Hi, sorry for jumping straight in with a problem as a new member but we're having some issues with out washing machine and I want to try and sort it out before it turns in to a big problem.
Basically when a wash cycle starts it seems to be struggling to fill with water and sounds like water is being pumped in in very stop start manner, rather than continuous. There is also a flashing of lights on the front panel. Although it is doing this to start, it does seem to be completing a cycle in the end.
I have read lots of stuff about pressure switch problems so I've taken the top off the machine and disconected the tube from the pressure switch. blowing in to the swicth give an audible click, then another when you stop blowing. Also, blowing down the tube you can hear air the other end so doesn't seem to be blocked.
My description of the problem isn't great so I've shot a little video, which my help in someone giving me some pointers.
