Hotpoint Ultima WF865 Front Load Washer - Page 4 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

The cycle does not advance because the temp sensor does not detect enough temperature.

The heating element must be tested using a multimeter , and eventually replaced.

Usually the element is the problem, if element is fine, the temp sensor and the timer control must be checked.

h20 means it's not getting any water or not filling fast enough. check your water pressure.

thermister blown or thermal fuse which is a black plug in the top of the dryer box or yellow sleeved wire, if it was noisy maybe the fan has come loose from it's motor. you will need to remove the dryer box on top of the drum to see if the fan is binding. you can push it back to where its not binding and tighten the nut-ANTICLOCKWISE, LEFT HAND THREAD.
usually the machine runs through a check before starting a cycle and will see an f13 and not start even a wash., so you will need to replace the blown parts.

you should be able to turn it off by holding it in for a while longer,5-10 seconds, unless the circuit board is at fault.

to take out of test mode you must turn it on while pressing the start/cancel and on buttons at the same time until dOFF appears.

f 02 is a motor problem, jammed perhaps. does the drum move by hand?

Best way to check if the main drum bearings have gone is to;

1. Remove back panel of washer
2. Remove drive belt.
3. Spin drum by hand from the inside of the drum, if it feels rough, or is noisy and rumbling, then the main bearings have gone.

If there is no apparent noise, then you will have to investigate further.
If I can help further, pleas let me know.
Plz rate my solution.
Thanks.

Error code F01 indicates a short circuit motor triac, this is part of the electronics that control the motor.
What you need to check first of all is the motor.
Remove back panel, undo 2 screws that secure motor, unplug motor lead, and lever motor backwards out of the brackets, don't let go of motor.
Check to see if motor has brushes fitted, if it has , check for shorted brushes and wear,if less than 2-3 mm, then replace.
If after replacing brushes and it still shows F01, then chances are it has blown the pcb, could be expensive, especially if you need to replace the motor.
If no brushes, then pcb is probably faulty.

run a load with no clothes, hot water and a gallon or two of bleach and less then 1 drop, very small amount of dish detergent. the dish detergent is used as  surfactant (makes the bleach stick to the interior walls)
run an extra rinse cycle to make sure you get all the bleach out before putting clothes in.

I always start at the plug to make sure it has 220, a dryer will run but no heat with 110. This was a common problem when everyone used fuses instead of breakers, just an old habit.

Then I check the heating element and thermostats, this must be done with an OHM meter. More than likely it will one of these.

Connect a hot water supply

Washers have to be balanced. Some have balance adjusters either inside the dryer as explianed above or on the bottom to level the washer. try to balance it by turning the bolts slightly or the bottom portion of the washer to level it. Or else they want to shake apart. Also by distributing the clothes evenly so it won';t be all to one side can help. do not tighten the screws all the way. Just tighten them to the point of getting the right balance.

press on off button till test comes up then press on off and start cancel button together for a few seconds

Hi there!

(I probably shouldn't say this)

I would reccommend a Bosch product.
Their build quality just seems better. Most of the parts are well thought-out, and not over-designed to be the thinnest and cheapest like other brands.

I would steer clear of "own brands" as these may be cheaper, but often lack durability.

I have had several Bosch appliances over the years. They are solid, dependable, and if spares are needed, they are always stocked. Not that I've actually needed any!

In in doubt - buy the simplest machine to do the job. You don't need 1001 sensors to tell you that you've put shirts in with towels. Just stick to a knob controller , or push button for temperature selection and there is less to go wrong.

Keep it simple.

Hope this helps. If it does, Please rate as Fixya!

Thanks.

u need to put something like a wooden hammer handle into the hole in the spider at the back when u have put it in spin the inner drum clock wise fast so it undos the spider or pulley wheel to some people once the spider is all the way off u need to put the nut back on just so it is level with the spindle with a rubber mallet strike it fast and hard and it will move the inner drum to come out once it comes so far out u need to undo the nut and remove the inner drum totally

I presume you mean the inner drum, this is major strip down, remove the top, remove the front panel and the control panel, remove and split the out drum in half, remove the drum pully, refit the nut and hit the spindle with a hammer using the nut to protect the thread, this will force the drum spider out of the bearings, reverse the process to reassemble. Regards and good luck Advisor
