Re: HOTPOINT WD71 AQUARIUS 1200 – door issue

Damn! It’s only just been replaced…. 😥

Does that place in Cumbria repair them too?

Re: HOTPOINT WD71 AQUARIUS 1200 – door issue

Thanks for your reply iadom

Have just checked and the door latch is fine, it just doesn’t seem to recognise that the door is closed, and lock…have tried with a screwdriver, to no avail….

Could it be control board related?

Re: WD71 – Control PCB replaced…now NEW error E30

Can’t find any fault with the wiring….I’m at a loss….may just have to declare defeat… 🙁

Re: WD71 – Control PCB replaced…now NEW error E30

I have tested the motor with my (underworked) multimeter, and get the following:

RPM sensor – 137.9 ohms
Brushes – 3.1 ohms
Field windings – 0.7-1.2 ohms

Will check the other wiring tonight for breaks….

Thanks iadom. Sadly, have searched thoroughly for the glass fuse, and it just doesn’t seem to be there…looks like our machine is one of the old ones before they started fitting them….

Re: WD71 – Control PCB replaced…now NEW error E30

Hi Gerry,

Yes, those brushes are almost new, and hardly worn….
I just thought the PCB would show more signs, and I’m not brilliant with a Multimeter…

Re: HOTPOINT WD71 – Replacing a PCB

Ok, I think we’ll give it a try…we already had a new interlock, but hadn’t fitted it yet… 🙁

Is there anywhere online I can find the configuration sequence?

Many thanks once again…

[attachment=1:1iog4jtq]20160727_090844[1].jpg[/attachment:1iog4jtq]Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I think it’s the control board that’s blown, I’ve attached a picture, showing the damage.

The machine has been taking some time to get going, indicating that the door needs to be shut for a short period of bleeps, before getting going, so we thought the interlock switch may be at fault?

Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated…

Thanks
