HOTPOINT F-01 error code

Perhaps the inlet solenoid that lets water in the machine

Hi Hayley,

Please help us help you. Expand on what is working and what is not. SO please add to your comments and repost.

First things first. Water is always a hazard with electricity. Please turn of the power source to your machine and do a fine cleanup, Take canister vacuum and get the hard reach places. A large box fan will help dry the machine and the floor. Pull the machine away from the wall. If possible lift the top off the machine to allow air flow and a panel cover for examination. a hair dryer can be used to dry electronic components in the event of an overload. Give it a chance.


If the machine restarts and is faulting. Here is a link to diagnose the coding Error Codes Hotpoint Service

It appears you may need a new module if the cleanup does not clear out the code

Check the motor and associated wiring. You may just have a broken wire. Click on the link for more Hotpoint, Creda and Indesit error codes. Or use these links for WMA & WM workshop manuals.

Error code F01 is indicating ashort circuit motor triac.
Check connections on motor the motor plug and then control module.
Please rate my solution.
Thanks.

F01 - motor triac on main pcb. check motor connections/brushes etc if not will need new pcb.

f01 is a motor short circuit. you will probably need a new one and maybe the circuit board that powers it if all the lights went out unless the fuse is gone.

F01 is a motor faulty normally caused by the module,but sometimes thewiring to the motor plug that works loose as its to tight,give them alla good wiggle make sure there all in!
