    Did it stop mid cycle with a burning smell ? or did it just not start a cycle & smell of burning.

    Hiya

    thanks for getting back to me so quick

    it was working fine – then – one day I turned it on – it did a BANG AND A FLASH -happened and then just a burning smell – now it doesnt work on any program

    but it lights up so the fuse works – just nothing else

    is there anything I can check on it – for damage ?

    Ive checked the motor brushes and there is about 20 mm on them they look new – about an “inch” of carbon brush is present on each brush

    it is only about 2 years old

    any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

    cheers

    Hi: Please be aware that the Electronics on these machines are notoriously bad & it is possible for them to blow for no reason.

    PLEASE REMEMBER: POWER OFF & PLUG OUT BEFORE DELVING IN, A :zap: can kill.

    If you remove the top cover & look where the mains flex enters the machine, to 1 side of it you will find the mains filter. Can you check that the top of this is not bulged or blown out.
