Hotpoint Wd860 Stops On 1 Min Left
Hi,
I've got a Hotpoint WD860 washing machine. On all cycles it runs fine, then stops on 1 min for ever. You have to cancel the cycle then rinse & spin.
Any ideas what the fault could be? No lights or warning messages.
Thanks
Hugh
Solution Summary
AI-generated from this discussion
This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Hotpoint WD860 stops at 1 minute remaining on all cycles
- The problem
- The Hotpoint WD860 completes most of the programme but then stays at 1 minute remaining indefinitely on all cycles. The user can only finish by cancelling and selecting rinse and spin. No warning lights or error messages were reported.
- Likely cause
- The accepted reply says this symptom has previously been caused by an open-circuit heating element. It was also noted that this fault would usually produce a quicker timeout and an error code, but an anomaly may allow it to happen without an error if the heater goes open circuit during the wash.
- What fixed it
- Check the heating element for an open-circuit fault if competent to do so. If not, arrange an engineer visit. The exact repair was not confirmed in the discussion.
- Checks to try
- Observed that the machine runs normally until 1 minute remaining on all cycles
- No lights or fault codes were reported
- Rinse and spin can be run after cancelling the stuck cycle
- Heating element suggested to be checked for open-circuit fault
- Parts or tools mentioned
- heating element
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

I've had this before, if I remember right an open circuit heating element can cause the washer to stick on wash for a few hours then jump to one minute remaining. However, a heater not working should cause a time out much quicker than that and result in a proper error code. There's some anomaly that can allow this to happen though, if I remember right it could be if the heater goes open circuit during a wash it causes no error code to be displayed. It's worth checking the heater if you know how, but otherwise get an engineer in.
