Hotpoint WD71s Please can you tell me what error e30 would be and how resolve it? Thank you. Mary Young

mean internal frost buildup on some units. let unit sit for awhile.

what does e30 mean on wm75 hotpoint ultima 1200

Error code E30 generally indicates a problem with the motor.
Check brushes and associated wiring and connections.

Error code E30 indicates motor tachometer failure.
There is a loss of signal during tumble or spin.
Check your user guide.

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

E30 is a motor problem which is most likely brushes need replacing.
Hope this helps & Thanks for using Fixya.

Error E30 is a motor drive problem. Would check motor brushes as most likely fault.
Thanks for using Fixya.

Hello john walker24
Welcome

You said, you have a Hotpoint Ultima 1200 Washier dryer model WD71s and keep getting an E30 error code after it fills with water.
Any idea what the problem is?

This is what Hotpoint tells us!
E30 = A motor drive problem has occurred.Try running the programme again.
If the problem persists call for a Service Engineer.

BUT, I will tell you to unplug the appliance for 5 minutes and see if this resets the system and solves the error code.
Sometimes it is only a glitch and you can reboot and be alright if there is really no mechanical failure!!
Let me know how it goes?
Huuum,

Try unplugging the washer for 5 minutes and then we will see if this has reset the system!
like rebooting your computer.Some times it is only a glitch and no mechanical problems are there!
If so you saved a service call.

Thank you.
Waiting for your results!

most like cause is the door interlock is faulty but its one of those jobs that unless you have the right equiptment namely a tester you won't know for sure unless you change it. Could also be the voltage from the control board is't correct so best let someone who knows check it for you.
