Thanks. Really appreaciate your help all. Last quesiton. EP 6000 does have a 3A Spur and battery fitted-in where as EP 6002 doesnt have any spur or battery. Circuit diagram for 6002 shows the spur between N & L. Was wondering if I want to use already fitted backboard with new EP6002, how...

Gurus plzz confirm....Already ordered 6002.

Thanks All. Your replies have really encouraged me to DIY (replacing 6000 with 6002). Any suggessions how to remove the EP6000 from the backplate? I see a little rectangular slot at the bottom of the 6000, is that something when pushed unclips the programmer? (looks like 6000 seems to be...

Attached is the image for my current hard wired washing machine. Is this flex outlet plate? So can I replace with 13A socket without issues(as per you comment in quotes)?

Thanks all for your advice. It was very very helpful.

Thanks All, I measured the machine size and I believe there might not be enough room for the socket. So now sticking to the hard wiring option for new machine. Another question: Would removing the plug for hard wiring void any gurantee/warrentee on my machine. It's a Hotpoint WDD960P...
