Hotpoint WM52 timer PCB two-pin green wire connection query

The problem

After repairing the timer PCB on a Hotpoint WM52 washing machine, the owner was unsure where a green 2-pin push-on wire should reconnect on the timer PCB. The available PCB markings were PUMP, TEST and RPM, and the concern was that guessing could damage the PCB.

Likely cause

A disconnected wire during timer PCB refitting. The exact terminal location was not given in the discussion.

What fixed it

The accepted reply could not provide a wiring diagram and noted that some spare connectors may be for testing only, while asking whether the wire had definitely been connected before. The owner later confirmed the wire had been connected previously and said they found video footage that showed the correct location, after which the machine was fine. The exact connector position was not documented in the thread.

Checks to try

• Owner identified the three possible PCB connection points marked PUMP, TEST and RPM
• Owner confirmed the green 2-pin wire had been connected previously
• Owner used video footage to identify the wire location
