Hotpoint wf540 error code

fubox · 26 Sep 2008

Hi. Hope someone can help out.
My hotpoint wf540 is on the fritz.
Cleaned out filter in the past but this escapes me.
Got a slow flashing on/off led and faster flashing mini load (bottom indicator) led.
Called hotpoint and they wouldn't divulge error and want £99 to come out.
Cheers

hi rocks1.
it was led 4 ( 1 being at top and 5 being bottom ) mini load.
Spoke to woman on hotpoint that said communication fault between buttons and pcb . Checked connections and found moisture near pcb terminals. Dried it off and now bloody error code has vanished but drum doesnt want to turn..!
Machine seems to attempt going thro cycle without turning.

led 4 means code fo1 traic on pcb try and push the connecters on pcb but if this dont work pcb goosed ,you can try for a recon board about 30 quid or hotpoint all in 100 quid including parts ,or scrap it

Just for the record-
Ends up it must have been a coin in between inner and outer drums.
It shattered a hole thro the side of the outer drum and water was gradually splashing out on to the casing of the machine and running down onto the pcb.

Moral of the story - always check your pockets are empty.
