Thank you so much for all your suggestions - they have been enlightening and entertaining. My husband took the top off the machine and pressed and wiggled everything he could find that looked moveable -hey presto - it works!! Thank you again. :D
I turned on the machine with 2 transit bolts still in place. The machine took in water but then stopped and lights went out. I removed bolts but the machine will not start again. Fuse is OK, so is electric socket. No lights showing on machine. Have I killed it for good?
