Thanks Rocks, I did that - here the callout cost inc parts is €159. We decided to go for a new one coming in at €389. Plus €20 for delivery and collection of the old one. We got good innings out of the wd61x, no probs for over 10 years. Made the above decision as we...

And todays report .. I got a meter and did continuity tests from plug to on / off switch to board to motor. From the Interlock switch ... Continuity fine on all. Still no start - I even changed the whole sealed plug to a new one .. no go! Giving up at this stage as the next thing is...

Yip, Ahead of you there :D I just tried that. All still dead. No lights, no sounds. I wont be able to get a meter until tomorrow, just got call from Bro in Law, pub time .. hic! Ill update when I get a meter, if you think of anything by all means pop it up here - me back in about...

Shur why dont you drop over here all together and have a look :D Go for a few pints of Guinness afterwards ( thats where I am off to shortly ) - 21.34 here at mo. Yes - its sort of odd, I dont have anyway here to check if Juice is getting into the machine and I dont have a meter either...

Already checked x a zillion times. All wires present and connected to correct "prongs". RED to C BLACK to N BROWN to L Aidan

Checked those wires - all seem fine. If that switch is gone would it do what is described below?? I should also have said the following: With the new Interlock added the door closes fine. However when you TURN ON the Machine ( switch out ) nothing happens. The door close light remains off...

Maybe a silly question - but said I would throw it in any way just in case. Tried various 13 amp fuses, still no joy. Didnt try other socket BUT did try other appliances on that socket and all worked fine. Yes, had the door shut, start button then popped out - again no joy! Aidan

K, No track burn. On/off switch cables fine. Still no go - she deaded in the water. I ran my hand behind the DOOR BOOT RUBBER GASKET SEAL that goes from the door back to the drum. Their is a tear up by the interlock unit in the rubber. If that rubber collar tears, can that be sensed also...

Just checked the PCB. No visible fried / burnt out tracks either. The way the wires are attached to the Interlock Switch - does it matter which way around you attach them / push them on? Is their any 2 amp glass fuse in these units near the motor? If so where and could that be an issue...

By the way will the machine work with the top "hood" off or are their sensors that detect this? Aidan

Hi Rocks1, Tis the day after - I got the new interlock switch ( $25 ). Fitted it as per your instructions - THANK YOU FOR THAT. Before I continue, does it matter which way around one fits each individual wire to its appropriate prong? Anyway, The door closes in place. BUT now no DOOR...

If you ever need computer / internet related assistance? Not sure if you can send a message to me via here? Have to wait til tomorrow to get said part .. Aidan

The Interlock Switch Unit is a METALFLEX Tip ZV-445 To the right of that text is a small 4 and 98 Further down it says Model M 4 Aidan

Jeez, You get around :D I had put that message up there in the interim before you answered back double checking out of nerves, meanwhile you answered. As it happens one answer - the same. Basically when we put in a wash yesterday morning and closed the door, switched on - no DOOR CLOSED...

Hey Rocks1, Thanking you, I just for obvious reasons wanted to make sure before attempting this lest I blow myself up :D Would you advice so - before I go to the trouble of getting a new Interlock Switch to inspect the PCB? In my case ( in Cork, Ireland ) the PCB? is vertically...
