Hello, all I can tell you is that we have discovered more and more of this series of washers and washer/dryers coming in with the computer boards that are faulty.
Some only need to be reprogrammed but some need to have the boards replaced.
Up to press I can not recall having to change any other components other than door boots and the odd stat on the washer/dryers.

Unfortunately your Hotpoint is built by Indesit and uses Indesit electronics.
If your fault is heater relay cannot be activated then it's most likely the main pcb that's faulty.
You can check the connections at the heater, they have been known to break internally at the connectors. Also check the plug at the main pcb.
Be careful when working on these machines as the some of the pcb's can hold a charge for a long time.
