hotpoint aquarius washer dryer won't spin properly WDL520

[peterainbow]

ok just realised that the lights up the side are a binary code of the error code

and discovered that the error is F02 which means motor/tacho issue

which fits with what is going on

i tried to measure the resistance of the 2 wires coming from the acho and seems to be open

is it possible to get a replacement tacho coil thingy? where from? how much?

the thing looks a bit like this

well found wire snapped inside plastic right at the tacho end, managed to scape away some of the block and solder a new wire in place and now properly spins up again

begs the question of who wrote the software that allows it to run without a tacho when no temp sensors connected...

will do a full test tomorrow when back on the water supply
