Hotpoint Fdw60 Help please

[GRUNT16V]

I own the above model and as normal we put it on overnight i have noticed today that there is water still in the bottom of it ,the tablet has been dispensed fine and everything is clean i have also noticed that there isn't any cycle lights flashing i cant choose any cycles at all the only light that does flash is the red main power led any help would be great
Thanks

Since posting this the main power Led has stopped working

The red power light don't flash , can you select and prog. Have you unplugged it for 5 mins.

 

[GRUNT16V]

the power led was flashing but has sinced died and i was unable to select any programs at all i have checked power to the plug socket and that side is all fine

 

[rocks1]

Have you checked the pcb for burn marks. Which side are you looking at for power light.

 

[GRUNT16V]

i have not yet stripped it down when i say main power led its the one next to the main on off switch on the front of the machine

dont know if this sounds strange but there was a fishy odour in the kitchin but has now gone but this may nothing but thought i would mention it as i have not had fish for a while

That could be the pcb beening fried , the power light was shorting out then popped. If it was to error out the green lights would flash never the power light. Check the pink and brown wires on pcb they go to heater they have poss burnt out. If so pcb is about 50 quid.

I have now stripped it down to find to wires burnt out one is brown and the other is black they black goes to the main power led and the brown goes down the bottom of the door area they both share the same spade connector on the pcb board , the solder joints look vey dry underneath and a little singed (blackish) will this be ok to re solder the male connectoer back on the board and reuse the pcb again or will i need to replace it
many thanks

Check the thermistor is attached to the back of the dispenser. It's the little white block with 2 black wires on it and go to pcb.

I can remember putting this white block back in
its original position, do they work loose ??
