Re: Hotpoint BF1620
I know this is a bit late, I had a similar problem, from switching it on after about 2mins it would stop with LED 2&4 flashing. Reading the forums it was anything from the heater, Control module, blocked pipe or pump?
Checked the heater which was OK about 25-27 Ohms, the pump was ok as it was draining ok, on checking the control board, found the connector attached to FST2 on the corner of the board ‘cooked’ which had also taken out the PCB track. Put a new link in checked and is now working ok. Not quite sure how the machine checks the heater is U/S unless it expects it to get to a certain temperature within a certain time? or checks to see if current is being drawn, (not sure if this module is clever enough for this?) but then it should work on the ‘Rinse’ cycle only shouldn’t it as this requires no heating? As I say this was my experience. Hope it helps someone?
