I have just replaced the bearings and spider on this machine after the bearings disintegrated and blew the machine. Now if I try a wash cycle the MCB trips but not immediately. If I try a spin cycle the drum turns a few times and the machine attempts to empty water ( there is none in there), it does this for a few minutes then gives me the error code E15 outlet blocked. If I try a drying cycle I get the E15 code immediately. I can't see any obvious faults with the electrics. The heater element appears OK Resistance of approx 27ohms. Pressure switch appears to be working, pipe to pressure switch is clear and obviously I have checked outlet pipes and they are clear. What else can I do?

Check the heater you will have 2 groves cut on the heater and as it let's water in it will trip and come up with that error code. Very common for the heater to go as the drum surport has been rubbing on it.
