Some Hotpoint washing machines can shock you even when unplugged! DIY repair safety advice

Some models of Hotpoint washing machines can electrocute up to 5 minutes AFTER the washing machine has been unplugged. This is not a concern for an ordinary user but if you are attempting a diy washing machine repair do not touch the main PCB until the washing machine has been unplugged for over 5 minutes.

To be on the safe side, follow this advice for all washing machines unless you know it is safe to do otherwise.
