If your Hotpoint FDEU 9640 washer-dryer is stopping prematurely during the dry cycle with all the LEDs flashing amber, it could be caused by a few different issues:

1. Check the filter: Make sure the filter is clean and not blocked. A blocked filter can cause the machine to stop working properly.
2. Check the venting: Make sure the venting system is clear and not blocked. A blocked vent can cause the machine to overheat and stop working.
3. Check the heating element: If the heating element is faulty, it can cause the machine to overheat and stop working.
4. Check the thermostat: If the thermostat is faulty, it can cause the machine to overheat and stop working.
5. Check the control board: The control board controls the various functions of the washer-dryer. If it is faulty, it can cause the machine to stop working.
6. If none of the above steps work, it is possible that the machine has a more serious problem that requires professional service.

It is important to refer to the user manual or contact Hotpoint technical support for further assistance and specific troubleshooting steps for your washer-dryer model. It is also important to make sure the machine is not plugged in before attempting any troubleshooting steps. It is also important to note that it is not safe to use a multimeter to test any of the heating element or thermostat

pump all the water out and stop the wash cycle your on
open the door
then disconnect the mains supply for 10-15 mins
then turn it back on and hope the software fixes itself
otherwise there is an issue its detecting
like the door interlock is being detected as bad.,..
if the motor isnt running perhaps the motor brushes need replaced and this is the cause of the flashing wash light
and motor not running
i would check out the brushes have atleat 3/4 " on them
if not replace them

From left to right, which number lights are on. 1 on 2 off 3 off 4 on etc.... There should be 8 lights.

Had this same problem myself. To get mine to start i have to push the door to until it starts.

Sounds like needs new door interlock swith Cost around 15 pounds.....Simple to fit

unplug the machine for 3 mins and plaug back in if it still happens you might have a problem with the heating element or somthing.hope this helps.

my disher washer dls 535 starts programme then lights 2 and 3 start flashing and does not work

Hi ya, just a quick suggestion, have you cleaned the filter on the front of your machine?? My machine did this and it was only when i cleaned the fluff and the 5 pence pieces from this filter it stopped, Hope it helps

What mode are you starting this machine in ? I know this may sound silly and I'm trying to determe if this is a machine fault code or something else.
