Thanks Rocks1, that worked for me, I never would have put door fault with worn brushes. Thanks again I thought it was time for a new machine.

Tested the 4 micro F capacitor today in the machine and it is not starting the motor all the time. Can I put in a 5 micro farad capacitor without causing any safety issues. Thanks, mick.

Thanks for your help got a 4 micro farad and the motor is now starting by itself. Dish washer fixed for my friend for 16 euro.

removed the motor yesterday and as in another post on this forum the motor will start if given a little help (flick of a screwdriver). I have recommended that the my friend buys a new dishwasher or buy a replacement motor which is a bit expensive.

Repaired this fault and washing machine is now working fine, thanks for all your help lads.

thanks for that rocks 1 going to buy the part on the way home (its my mothers washing machine and she is willing to pay that bit more to have it repaired that bit sooner hopefully). Will check the wiring also as suggested, thanks again.

Just wondering if rocks could help me with a similar problem as in this post except that the door will not open on my washing machine and the green door locked lamp remains on. The door interlock is also a TIP ZV-445 and the locking pin is permanently out. If you could give us a quick...
