What to do
- Try one reset
Unplug for 2 minutes, then try again.
When to call an engineer
If the reset doesn't clear it. The sensor sits on the heating circuit, and Hotpoint's advice is to book an engineer.
A repair visit will usually check the sensor's reading with a meter, then its wiring.
Before you book
- Note the model and serial number. They're on a label inside the door, around the door frame or on the back.
- Write down the exact code, and what the appliance was doing when it appeared.
- Check whether it's still under warranty. If it is, the repair may cost you nothing.
Parts people end up buying
Only if the checks above point to a part. Match it to your model number first: it's on a label inside the door, around the door frame or on the back.
