Re: Hotpoint washing, and washing, and washing….
Thanks for the replies.
Yes it’s programmed for this machine (as far as I know!). It was double checked too as I sent it back for the company to confirm it was working.
The heater and wires were ok when I put it back together and tested them. I’m planning on checking it out again to see if there is anything obvious happening.
I was hoping there was a simple reset sequence I could try but I can’t find anything on it.Re: Hotpoint WD420 Main PCB
Many thanks for your reply.
By plug and play do you mean the one from EMW will work without being programmed?Re: Hotpoint WD420 problems…
Jim, what do you mean by ‘triac’?
Looks like it might have to be a callout 🙁
Everything seems to check out ok, apart from the motor not spinning up!
Can’t quite understand why this happened when I was only checking out the dryer not working, and that was just the cut-out thingy (and a build up of fluff around the element!).
I still have some hair left, so I’ll continue pulling that out until I run out of options 🙂Re: Hotpoint WD420 problems…
Thank you for that. I’ll have a look.
(My handywork is never obvious :))Re: Hotpoint WD420 problems…
It’s only me again!
Checked the connection on the gizmo you suggested and it was loose. Powered up the machine and now have a different error code!
The power light is flashing (fast) and light number 4 (Time Saver) is flashing.
Any idea what this error is?
Forgot to mention, every time the machine is powered on the dryer fan powers up! Runs for a minute or two then stops. Very strange. It does this no matter what setting is on the front of the machine.Is it time for me to get a really big hammer out? 🙂
Re: Hotpoint WD420 problems…
Oh, one last thing (hopefully!). Do you have a part number for the ntc thingy and also the thermostat (assuming the other part is a thermostat rather than a thermal cut-out or similar!)?
Re: Hotpoint WD420 problems…
Many thanks once again for the quick response and answers. Much appreciated.
Re: Hotpoint WD420 problems…
Brilliant, I’ll check that tomorrow.
Could the ntc device fail and is it replaceable? (And what does ntc stand for?)Thank you very much for the advice.
