The dreaded flashing pre wash light again. Followed the instructions to test the element and to clean the inlet, pump and level bell. Worked a treat, Now no flashing light. HOWEVER:….
after every wash the laundry comes out hot. Either the thermostat,(or equivelant) is not working or the heater is not swithching off.
I have checked the thin brown wires to the conector next to the element, and all the way back to the main board, and have looked for any other wires I may have dislodged inadvertantly.
❓ QUESTIONS
1. Any suggestions as to what has gone wrong.
2. How can I test whether the thermostat function is working properly. I have simple test gear, ie. a good multimeter.
3. If necessary can I get replacement components and are they easily installable?
