Mend Hotpoint WF865A Washing Machine Fault Repair

How can I get Hotpoint Ultima WF865A out of Test Mode?

My 35 day old top of the range hotpoint Ultima WF865A seems to display Test when you ask it to start washing.

Not very impressive Hotpoint!

Worked for me too. Why wasn,t this in the manual? I suspect they are trying to make money out of us! Not good at all!

Bryan,

Not sure if you ave solved this already, but for anyone else who has this problem and cannot contact Hotpoint here's the solution.

Stop the "TEST" cycle by holding down the "START/CANCEL" Button. ("Test" should disappear off the display)
Then hold down "START/CANCEL" & "ON/OFF" at the same time for a few seconds. The message "d:Off" should appear in the display. Everything should work now.
