Re: F07 Error displayed on Hotpoint Ultima WF860 model
Turned out to be a faulty heating element, a quick check with a low reading ohms meter confirmed the element had burnt out (Open Circuit). Found a new element (Hotpoint Part number 16004486) for £32.50 including delivery. Fitted it tonight and the jobs a good’un. Thanks to Penguin for the advise, fortunately I didn’t need to replace the card and the self fix was cheaper then a hotpoint call out charge.
Re: WM72N error
After 20 years of electrical/electronics experience I always work with the power isolated where possible, otherwise it’s rubber gloves and not marigolds, 😉 (and don’t look at me like that! 😯 ).
The chamber is free of obstructions, so any ideas.
Re: WM72N error
Pressure Switch is operating correctly, and I don’t think there is a blockage in the system. I am not getting any voltage being supplied to any of the water inlet valves. Any ideas on where to look? A visual inspection of the boards has been carried out but failed to shown any signs of damage to components or otherwise.
If you have any question to ask before offering a diagnosis, please fire away, after all is said and done your helping me.Cheers guys.

Not the heating element as first suspected!
So it’s back to the drawing board. Anyone got any other idea’s?
I put the new heater in, selected a program, machine started. Refused to take any water on board, statred to turn the drum, next minute “E16” displayed. Selected just a spin cycle by pressing G several times, machine starts to spin but the pump won’t kick in, then the error message “E15” is displayed.
I’m hoping it’s not the control board, although when I measure the resistance of one Triac and compared with another, it does appear to be at a lower value, so I am going to change that. If anyone would like to comment, please add.Thanks.
Re: WM72N error
Thanks guys, I thought it was but obviously wanted to get a 2nd opinion before going out to gather the parts. Fortunately, we’ve got some very switched on people on this forum.

thanks for the reply but I know the pressure switch is operating correctly. having applied a small amount of air pressure to the switch, confirms the change over. I ask about the element as I know it is scuffed as a result of the spider failing and due to the previous failure on the machine which threw up the blocked outlet code.
Do you know what the insulation resistance should measure?
(Trying to avoid the unnecessary purchase of a control module, if it is not required).
