Hotpoint Wf860 wiring

[shaunbh]

I have replaced the heater relay on the main pcb and reconnected everthing, but I just need to confirm the correct connection of 2 wires from the heating element.
I think that the 2 wires - 1 violet/green the other brown/green connect to the spare pins on J3 as shown in my photo (the 2 wires in the connector to the right in the photo), but can somebody please confirm the is correct before I plug the machine back in.

The way they are connected at the moment is the violet/green with the insulated crimp is plugged into the inner connector and the brown/green is in the outer pin (I am not sure the photo shows this very well)

Thanks in advance

Yes that's correct

Thanks.
All wired up fine now ( it was anyway, but just needed that confirmation).
Ran a cycle this this morning and all appeared to be fine until the end of the cycle when error f08 came up on the display again.
I have read that this code refers to a faulty or stuck heater relay - hence I replaced it (there are 2 relays on the board, I replaced them both). The heating element tests OK.

I have also read that this could also be related to worn or broken motor brushes, so nothing to do with the heating circuit.
Has anybody any experiance of this issue?
When I get home later, I will take the brushes out to check them.

Thanks.

Could be Presure switch as well but very rare. All we do it change the pcb. And long as heater megas out ok.

Is there any test for the pressure switch?
Where is it and what does it look like?

Sits on the side of cabinet with a tube running of it to the drum. Just blow down it to see if there's any restriction. But I doubt it's that
