Hotpoint Ultima WF860 Front Load Washer - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

The error F08 indicates that the heater relay is stuck. This could be a fault with either the pressure switch, heater or the module connections.
Think you need to book a service call from engineer.

F02 indicates that the motor tacho has broken or become detached, this is to be found on the end of the motor shaft.
Pleawse rate my solution.
Thanks.

the belt has come off or broken on the back take lid or back panel off and have a look

F04 Error code is "Pressure switch jammed on empty" F07 Error code is "Heater relay stuck" Both would require you to dis-assemble the washer to get to each part for checking / replacing. http://www.hotpointservice.co.uk/help-and-advice/error-codes/

Hi I hope this helps....

Common fault best to fit 3 at one time.

From the manual page 24: 'Door' is flashing in the display window... ?Shut the door firmly, until it clicks. The symbol should now go out. I suspect the door sensor has failed. It thinks you haven't closed the door, so it refuses to do anything at all. It's called a Door Interlock, it has a switch or sensor built into it. First try unplugging the washer for 60 seconds and plugging back in to try to reset the controller. (Dry hands only!) If the door interlock is a simple switch, you should be able to check it with an ohmmeter. I would check it first before buying a new one. The part number is HPTC00085194 or C00085194, here are a couple places you can buy one. You can also find them on ebay.

Heating element needs to be replaced.

turn it OFF (seems like the wrong thing to do but do it anyway) then press and hold the 3 middle buttons under the display panel until you hear a beep - they are labelled reduced creases, mini load and time saver. When you switch it on again you get the language menu. There are 4 buttons either side of the display - the right 2 scroll through the languages and the top left one sets it once you've found the English setting. Guten Tag!

You can download the user manual at: http://www.hk-krasnodar.ru/?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&task=user&id=1389 Also you might try holding the child lock down for 10 or more seconds.

Check tube to water pressure switch. The wall of the rubber tube on my machine had worn through due to friction. Taped it up to make sure this was the problem. No H2O code and machine working!

replace main circuit board. likely fried.

Your washer has a bad water valve or fill censor telling machine need more water then to much water sends a flood warning shuts down so will not flood your home look for small clear tube coming from tub to a type control hose may just came off

Apparently that 's a heater relay fault. No idea where that is on the machine, you could try tracing the wiring back from the heater to where ever the relay is. Then buy another and connect up exactly as before and see if that fixes it.

The "F06" fault code indicates a drive motor tachometer error. This means the control is unable to properly detect motor speed and the machine will shut down. If the failure occurs during high-speed spin, the door will unlock after 3 minutes. Possible Causes/Procedure: Unplug washer or disconnect the power supply. Check the wire harness connections between the motor and motor control unit and the harness connections between the motor control unit (MCU) and the Central Control Unit (CCU). Based on your symptom and details, the intermittent (F06) error code is likely a loose connection in the harness between the motor and the (MCU) or between the (MCU) and the (CCU). It could also be the tachometer circuit in the motor or an intermittent internal component connection within the (MCU). Since the (CCU) has already been replaced, the failure is likely a loose harness connection or the (MCU). I recommend calling the repair person back out to re-diagnose the failure. by Joey S MARCH 1ST, 2010 ' Be the first to comment

bad control board maybe u can reset the applaince? try turning to off position pull out knob then unplug for a couple minutes then plug back in then lift open and close lid slightly 6 times within 12 seconds - good luck

Error code F05 indicates that the pressre/waterlevel switch is jammed on full.
Remove lower rear panel of washer.
Remove large black hose fastened to bottom of drum
Remove and clean plastic filter inside hose.
Remove hose onto pump, check for obstruction here, and into the pump.
Please leave feedback.
Thanks.

Do u want to resolve the f-13 fault code ON HOTPOINT WD860 Ultima and other models. Fix the fault . It is a tricky job but the heater thermostat switch has tripped as it senses something burning. Probably a little bit of fluff on the heater element inside the heater unit.. There are 2 switches on top of this heater unit. One where the 2 blue wires go on the top left of the 3rd picture and the other which has a tall black wire connector on shown in the middle of the 3rd picture. Remove that connector and undo the holding screw . You can then reset the switch. The switch is a small circular switch hidden beneather the connector on the photos. This thermostat switch has a yellow. red dot ontop of it. If you use a small pin or needle and press into that dot you will hear it tick back into place. you have reset the switch now. You will probably need to clean the inside of the heater element unit to get rid of the fluff particles or it will keep switching off. To take this apart you will need a set of Star screwdrivers. Its a bit tricky but you will be able to undo the star screws and take them all out. I will add some photos to show you the unit apart. You can see the build up of fluff on the photos i have added from my hotpoint WD860 heater unit. This is a tricky job and takes about an hour due to the screw being awkward to take off and put on again but mine hasnt faulted for 2 years since sorting it out. You can buy a new Thermostat switch which is about 10 pounds sterling from Hotpoint or other spares stores.

If the drive belt came off and wont stay on, either the Drum Bearings are gone, or the large pully is buckled.

If all the water has drained away. POWER OFF. Lid has to be removed. slide arm down inside of front panel to door lock and rease it. A new door lock would be required. An engineer can do this
