My WD860 (the most unreliable machine I have ever owned!) has recently started stopping mid-cycle.
It has done it 2 or 3 times, but that’s too many.
It will start the wash/rinse/spin but then part way through – no specific part – it will stop. The countdown however will continue and the door unlocks at the end.
The first time it did it, it left the machine full of water mid-rinse and then unlocked the door at the end. It’s a good job I spotted it before I opened the door!
Any ideas what this could be? It’s under extended warranty so shouldn’t be an issue getting it fixed.
Re: WD860 Stopping Mid-Cycle
sounds like you have an obstruction in the sump-hose/ pump /drain.
the machine gives a generous time to pump out then moves to the next part of the cycle………if the water level is still high enough, it will “assume” it has taken in enough and carry on…..possibly the spin will be inhibited,as it would kill the motor to try and spin under those circumstances…..so yes, it seems logical that you’d get to end of program and have an unlocked machine full of water.
may be worth checking for coins/keys/jewellery/scrunchies/hair bobbles /matchsticks / bits of twig/straw…..jamming the pump or blocking the hoses.
It’s unlikely your guarantee will cover such misuse and you WILL get hammered, for such a callout.
