ok there was a bang at the door this morning, it was the postman with a package, i opened it up and there was a pcb with a note on it, "we have re-tested your module and have not found any faults, However, the enclosed module is another module from our stock to enable you to try a different...

posted them both back to the place i bought it they gonna test it then ring me, will let you know what they say when i hear.

ah ok, as you can see, im no washing machine expert lol

both boards are going to be sent off today, so as long as i get 1 working board back i do not care if its the re-con or the original one, its a hotpoint not an indesit, machine details are as follows : WF321G 805150105.

i dont think it is the door switch,it locks when water is in the drum and unlocks a minute or so after, also it has caused no damage to the re-con pcb, the leg that blew off, if i follow the track it runs to J1 which is the main power feed i believe, the other side runs to pin 3 of J4. and i do...

appologies, it was not a capacitor it was a transistor at Q9 right next to J4 connector.

yes i think i may just do that, hopefully the work will pick back up soon so i can get back into it, cos as frustrating it can be sometimes, i loved it! can borrow the megger while i am there to test the heating element.

extremely, the thing is me and my wife and kids moved into a furnished rented house for just over a year and the mother-inlaw's washing machine broke, so we lent them the hotpoint, we only got it back when we moved again 2 weeks ago :( and we got 4 kids, the latest (and final) is a 3 week old...

well i am going to send both boards back tomorrow, as i was supposed to have sent the old board back last week cos it was a unit exchange, im glad i hung onto it, so do you think that is definately the cause of all my problems? if not i got the double glazing company fone number ready!!! lol

Thanks for all your help, I have only just had a good look at both boards side by side and they are slightly different, would that matter? i told them the correct model and the fact that it was a v4 version but the relays have different values on them, the old ones all say10A 250VAC 85 c then...

yeah i agree, have rang the company i got it from and they want me to send it back for testing, ur right it is a re-con board as its about half the price of a new one and i wouldn't know how to program it.

i don't think it can be anything to do with the motor, surely a fault in the motor would not bring the machine out of standby would it?

Wow, winders are few and far between mate, very rare trade, what a coincidence, right just ripped the motor out and checked the brushes, they are fine, bout 3cm left, the com could do with a clean but that is not causing the problem, this is really doin my head in now and if i hadn't already...

no i havn't i will check them out now, shouldn't be too hard for me, i use to rewind and overhaul electric motors for a living!

ok upon closer inspection it is not the pressure switch clicking, its the main control module, it sounds like a relay, however if i disconnect the connector from the pressure switch, i can still hear the relay go click, but the lights do not start flashing and the machine does not bring itself...

no it doesn't trip the RCD at all, everything is fine, it just will not do a spin for some reason, everything else works fine. one thing i did forget to mention though, not sure if it is significant, but if the machine is plugged in and the socket is left switched on, but the machine is not...

ok i put a multimeter accrosss the switch and all is as it should be, the connectors are tight and clean, the pcb is completely dry, i did abit more research today and according to hotpoints website, if light number 1 is flashing (wash enhance in my case) this is a fault f08 which is "Heater...

ok thanks i got a multimeter coming later today so i will check and report back.

Hi there, i have a hotpoint wf321g that is just over 3 years old, about a week ago my wife turned it on and there was a big bang and the machine did not respond at all, so i stripped it down and looked at the main control module, i could see some black marks on both sides of the board and the...
