Seeking Sherlock Holmes - AEG LAVAMAT 64810 no power

[MBT]

AEG LAVAMAT 64810 (seriol no: 63772021), purchased August 2006.

Dead, dead, dead.

Power supply on, fuse new, plug head looks good, as does lead.

Yet, LED display does not light up at all. Tried holding down start/pause button and one next to it (and all other combinations) to see if LED would light up, but would not.

Unsolved mystery...any advice out there?

If your sure you have power to the pcb then its the pcb thats failed and sometimes it can be the door switch thats caused it

 

[MBT]

Aye, aye captain!

So, replace the door switch, PCB, or both?

And, what causes the door switch to break the PCB - being too rough with it?

Many, many thanks!

you can sometimes see yellow discolouration on the side of the door switch which may give a clue
