Hotpoint WF540 not working - door lock LED flashing.

welshanorak · 29 Jan 2011

Hi there
For a while the machine wouldn't start every time, but then it became permanent. When it didn't start, the door lock light was flashing.
I replaced the door lock assembly but it's no better. When switched on all the lights flash briefly as usual, the door itself locks, then the appropriate LED for the wash comes on but the machine just sits there. After a while the door lock light flashes, but there are no error codes. I've checked all the connectors but all seem fine.
Any ideas?

Thanks

Rocks - it seems you are a legend on this forum - and with good reason!
I took the brushes out and they are worn - cleaned the commutator and put them back to test and off it went. New brushes on order...
Many thanks
