    Hi Guys,
    The above washing machine just keeps washing, on a number 5 (60 degree fast wash) it fill ok, heats fine, drains fine but just keeps washing even though the timer gets down to 0:01mins its still only indicating its on the wash part of the program (not moved on to rinse and spin or final spin). could it be the board?
    Thanks in advance

    Check ins resistance & continuity of heater – although its heating it could be low ins resistance causing fault – usually heater when it sticks at 1 min.

    859 on Ins

    If thats 859 ohms rather than 859 million ohms then I would suggest you change the heater. Any ready less than 5 million ohms on these machines can throw things out.
