    I have run this machine on a 95 degree cycle to clean out all the old powder etc. It now will not work , power lights come on you can hear the cold fill start but it then cuts off instantly. I have cleared the drain and the pressure switch tube.I also have water coming to the machine from the mains. Do you think this is a failure of the inlet valve or could it be a sensor issue,cant understand why it would just pack up after the hot wash cycle

    All the lights come on as normal,the water is just not coming throughwhich is why I thought it must be the inlet valve. The machine will not work on the drain or spin cycles either…..

    The door locks but the light only comes on briefly doesnt stay on only the wash light stays on. I havnt checked the brushes in the motor. I briefly spoke to an engineer earlier he seemed to think it was a module down near the pump ???

    I would strongly advise you not to run the machine under load until you replace the brushes, doing this with worn brushes can easily blow the main PCB.
