    Hi,
    Door lock just opens near the end of main wash portion of cycle. Error code displayed is 16 – I think? (Start/Pause LED 1 x flash and End LED 6 x flashes). Is this a PCB fault or door lock or something else. Washer is situated in an outbuilding and has had it’s control PCB changed previously (not by me).
    Thanks,
    Conor!

    Can’t find a 16 but 61 would be heating stage not successful.

    End of cycle indicates 1st digit, start/pause indicates 2nd digit=
    E61, this can also be NTC fault, the NTC may not be registering a change in temperature. Earth fault is also common on these heaters or P.C.B could be at fault.

    Thanks Seamy,
    Will check ntc, what value should I see? When you say earth fault what does that mean?

    Earth fault means current leakage to earth, in this case probably through the heating element. Best checked with a megger. Do a search (horizontal menu, just above where it says, “Post a reply” ) using that term. That should give you enough reading for about a week. Most especially read the sticky thread near the top of the General Trade Forum entitled, “Domestic Appliance testing.” And keep your head down now, before someone shoots at you 😉 .
    The only case of E61 I ever came across was intermittent and a new 12v relay on the board sorted it. (Again, a search will help you there.) Oh, and another search for ntc test.
    Mike.

    Thanks Mike,
    Anyone know where the best (and quickest) place is to buy 12v relay and other components?
