C17 cap on pcb. Read the sticky at the top. Turn caps lock off we are not blind and is classed as shouting.

 

[cartnicol]

No probs - There is no sticky on the top?

Thanks for reply

 

[rocks1]

Yep sticky still there there's two common appliance problems and manuals. You need the first one then scroll down to the last page. It's got 3 pages all about the c17 cap and where to buy it.

Hi, I have a Hot Point Aquarius model WF541 and am having the same problem. On/Off light is flashing and 'Reduced Crease' and 'Mini Load' is also flashing. Will replacing the capacitor fix this as you have described your model (540 not the 541)

Thanks very much for you time
