    Re: Hotpoint WML540 washer

    This is a classic pcb/Module fault where the pump and valve connections short, no way round it I’m afraid its a new pcb or a new machine

    Has the mains lead got a moulded plug? if it has change it to a normal rewirable plug and change the suppressor again, the moulded plugs can develop internal faults and can cause suppressor faults its more common than you would think! “Q”

    Yep is an old one alright, but before scrapping it its worth checking the door switch and associated wiring also you say you checked the resistance of the heater but did you check to earth as well as the heater itself also try disconnecting the secondary wires from the mains filter and switch on if it trips change the filter, hope this helps

    Hi there, Coins in the pump wont usually cause this problem. it sound like the taco is open circuit this is a small coil located on the end of the motor that put simply, sends signals to the module to regulate the speed of the motor. check the wires as they come out of the taco and as they enter and exit the motor plug then on to the module the wires can break any where so a continuity tester would come in handy but usually the break is quite obvious “Q”

    iadom is correct about the fault code and the circ pump will cause this fault to show but before you shell out for a circ pump its worth checking the circ pump is not jammed just try turning the shaft manually with a flat blade chubby srewdriver if it turns freely then is worth changing capacitor on the pump (4uF if memory serves me)these do go from time to time pretty cheap to buy.
