Re: Hotpoint WD62 Aquarius 1200
For the sake of completeness…
Fixed it, and for my favorite amount of money – nowt.
Problem exactly as iadom said, Managed to re-mount the magnet using extreme dexterity throught the hole in the midle of the plate without removing it.
Eternally grateful, If I need parts or a service guy in the future this will be the first place I come.

No way on earth that plate is coming out – do you use a small bearing puller?
definitely something loose behind it.

Re: Hotpoint WD62 Aquarius 1200
Ah, I do indeed have the FHP motor and that’s exactly the kind of helpful hint I was looking for. Does that plate just pull off? I was eyeing it suspiciously last night but could not see an easy way to remove it.
Thanks very much.

Ta for the reply.
I’ve checked all the wiring point to point (with the machine unplugged) and can’t find a problem with it.
Could you explain more what you mean by “earth fault”? Do you mean it’s not earthed or that the motor is earthing itself at some point in it’s rotation when it shouldn’t be? The motor seems to run absolutely fine for it’s magnificent 2 seconds.
I may be getting massively ahead of myself here, but but to me it looks like either the control or feedback circuitry for the motor has failed. I’m not really of a mind to diagnose this any further with the top off for obvious reasons.
If I could eliminate the speed sensor on the motor as a problem I’d quite happily take a punt on buying a new timer/controller. Is there any way I can thest that easily/safely?
