Hotpoint WDD960P Help please

HaggisMuncher

I have the above washing machine and when I went to use it earlier, the door wouldn't open and an error message F06 came up! I put a short spin on and this worked but when the cycle was complete the error message came back up! Any ideas what can be up with it please or how to fix it? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Have a look at this page.

From what google shows it looks like a control board error, so maybe try opening the door manually, and unplugging the machine for an hour or so and then try again. I don't have any experience really with hotpoint machines, but worth a go? If that fails then call hotpoint if it is still under warranty. If not, then call around and get a few quotes for repair.

Whenever my washing machine doors have jammed I have managed to open them with a credit card to take the safety catch off (I recommend using an old card/one you don't mind if it breaks just in case) You can do this by sliding it down where the safety lock is and just keep wriggling etc till it clicks off. Doesn't always work, but is worth trying, it beats having mouldy clothes.
