Hotpoint WF541 Washing Machine

[jazzmaverick]

My WF541 has just developed a fault. The Door Locked light is not coming on therefore the cycle does not start.The door is actually locked but no light on.Fault is intermittent sometimes Door Locked light eventually comes on and cycle will start.

Check motor brushes poss worn.

Thats great thanks will do. Why does door locked light not come on if brushes need changed.Also are brushes easy to obtain.

It takes the netruel suppy from the pcb though the motor when whey are worn no fill no spin. You can get the part off eBay or google it. You tube shows how to remove and check them.

I have removed the brushes and they look worn to me,not much travel left.I managed to remove them without removing motor what are my chances of refitting them without removing motor.

Poss quite good as long you got a screwdriver with a magnetic end in case you drop the screws.

Thanks will try tommorrow when I get new brushes.

Replaced brushes and now machine intermittently has flashing lights.Reduced creases and minimum load flashing. As I say this is only happening intermittently.
