Fills,wash light comes on and drum turns a few times. Then it stops and does nothing with wash light still on.
Selected spin, it drains then stops with spin light on and does nothing.
Tested all water valves and supplies, both heating elements, p. sw 3 clicks and not blocked, wash thermistor 9.6k in cold room, dryer thermistor 9k, pump fine. Interlock fine.
Fascia board costs about 200 and machine is reputedly 9 yrs old.
Commutator looks clean but could low brushes cause this?
Ideas please.

Commutator looks clean but could low brushes cause this?Rather than the fascia board I would think the trouble lies between the main Power Module in the base and the motor itself? Insulation fault with the motor can cause the tracks to blow on the module. 🙁
When it tumbles, does it go in both directions OK? Dodgy Module Relay will mean it may just tumble in one direction only. 😉

Martin, I think you might have it there. I think it was one direction only. I better go back and take some spare relays with me. I did look at that power module but there were no blown tracks on it. It just shows that merloni weren’t the first to invent difficult to pull out power modules!
Any idea what relays are used? IIRC they were reddish brown.

Dunno what colour they are Mike, but I think they may be as you say, reddish-brown? 😕
Tumbling in one direction only likely means the spin direction relays are the guilty party as it won’t tumble in the spin direction (spin direction normally being clockwise looking from the front of the machine I reckon) 😉

Oh well. Customer didn’t like the idea of two more visits, uncertain time taken and possible BER anyway, so called it a day.
Too bad. Don’t care about lost job as have enough work at mo but that machine must have cost a fortune to start with and was a lovely bit of engineering and still clean as a whistle. Still I suppose you can pick up something that looks just as good now for a lot less dough.:|
