I have a Hotpoint WT741 washing machine and I was getting the f-08 error code. I was told it was probably the control board so I got a refurbished board that was programmed for me and my machine worked for 2 months then the problem came back, the company sent me a replacement board and work for a week. Since then if you switch the machine off when you get the error code for few hours it will then work for a few washes then the same thing happens again. It always seems to stop with about 15 to 20 minutes remaining when it is spinning or about to spin.
