Re: Hotpoint BFI 680 Problems
Sorry to jump back on this but the issue has reoccurred with the PCB flyhead. Do you reckon this should be soldered to the board because I have disconnect it? It looked ok to do so and came off easily. But the connection now doesnt seem right and the latest flashing light issue happens again. I have noticed that one of the silver pins is shorter than the other. Any suggestions on getting a new flylead? Here are my pics http://sdrv.ms/113UOJZ
Re: Hotpoint BFI 680 Problems
Right I think i’ve got it. There was a lose connector that had 2 thin silver connectors flanked by 2 plastic holding pins. It is now going through a wash. Fingers crossed. Thanks for the assistance so far…
Re: Hotpoint BFI 680 Problems
Is there a way I can upload a pic of what i’m looking at? Or is there a pic on Google which i might recognise?
Re: Hotpoint BFI 680 Problems
Thanks for the quick response. I am going to open it back up now (integrated so bit of agro). Not too sure what that is, any further info to assist me. All i done was connect the board on the left side of the door looking at it head on trying to follow pics from when i took it out.
I’ll feed back soon.
Re: Hotpoint BFI 680 Problems
Hi, an update on this. I sent the board away for repair. On retry the results seem worse. When the machines starts it almost suddenly stops with the 6th light flashing (glasses). Any idea what this relates to or have I not connected the part correctly
Apparently the heater part of the board was fixed so want to cover all angles before I go back to the engineer?
Thanks once again for your help.

Re: Hotpoint BFI 680 Problems
Update – took DW out today (it’s integrated by the way). Not too sure what tests I could do once it’s disconnected and on its side. Done a continuity test on the heat element and all seemed fine. Is there any thing else I should check for?
I also opened the front to view the PCB, there was no sign of a fault – What tests can I perform on this as I can’t find a circuit diagram anywhere? Manual isn’t informative enough for this issue.
As it is, I’m unsure on what step to take now. Hotpoint aren’t helpful at all – minimum £90 call out is their only suggestion.
Can’t find a replacement PCB for this machine either to gauge I should just give up or persevere.
Any advice or help is very much appreciated.
