Symptoms:
Loads water and cycles – programmer doesnt move.
On moving the programmer, the cycle continues.
Water is cold.
Heater element showed 23 ohms so replaced the 50/65 degree thermostat without thinking.
Other thermostat (dual ganged) across the heater element is ok.
Live – from the programmer – feeds the element.
traced the (neutral) common yellow wiring run back to the programmer.
Yellow wiring run shows 85 ohms to neutral – so problem is in between programmer and neutral.
Programmer is a “black box switch” with no info.
Question is –
Is there a switch/sensor feeding neutral into the programmer
otherwise – at £120 for a new programmer – a new machine is needed.
