ref: Whirpool Aquarius WF220 washing machine

[alistairgraham76]

Hi all

Please help! I have a Whirpool Aquarius WF220 washing machine which has stopped halfway through the cycle. Basically, it won't pump out the water... after a while the error lights flash ... on/off light, reduce creases and the time saver lights flash rapidly. I can't seem to find out what this means and don't want to start ripping the machine to pieces until I have an idea! I have never opened a washing machine so it will probably not be too good!

Thanks!

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

Thanks

I saw that soemone else had that problem on the forum. I hae just phoned Hotpoint and they said it was the filter!

Can you please let me know what the pressure sw stuck on empty means and how I could fix it... for a novice like myself who only knows how to put clothes in a washing machine!!!

Cheers
