Hi. I have a problem with Hotpoint wd420. It won t work. ON/OFF flashing light and dryer and time saver lights are on. And Wd 420 is taking water. What is the problem?

You should just be able to press the button. Has the machine stopped working with the START light flashing and the time saver light on? If so, this is an error code indicating a motor fault. Please describe any other lights that are on and if they are flashing or solid

My WD 420 packed up, after watching the blogs I did:1) remove filter - found 2 quid, a thong, a pop sock, a christmas cracker toy and a load of gunge. 2) removed the motor - brushes worn to nothing - replaced them.
Washer running as new. 6 years old, 2 house moves - not bad reliability. Nearly gave up and bought a new machine!!

this usually means that the main pcb has a corrupted eprom or eprom memory has been wiped... you either need a new pcb with eprom or a new board pre-programmed.

Check first the thermal fuse.

Test heating element to ensure is not grounded, and staying always on. Test the fan and ventilation system.

If you find no fault in there , then test the timer control board.
