Re: Hotpoint WMF760 trips RCD on spin cycle

The definitive cure has been found out to be the eeprom file. It needs rewriting, Indesit have released a Tech Bulletin to their engineers.

Re: Hotpoint WMF760 trips RCD on spin cycle

Having thought about this problem, and not ruling out motor faults entirely, although our three phase motors in general are very reliable and I change probably less than one a month out of 200ish calls. Have you noticed any sign of a leak? Pulled the machine out and looked for ANY signs of water underneath?
The reason I ask is because you say its getting worse as time goes by (leaks tend to do this) and it wont take much water getting into the motor wiring plug to cause your problem. As for the 13A plug forget that TBH when they are faulty they trip the RCD at the first power on.

@ Martin it will not invalidate any guarantee as long putting your own plug on doesn,t in itself, cause a problem.

Cut off and replace the mains plug it causes tripping and is the cheapest trial fix without a megga and a service engineer.

Re: Hotpoint WM67 Violent Spin

No need to take the front panel off really, just lie the machine on each side and do one at once, undo the 13mm nut press the shocker into the machine with a big screwdriver and it will come out through the base quite easily.
