hotpoint aquarius wd440 Flashing like a Cristmas Tree

L0rd · 2 Nov 2009

Hi, I have the above washing machine.

It's been about 1 month now that when you switch on the power, ALL the lights flicker for about 30 seconds, then the on button lights up as normally and then it works as normal.

Where do i start looking? I don't want it to completely break down.

Thanks in advance

Ok just had a machine in Hotpoint WT721 with all lights and display flashing, the fault has been gradually getting worse over the last 3 months (2 year old machine).

Tried it on the board and yep cap C17 was blown (50% down) which is part of the power regulator circuit, replaced it and all was ok.

Checked the same cap out on a board from a scrapped Ariston same problem so replaced it and board worked

Thank you for your reply.

I will check with my landlord first to check if he had activated the 5 year waranty on it.

I hope he did.

Thank you for that.

I will have a look over the weekend.

So far, the Xmas tree although was flashing in the begining it was still working. TOday, it spend some time trying to decide whether to work or not. In the end it did. So hopefully, i will sort it out now.

Regards
