Hotpoint Ultima 1600

[janehayleigh]

Dear All

I have a two year old Hotpoint Ultima WMA66 1600 spin. Once it has finished a wash and moves on to the rinse part of the cycle it stops and the display just says 'on'. It does not resume the cycle.

We have tried checking the hoses for kinks, making sure the water pressure is ok, different programmes and adjusting the feet.

Am I programming it wrong, any ideas?

Thanks
Jane

Is it draining after the wash part of the programme?

After about 15-20 mins of washing it drains and then displays 'on' and doesn't do anything else. Pressing any buttons results in 3 beeps except cancel which switches the machine off.

There is a sequence of buttons you can press to run a diagnostic check but unfortunately I don't have a note of these for your model. You could ask at the following site:

hi all,

Ive just cleaned out the drain pipes (half full of scale and slime) and tested thermostat (22k ohms cold) and element (30 ohms). Found ocassional spike across element but otherwise 0 volts when washing.
One wire from element goes to pcb other wire goes to something with an air hose(pressure sensor?) could it be either of these?

Hi all,

Thanks for the help. Problem apears to be pcb related. time for a new one i guess.

Do you mean a new PCB or a new machine? Remember that your Hotpoint is covered by a 5 year parts warranty so it might be worth calling them out to repair it.
