    Have same problem. Machine tripped main electric, now comes up E30 - motor error. As I understand it, the fuse on the power module has probably blown. I can't find this fuse - where is it? This seems like first port of call before / as well as changing brushes. Changing the brushes without replacing this fuse - if the machine has a fuse - makes little sense. The main circuit board seems ok, and the motor - no obvious signs of burning out, and as with the other comment, the spin works tho not the motor. Any tips on the fuse situation appreciated, I reckon I could change the brushes ok.

Error E30 is a motor drive problem. Would check motor brushes as most likely fault.

I'm getting an E30 error code just after the first
Dear customer,
                     Error 30 (on Hotpoint) just means the motor isn't working. Several things, including the power module, can cause this. The most common cause though is worn carbon brushes. There is also a 7.5 amp fuse on or near the power module, which can blow. This fuse is on the motor circuit to protect the circuitry of the power module. If it blows, then the motor won't work and you will get error 30. 
If it has blown, it's likely to be caused by the motor. I had one last week where the armature in the motor had shorted to earth which blew the 7.5 Amp fuse. 

To check the brushes, with the machine unplugged! Have a look at

HOTPOINT WD71 ERROR E 30
Hello john walker24
Welcome

You said, you have a Hotpoint Ultima 1200 Washier dryer model WD71s and keep getting an E30 error code after it fills with water.
Any idea what the problem is?

This is what Hotpoint tells us!
E30 = A motor drive problem has occurred.Try running the programme again.
If the problem persists call for a Service Engineer.

BUT, I will tell you to unplug the appliance for 5 minutes and see if this resets the system and solves the error code.
Sometimes it is only a glitch and you can reboot and be alright if there is really no mechanical failure!!
Let me know how it goes?
Huuum,
Please remember to leave a rating!
Thank You.
Waiting for your response!

I think you will find that the error relates to the heating element.
E14 on the Hotpoint WM75E means that there is a problem with the water heating.
