Hi,
Machine has suddenly decided to stop working (although still making noises) and start flashing at me instead. The local engineer says it needs a new motherboard but seems to have difficulty locating one - hence why I'm here.
The flashing lights are Drying High Heat/Reduce Creases/Time Saver and the On-Off. The machine is currently switched off at the plug as no response to the On-Off once it's flashing.
Checking one of the previous posts (//www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=163622) indicates that these lights are:
f13 lights 1&2&4, dryer ntc/ fan motor - which doesn't mean a lot to me.
I bought the machine second hand but is this a simple fix and/or worth it?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

new pcb required contact emw in nottingham for a recon 45.00 quid
 
PCB taken out - Mark4; ordered and delivered.
Replaced it this evening and put on a quick cycle.
Everything seemed to going well for about 1-2 minutes and then the flashing lights again; same as before: 1,2 & 4.
Ideas appreciated.
Thanks,

Edit: This did not resolve the problem!

Hi

I came across your old post, I have had the same problem.

1. Replaced PCB.
2. When the Machine is in off mode, it still switches on with flashing lights (fault F13 - lights 1,2 & 4 flashing).

My solution:
I tested the NTC Thermal limiter and it has a shot open circuit (no continuity)
I have ordered a new one from Hotpoint for approx £20.00

NTC Thermal limiter:
NTC Thermal limiter position

I am expecting the new part resolves the problem, as the F13 fault points to the Dryer NTC
