    Have you printed out the error codes list as given elsewhere in this forum?

    No errors indicated by top row of lights, have you checked the motor brushes?

    I’ve had this before & it’s usually the PCB. One trick that works sometimes is to unplug the machine & short the live & neutral pins on the plug!! I didn’t believe it but the tip came from a current Hotpoint/Indesit engineer & it’s worked twice for me. It makes the board forget all its troubles & reset.
