Hi
I have a washing machine that is full of water and clothes - it just stopped mid cycle and wont respond to anything.
I guess its likely that it is the fuse that has blown but just wanted to check if it could potentially be anything else.
Any advice greatly appreciated

Well given your description and you haven't even bothered to check the fuse, what did you expect.

I havent checked the fuse yet, because the machine is in a rental flat of mine and the tenants were away for the evening and I couldnt get hold of them to see if they were fine with me accessing the property.
I therefore posted on here to see if anyone had any other tips before I went round (and obviously) will try the fuse first!

More information is required before a diagnosis can be attempted.
Make and model would also be very helpful.
One thing though, if the fuse has blown then there is definitely something wrong with the machine. A fuse only blows when it's rated capacity is exceeded and your washing machine shouldn't pull 13 amps or more.
