hi guys, the Hotpoint has developed an odd problem, its something to do with the cold water that's all i know, the machine will fill at the start of the wash but not with cold water, just hot and it dosent fill for prewash, it wont fill on rinses 1-3 but will fill up on final rinse, i have already put the Bendix's cold inlet in and it worked fine for a wash then it went dodgy again, is it the pressure switch that's faulty?

again. Had enough this time. Reporting you for 1 word answers like you have been warned not to make.
enough is enough especially when you clearly dont know what you are talking about. Phil, Id say its not the pressure switch as it would not work or fill full stop. Its definitely to do with the cold water solenoid that the timer instructs the fill to come thru on the prewash and main rinses which both fill in the same sections of the powder drawer. Now either the timer is burning out solenoids somehow with over supplying current??? if possible??? or you have had just bad luck with both. tempted to say try a new one and if that burns out its a timer issue. However Id also want to say it could be a timer issue as you have had trouble with the timer before. Seems like its not sending power to supply the solenoid or a cable between the timer and solenoid has lost connection. These 3 things need to be looked at really as im sure the fault is in there somewhere. |

A cheap and convenient valve test jig is a mains cord with female spade connectors on the end. (Use caution handling mains.) On multivalve machines you have to correlate which valve should open at which timer setting. This gets you out of that, or even plugging the machine in.
Put the jig spades on the valve and plug it in. If water does not run, valve is bad. Unfortunately, you can't ohm valve solenoids definitively. They can read nominal resistance and still not operate, I've had dryer gas valves do that. If the jig shows that all the valves operate on mains, the timer is not instructing them to open. You can jigger with the timer phases and a voltmeter, but you still have to know which valve is supposed to work when. |
