I have an Hotpoint Aquarius 1200 washer/dryer & I'm getting an E30 error code just after the first wash It's telling me to check the manual but I don't have one of those......help
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
