Hotpoint Aquarius W541G

[DT3740]

My machine won't go through a whole programme. It stops on the rinse and spin cycle. To date I have changed the water pump, heating element, pressure switch and PCB. I've checked the brushes and they seem fine, not even half worn. Anybody any ideas as to what the problem could be?

Rinse valve open circuit

 

[DT3740]

How do I rectify that?

 

[rocks1]

Replace it ,check valve termials with a continuity tester,valves are where the water pipe goes in .

Thanks I'll give it a try.

Yes but check them first no point thowing parts at it unless you test first

Thanks. I won't be throwing anymore parts at it I dont think. Already water pump £55, Pressure Swithch £12, Heater Element £25, PCB £64.

For £156 I'd have been better investing in a new machine!

Do you mean if I had called them out when the problems started they would've repaired it for a total cost of £105?
