    Hi, this machine has started doing strange things.
    There are no fault codes displayed.

    The machine will start a program ok but will only wash for a few minutes. It then just sits there for 20 minutes, sometimes more, just doing nothing. It then starts to empty, but does that for a long time too. It will eventually go onto the rinse cycle, but only does this quickly. The final spin seems to be normal.

    Does anyone know what can cause this?
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks.
    Paul

    I’ll go check that as I never thought about the heater!
    Thanks Martin.

    Little update…
    Disconnected then tested heater element, which was fine. Reconnected, then started a wash cycle so I could test the supply to it, which was fine too.
    Then the bloody machine went through the cycle as normal with no problems! So it’s working again!
    Bad connection maybe, or it was just having a bad day and wanted to take the p… out of me 😆
    Drain pump is starting to get rather noisy, so that will get replaced next week hopefully.

    Anyway, thank you for your help. Much appreciated.
