Hi
I have a WF440 washing machine which went faulty after 13 months from new.
I didn't used the machine for 6 months because went on holiday, when i came back i noticed the drum inside had seized up.
I turned the drum with my hands a few times, and switched it on, the machine kept taking water in but didn't spin so i opened it up and took out the pcb which is connected to the motor i did a quick component check and cleaned the pcb board, then i started plugging in all the connectors when i finished i was left with two wires which went to the heating element. i left the two wires to one side and powered the washer up it started to spin, that was a very good sign, but now i need to plug the heater wires in because the on/off botton keeps flashing when it takes out water.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE THE TWO HEATER WIRES GO ON THE PCB. The 2 wires are BLUE WITH GREEN STRIP and OTHER IS BROWN WITH GREEN STRIP can someone tell me where they go please.

Hi again
i connected the one with the black cover next to the 3 pin door connector and the crimped one next to the pressure switch (as 2 spade are free on ether side of the door connector). Then switched it on and it still did the same, have i got the wires wrong way round or do they go on the front side of the 3 pin door switch.
Thanks
 
they go in the middle of the 2 blocks dead centre of pic
