I bought the Hotpoint WD440P in Oct 2006, so have had it for 3.5 years. I have had no problem with it until now, but don't use the drier function at all now - preferring to hang up my clothing and save electricity - it did take a long time to dry stuff. Otherwise found the washer fine until last month, when all the control panel lights started flashing when I turned it on. It did come finally, and I could use it, but the length of time the lights flash before the machine actually turns on has got longer and longer, so I finally called the service man and now find that the computer board has gone. Apparently this has been a fault on other models he has worked on - so now I face a £150 repair bill. I elected to have it fixed this time - but am now wondering whether that was the right choice.
