Blown mains fuse or tripped breaker, Faulty power cord, Failed on/off switch, Blown internal fuse on control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure your hands are dry and the area is safe before checking power. Unplug the washer before opening any panels.
- Check household supply: Verify the wall socket works by plugging in another appliance. Check the fuse in the plug (UK models) and replace with the correct rating if blown.
- Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or kinks. If damaged, replace the entire cord; do not tape over damage.
- On/off switch: Access the control panel and test the on/off switch for continuity with a multimeter. Replace if faulty.
- Internal fuse: Some Hotpoint control boards have an internal fuse. Access the main PCB and visually inspect for a blown fuse. Replace only with the same type and rating. If it blows again, a deeper fault exists and a technician should diagnose.
Warning: Do not bypass fuses or safety devices. If you are unsure, contact a professional.
