Thanks to Paul and his video I found out that my machine was one of the recalled models, had the machine for 13 years without problem until the F06 error yesterday. As instructed in the video, I checked my model on the whirlpool recall website and I now have a replacement machine coming on Friday. Thank you so much for this video and the warning, otherwise I would never had known I was using a ticking time bomb, and what could have happened doesn't bear thinking about. EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!!

[@MahmoudTaha92]

I was able to fix it myself after watching your amazing explanation. I bought the spare part and replaced it and it worked just perfect. Thank you!

I hope you inspected the wiring room for any damage as this was not whirlpool's problem they just had a fault that they inherited with the door interlock it's usually a simple fix but well worth spending the time to inspect the wiring loomom

[@umnumshibai]

Hi. Thanks for your video, very helpful. Unfortunately the model I have seems to be missing the green tab to release the door lock. I've registered it for the recall, but do you have any other suggestions for opening the door to get the clothes out? It had finished the cycle so there's no water inside. Thanks! Al

Hi Paul, I would just like to say how fantastic your how 2 repair videos are, they are easy to follow, very informative and you make everything so easy to understand. Thank you for doing what you do. Your videos are such a great help to me and I'm sure to so many others. My apologies having to contact you this way. I’ve sent two emails via your website on the 17th 6:24pm and 23rd 12:33pm November but I’ve yet to hear back. I’ve also been in contact via your ebay page and again don’t seem to be getting very far. How can I contact you direct please? Many Thanks

Hoover washing machine programming keys do not press and gives (error e13 ) why?

[@leventgoktem462]

Mine machine was giving the F06 error. I cleaned the drainage pump. After that, the problem has gone. I found out a hairpin and a coin. I think the hairpin blocked the blades turn.

[@carolscott9814]

My hotpoint 8kg tumble dryer has a fo6 error code turns off after a few seconds no sensor light on

[@Hwash500-t18]

I have a hotpoint aqualtis washer dryer and it stopped working it doesn’t turn on and the door interlock and wiring is burnt on it, it’s not a recalled model aswell do you think it can be repaired?

[@How-to-repair]

This may be one that slipped through the net but if you replace the wiring harness and the door interlock you will most probably find that the new door lock is a newer type

[@gordonrobertson1494]

Interesting, as I have an indesit iwdc6105 which is NOT on the recall list but it has the burnt out door switch and wiring. Looks like the same fault, but no support from indesit, as not on recall list

[@How-to-repair]

i would keep pushing them as many were not on that list Thankyou For leaving a comment this is for you kzbin.infoe432SAb2g08 please remember to subscribe as that's is was keeps this channel going. Thanks 👍

[@AScotAbroad2407]

Took off the foot plate, but there is no pull cord to use to open the door, so clothes are still stuck inside.

[@darrenharan9555]

Iv had the problem with the burnt lock iv replaced it and when I hit START the lock light just flashes as before. The wire loom looks to be fine.

My model us 1we71451 . They say it is not one of the recalls

[@swfcnumber1wawaw69]

The recall started way back in December 2019

[@justifiedsoul69]

I am so grateful that you made this video! Our machine has been playing up of late and has has had the "F 06" error code twice now. Yesterday was the second time and I could not get the machine to restart. Everything I tried resulted in the lock symbol on the display flashing. When I decided to look this up I saw your video with the prominent warning and quickly followed the link to the Hotpoint website. It turns out ours is a recalled machine and they are going to send a new machine out next week! They did say we might be able to run it at a 20° wash meantime, but I'm concerned now I've seen the burned out lock in your video. Would it be safe to do this? Thank you so much for sharing this, it literally could have been a life saver!

Got the replacement lock from your site and the code is still appearing, but I can open and close door as normal. Any ideas please?

Did you check the wiring plug and the harness going to the printed circuit board? If this is all in good condition you may have a damaged PCB @petegphillips please remember to subscribe to our channel as that really helps us kzbin.infoe432SAb2g08 Thanks, Paul 👍

I replaced the interlock but it still didn't work. Do you have any other suggestions?

I can’t get my door to close? Does anyone have any ideas, I have no green pull, and I have got the seal off but the door lock won’t release? 😢

[@How-to-repair]

This will either be a faulty door lock, mechanism or possibly a door handle, but without having more information I cannot assist

[@mhsooty]

I've seen so many of these machines with this issue but when you call Hotpoint, they say it's no an affected machine. If they day this insist it's a huge fire issue and get them to replace or fix it for you. The have only recalled half he affected machines in my eyes.

[@How-to-repair]

in 2014 Hotpoint ,Indesit Ariston in my opinion was about 20% of uk marketplace. They produce the machines for approximately 4 years before realising it was a serious fire Hazard. if we estimate 3 million washing machines are sold in the United Kingdom per year at that time. you do your numbers lol. I have also had a shop in Europe and I have never heard of a recall taking place over there!! but I have seen the problem on these brands many times on European models

[@Motherboard686]

This is why I never recommend Hotpoint/Indesit to anyone. You never know when's the next recall!
