Hi all. Any ideas greatfully received. Error F-02 Hotpoint WF860T Washing Machine. The wife said that some washing cycles work, some don't, and most end or are interrupted by error F-02. I have just tried a rinse cycle, the drum fills and empties as normal but the drum struggles to turn...

. Yes yes yes yes yes. :lol: :D Sorted it. The clear hose from the APS was perished and had split in two where it connects onto the fan. I never thought to take the cover off the front to check. .. .

.. Replaced PCB and Air Pressure Switch but still the same problem. Boiler will only fire-up if the red hose is removed from the Air Pressure Switch. Suggestions? I've gone this far, I'd like to sort it myself if poss. So far: P.C.B Air Pressure Switch DHW Flow Switch + Microswitch ..

Thanks guys warning noted. 15 min ago (before your replies) I ordered a recon PCB ( it did look knackered, relays burnt, dry joints everywhere) & APS £100 all in. I'll try them and if still no joy get someone in. Filling the bath with kettle as we speak :lol: All I need now is the fan...

Tubes are clear. I think I'll order a complete PCB ( as it looks knackered) and the aps. I know it'll cost a bit but I've got to get it sorted. Kids and wife are moaning. Where can I get them from online? Many thanks. .

. If this is the problem (please see previous post) Can anyone suggest where to get a C6065A1093 Potterton Puma 80 Air Pressure Valve Many thanks .

I disconnected the RED hose and both HW and Heating WORK! For how long I'm not sure as I only tested for 10 seconds in case I'm not supposed to. Is that the cure to all my problems do you think? If so where can I get a switch ASAP? Can you paste me a link. Or a red herring? With the red...

aps?

. Will check PCB & wiring again but that doesn't account for the rising whooshing sound and slow flow when the hot water tap is turned on. .

Yes it does. It did fire up momentarily just when I switched it to constant just, but then stopped. The pilot is fine and the fan is operating at full speed on demand. Same for H/W and Heating.

It's been a while for this update, until recently the heating has been fine and the H/W still hit and miss. Now we have neither again. 3 videos below that may or may not help. A new DHW Flow Switch + Microswitch was fitted last year and seems to be operating fine. HW Demand LED lights okay on...

Not long moved house and realised over the weekend that when the yellow 'TEST' button on our Crabtree Starbreaker Consumer Unit is pressed, nothing happens. Nothing trips. Is that bad, or really bad. Many thanks. The house was renovated (totally gutted) about 3 years ago and rewired.

Okay, the plumber's been and fitted a new DHW Flow Switch + Microswitch. Charged £95.00 and now we have NO hot water or heating and the kids are freezing! No bath tonight kids! The pilot goes out as soon as the hot water tap is turned on of the CH fires. When I turn the HW tap on it sounds...

Thanks for that. How do I turn the water off flowing through it? Do I have to drain it all down? Kind regards

Yes, it's the DHW flow switch. It's dripping out of the hole with the spring in it. Do I need to buy the whole flow switch assembly. Is it a DIY job? How much roughly the flow switch + labour? West Midlands. (strapped for cash!) Regards

Best get a plumber in!! How much should a plumber charge parts & labour for the above job roughly so I don't get ripped off! Cheers.

Found the problem. There's a pressure relief spring valve type thingy that is directly above the timer/thermo wiring junction behind the PCB. This valve is slowly dripping water directly onto the terminals. That's what I can smell, it's in a right state, fizzing and burning! I'll replace the...

Thanks guys. Yes, at the top left under the fuse is a resistor 'R1' and each side where it enters the PCB it's discoloured and burnt. Will it last a fair while then one day just go or is failure imminent? Can't smell anything today or last night and it's been on permanently. Do I need to...

Hello there. Any advice welcome. I have noticed an electrical type burning smell over the last few days coming from our Potterton Puma 80 Combi. The smell is strong, intermittent and soon goes after a few minutes (5-10 minutes). The boiler is on constant tickover during these cold months...
