have kept this going for 18 yrs now, but current problem is: wash cycle gets so far and then drains and just keeps on draining. During the wash the heater stays on all the time - not normal for a 40deg cool wash though not sure. Also if i try to manually advance it onwards the heater element comes on even though there's no water in - eek a mini chernobyl!!

Have you checked the pressure chamber and tub back for blockage?

hi
i've cleaned out the pressure chamber (the plastic bowl was full of crud - sclean as a whistle now) and blown through the pipe from the pressure switch.

what's the tub back? Is that where the pressure chamber plugs in? how do you clean out the tub back?

thanks - gb

Make sure the rubber hose and spout into the tub from the chamber are clear.

Thanks I'll double check the rubber hose to that the chamber plugs into is definitely clear. Anything else it could be - like timer perhaps?

The heating element should not be able to switch on if the pressure switch is working ok.if you gently blow up the hose you should hear three clicks as you blow and three when you release as it has a three level switch.

Checked the pressure switch it worked with the three clicks and the pipe to the tub is clear. Tried a spin 600 cycle and the motor turned - slowly - but heater light came on

what next?
