Re: Hotpoint WF860
I don’t wish to appear to be, if you like, a little slow on the uptake, but am I right in saying that what you’re telling me is that each individual Hotpoint WF860 controller module has been programmed to that particular machine and will not operate in another machine of the same make and model with out being reprogrammed ?
Thank you and regards,
Re: Hotpoint WF860
Thanks for the reply.
From already having had a look and from what you’ve said so far, I realise that the main control module located at the inner bottom left hand side of the machine is the likely problem.
I’d like to know if the failing relay that you mention that is a part of this controller PCB, could also cause the machine to carry on the washing cycle indefinately whilst showing 0.01 minutes on the display.
Also, I’d like to know that if I were to be able to get my hands on a used main controller from the same model, would it be a simple case of a like for like swap and away we go, machine back in normal operation.
Thank you and regards,
Re: Hotpoint WF860
Thank you iadom.
I’ve had a quick look and have seen the control module fitted at the bottom left had side of the machine.
I removed all of the plugs / connectors in turn to check for Blackening /signs of bad contact but all seem to be clean / ok.
I’ve also checked the heater and connections and again all seem to be ok.
I plan to remove this main controller and check for dry joints / obvious signs of bad contact etc.
Apart for the possibility of the P-07 error code being caused by this failing relay, could it also cause the washing cycle to continue indefinately down to 0.01 on the display.
Are there any tips you could give me with regard to what else to do / look for if I find that all the joints appear ok.
If all esle fails and I could obtain a used main controller, would I be correct in assuming that I could fit this straight onto my machine and it would work normally.
(Again assuming that the main controller is / was the problem)Re: Hotpoint WF860
Ok thank you for the reply.
Just for a little added information, the F-07 error code does not always appear.
I have just set the machine to fast wash at 60 degrees, the first Two times I set it, it filled, turned the drum for about 1 minute then emptied and came up with the error code F-07,
the third time I set it, it carried on the washing cycle indefinately showing 0.01 time left on the display.Please could you tell me, is there more than One program controller / circuit board fitted on this machine that could be the problem or is there just the single large PCB that sits behind the buttons on the upper front panel ?

iadom wrote:The Hotpoint TL61 used two different types of thermostat setups. One was the same type as your Creda, the other one is the same as the TL61 that you have.
The temperature ratings are not the same due to a different element fitted to each type.
The safety stat in your machine is rated to cut out at 150°C, the one in the Hotpoint is set to 109°C.
The cycling stat on your Creda is 106°C, the Hotpoint one is 85°C.
Apart from the possibility of the wiring fouling on the backplate due to the right angled connections they would be likely to fail in short order due to the much lower rating.
Ok iadom, I thought the question was worth asking, thank you for the reply / advice.
Re: Creda T512VW Tumble Dryer Not Heating
Ok guys, a further update and request for your help / advice.
Whilst looking at the link for replacement thermostats that was kindly provided in the first reply to my initial post, I noticed that the thermostats for my Creda T512VW tumble dryer are also used in the Hotpoint TL61N dryer.
I have the exact same model waiting to be picked up to go to the council refuse centre.
I’ve tested the Two thermostats and they’re both good, visually they do not appear to be identical to the ones on the Creda in that One is Black in colour and the other White / Cream, unlike the Creda in which both thermostats are White, also the spade connectors are bent at 90 degrees upward as opposed to being flat like the ones fitted to the Creda dryer.
The wiring to them was also slightly different in that the White / Cream thermostat had Two Orange wires connected to it exactly like the Creda dryer, but the Black thermostat had Two Blue wires connected, unlike the Creda which had Blue on one side and Black and Brown together on the other side.
I hope you can make sense of all that, I’ve tried to explain it as simply as possible.
The question is guys, would it be safe / ok to fit the Two good thermostats from the condemned Hotpoint to the Creda dryer ?.
Thank you in advance.
Re: Creda T512VW Tumble Dryer Not Heating
Ok guys, I’ve had a meter on the Two thermostats and I’m only getting continuity on One of them.
The one with Black and Brown together on One side and Blue on the other is not showing continuity.
Assuming that they’re normally closed, can I safely say that this is the cause of the problem ?
If this is the problem, would it be advisable to change the second thermostat at the same time ?
Finally, where at short notice (Today) could I possibly get one from ?
Thanks in advance.
Re: Creda T512VW Tumble Dryer Not Heating
Thanks very much for the reply.
Other than the possible causes that you’ve mentioned, are there any other things to look at that could also be causing the problem ?.
(Trip or microswitches,etc)
Re: Hoover AM110
Thanks for the reply Dave, I only know what I was told and have related to you from my sister, although after trying another themostat and testing the heater element I placed the washer on the hottest wash setting, my sister tells me that on this setting you can feel the door class and it is (Normally) quite hot, I felt at the it wilst the machine was going through its cycle and it was stone cold throughout.
Re: Indesit WG 1234T
Filter, pump, pressure switch, all hoses, motor brushes, water supply and electrical connections already cleaned / checked before submitting orignal (First) post, I don’t know why (As I’m not a washing machine engineer) I just have this feeling that there is something amiss either with the programmer (Possibly caused by the original problem of the burnt contact on the motor module) or there is a further problem with the motor module, just hoping you guys in the know/with experience maybe could either tell me I’m totally wrong and point me in the right direction or agree with me, either way at least I’ll be able to decide on the next move, thanks and regards, Soulman.
Re: Indesit WG 1234T
Ok guys, thanks for the replies so far, what appears to be happening is that once set, the programmer will progress from wherever you initially start it from and continue only up till the next number on the cycle then stop, ie if you set the programmer at number 4 it will continue onto number 5 and then stop (You can then hear the hum/buzz I mentioned in my initial post) if you then manually turn thr programmer a touch as if to help it on it’s way it will continue onto number 6 then stop again and so on untill the end of the cycle, it does not seem to matter how short or long the cycle is between numbers it will just stop at each number throughout the cycle, any ideas guys, please help, I’m relying on you, thanks and regards, Soulman.
