first place, so out with the multimeter only to find that the stats are fine but the element had blown so me thinks something wrong with the wiring sequence somewhere, maybe my fault from last time it was changed so I dont want to put the connections back if they was in the wrong order and blow the element again. and having no diagram am what you might call well stuck basically. Hence I am here again asking for your help 😆 . Karl.
Re: For your information.
Hi WQ, Even tho I do not know you I just read this post while I am here,and I would just like to say sorry for your loss and god bless, it makes me feel how insignificant my little problem is compared. Karl
Re: Naffed off
Hi, I understand all three points you have pointed out, like I say this would be the third time, and after the second time it happened I pointed out all three points you mentioned especially point number 3 to the other two users of the machine, as last time the element literally melted which is what I thought had happened this time again but the element is intact and no wires adrift, ok the stats might have gone i don’t know but what a ball ache having to do that each time instead of just pushing a button to reset it. by the way one of the other two users is a teenager trying to tell a teenager anything is a waste of time in one ear and out the other as they don’t have to pay for repairs.
Re: hotpoint WM52 first edition.
Hi peeps, took the motor out today and the commutator looks ok ,gave it a clean while I could, made sure the brushes worked and fitted. refitted motor and tryed it again with no joy. SO, has the motor got a thermal trip inside that will have blown ? and can it be replaced, the timmer on the machine seems to work ok.
