    Have got a intermittant problem with this machine where it sometimes sticks with 1 min left on display with pump running? Have checked heater, NTC and valves, but all appear to check OK. Has anyone had this problem B4? Bruce.

    Moved to the trade area Bruce 😉

    Blockage in the pressure system maybe ?

    Have not saw this one for a while.

    It is caused by a bad connection between the motor plug and socket on the orange wire to the field coil.

    Just had one of these today, she says she thinks she once saw FH ( no fill ) but recently it has got to the end of spin and stuck with 1 min on display and she can hear a clicking noise which she thinks is the door. If she then sets it to Drain it will complete that cycle, switch OFF and the door can then be opened.

    I set the machine to spin and it went straight through the full 15 minute cycle and switched OFF perfectly. 😕

    I did notice that on checking the filter it apppeared to be well gunged up with soap residue, wondering if a partial pressure hose blockage could be the cause of this fault. ❓

    PS. Just reading the first post, apparently this one switches off the main motor & pump and just leaves the ‘clicking’ noise.

    Hi THere,

    Just to confirm Johnmac11 is correct it is a bad connection between motor loom and motor plug. Orange wire has bad connection or loose. If in doubt change motor loom. Then job will be sorted.
