Three year old machine – been working fine till now ( apart from occasional squeaking drum on startup sometimes. ) Now when switched on, programme selected and start button pressed it runs for a few seconds then stops, lights go out and then back on with start button flashing. When this problem first started it would sometimes run if a different programme was selected – sometimes for the full prog and sometimes only part. Now it just aborts when prog started and returns to pre-start state. I had thought it might be a cable break shorting out under applied load on startup but have disconnected appliance from spur, fitted plug, manipulated cable and still the same problem. I’m stuck!!
