Same happened me - the drier heater circuit has a safety cut-out (160°C, Red Spot) which does not reset, the component must be replaced. It is not a simple DIY task as it is fitted from the INSIDE of the air heater duct.

In my case, there were signs of burnt fluff in the duct. I suspect that fluff was sucked into the duct by the fan, dried out, burned and tripped the safety cut-out.

check the length of the motor brushes. new are about 30mm long. should also clean up the motor with compressed air. Remove the electronic module also do a cleanup in all contacts of connectors. If necessary wash with isopropyl alcohol which can be purchased at a pharmacy. Dry with a hair dryer. Do not forget to make reset to clear the error. (Pressing the start button until all the LEDs light up)

-There is not fuse. But there are thermal fuse (Possibly 3) -Disconnect main power and open back panel cover. You'll see it. -Possibly heater element burn out. Good Luck Mai

Heater Relay fault call Hotpoint

Try a wet dry vacuum cleaner set up for wet use.

Make sure all water is drained first

F03 - Wash thermistor open/short circuit*

Sorry to have been so long in getting back to you, I have been trying to obtain a wiring diagram for your model, unfortunately ,I cannot get one, so am sorry to say I cannot help on this occasion.

Hi.
F05 means pressure jammed on full or pump not draining.If pump o/k, then you will neeed to call an engineer.

Unplug and let sit for 2 hours and replug in

blueextc322 posted thisF12 isnt an easy code to diagnose. It means the mcu isnt communicating with the ccu. The problem could be the door lock or either board. I would recommend calling a tech out.It is similar to the F11 error - see the following....."F11" is a Serial Communications error between the Central Control Unit (CCU) and Motor Control Unit (MCU). The CCU is the main computer for the washer and is located directly behind the wash tub. The MCU is the Drive Motor Control board and is located in the rear of the washer adjacent to the Drive Motor on the left-hand side (facing from the rear with the back panel removed). The wiring harness can also cause the error, but it is not as common a problem.Whirlpool is the manufacturer of both model washers and recommends the following troubleshooting advice. Remove the top panel of the washer by removing the three screws holding it in place in the rear. Once the screws are removed, the panel slides back, then off. Remove the rear panel of the washer for access to the drive motor and MCU. Now check the following:- Check the wire harness connections between the CCU, the MCU and Drive Motor. Make sure all connections are attached and making good contact. Check for any broken wires or connector pins.- Check the Drive Motor to see if it free spins and that the belt is still attached and not slipping. If the motor is seized, replace it. If the belt is broken or worn, replace it as well.- Check the MCU. Connector 1 is the Serial Communications Link between the MCU and CCU. Connector 2 is the connector to the drive motor. Resistance checks across pins 1, 2, & 3 are the motor windings. Connector 3 is the power supply - 120VAC should be read across pins 1 and 2 with the door in the locked position. NOTE: The connectors are read 1, 2, and 3 from the bottom to the top with the MCU installed.- Check the CCU. Verify connectors 7 and 11 are properly installed. Facing from the front of the washer, connector 7 is the 4th connector from the RIGHT along the front. This is MCU Power. Connector 11 is the Serial Communications link from the CCU to the MCU and is located along the left hand side of the CCU (the connectors are numbered 11 through 14 back to front).- Check the Drive Motor. Remove the connector and perform resistance checks on the motor connector pins. Readings across pins 1 to 2, 2 to 3 and 1 to 3 should read 6 ohms.In most cases this is an indication of a failed CCU. This is an easy repair that the average do-it-yourselfer can accomplish on their own. If the washer is still under a warranty, parts and labor would be covered. With no warranty, a replacement parts will vary in price depending on where you get them. There are several good websites available that you can order parts on line and have shipped directly to you.NOTE: Remove all the connectors from the CCU ONE AT A TIME and reconnect to see if the error code goes away BEFORE you decide to purchase a new one. It is not common, but sometimes a flaky connection can generate error codes.

Open Back side Cover you will see the belt

see the error mean:God bless youUsually means that either the touch pad or the oven control (also called clock or ERC) is defective and needs to be replaced. If this fault code cannot be cancelled, replace the oven control (also called clock or ERC), touch pad, or both.Read more: http://www.appliancepartspros.com/repair-help/hotpoint-fault-codes.html#ixzz2gUdlkOnE http://www.appliancepartspros.com
