Hotpoint WD440 washer tumble dryer not drying

[steve_warman]

Hi,

I have found on here several error codes associated with the Hotpoint WD440 but none that explain the flashing lights I'm seeing, any help is appreciated.

When our appliance gets the drying cycle it starts to flash the on/off button rapidly and then the lights 1,2 and 4 on the left hand side.

Thanks
Steve

f01 light 4, motor triac
f02 light 3 motor, jammed/ tacho
f03 lights 3&4 Ntc fault
f04 light 2. pressure sw stuck on empty
f05 lights 2&4, pressure sw stuck on full
f06 lights 2&3, N/A?
f07 lights 2&3&4 heater relay
f08 light 1. heater relay
f09 lights 1&4 eprom/setup error
f10 lights 1&3, pressure switch not sensing
f11 lights 1&3&4, pump/draining error
f12 lights 1&2, communication error
f13 lights 1&2&4, dryer ntc/ fan motor
f14 lights 1&2&3, dryer heater
f15 lights 1&2&3&4, dryer heater relay
f16 N/A
f17 light 4, door lock
f18 light 3 comms error (3 phase motor) power board

So in this instance with the second light flashing the error code would be f04 light 2. pressure sw stuck on empty . your error code is f13, heater on top oc ,check fan assy also check themo switch all located on the heater box .
