Hi guys
The cycle is stuck at 42 minutes. There is a motor noise coming from the machine - which continues even with the door open. No water is laying in the bottom. Pouring in fresh water from a jug (well, several jug-fulls!) and turning the machine on, the water is pumped away ok. Pressing and holding the two re-set buttons sets the timer back to zero (from 42 mins remaining) but does nothing to clear the fault.
I've checked the anti-flood device and it appears ok. It moves up and down as I'd expect it to and the microswitch can be heard to operate.
I've removed the inlet water valve and checked it on the bench. Upon initial power up it buzzed quite loudly but, with a bit of a tap, it then seemed to work ok (like it was stuck?). I also blew quite a bit of muck out of it.
I will refit the valve tonight but, in the event that the problem is still there (indicating a power supply failure), what could be my next line of investigation? (Further disassembly of the machine looks difficult without a repair manual!)
Thanks,
Gary
