Sounds like a classic bad door switch or switch holder. If you or a friend decide to work on it, we have *critical* safety info, info on door switch testing and replacement, and oven disassembly info at our site, which is linked at our listing here on FixYa: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk You can find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your base model number (without the suffix) here: http://tinyurl.com/gv383

Hi,
With the problems it is presenting, I would say it's very likely.
However it may take a bit of detective work to find which board is defective.

Check a part suppliers link Here for price comparison so you have some ideas.

SOURCE: Hotpoint WT741. When power on and 'on' button

Have had this problem on our Hotpoint WT741 washing machine. Fixed it this evening as far as I can tell. Seems it was a loose connection. Took the top off the machine and checked the ribbon connection to the display board at the top front. First, I removed the board (is held in by plastic clips - remove the programme selector knob first) and inspected to see it was okay then refitted it, making sure that the ribbon cable was pushed firmly onto the board. I then removed the rear access panel around the drain hose and checked the connections onto board at the bottom rear of the machine. I gave each connection a good push to check they were properly seated. Having done this, I have been unable to reproduce the fault with repeated switching off/on of the machine. It now appears to be working fine. I suspect the fault arises as a consequence of vibrations from the machine during operation causing one or more connectors to work loose - probably the ribbon cable on the front panel. So the problem should be rectified by checking these are properly seated. If you know what you are doing it's a simple job. Make sure you unplug the machine before accessing the machine and turn off the water supply. Don't attempt this if you aren't sure what you are doing and aren't confident with electronics.

SOURCE: display screen flashes "CHK" repeatedly

Hello.

From FixYa Support: The "ERR" message reportedly means a memory error.

Please NOTE: This solution will wipe out the memory.

Press the STOP and DISP/MENU buttons at the same time for about 2 seconds, and then the display should show "FOR". It will supposedly erase the whole memory, but will at least make the device usable again.

Hope this helps.

when I opened up the camera, the tape part of the cassette was hanging out. I tightened the tape and reinserted the cassette. this seems to have fixed the problem. hope this helps.
