I have the above washing machine,under two years old. Have had repair man out today and it seems the main curcuit board has gone.
I know this is a fairly cheap machine but would have expected it to last longer than this.
It only gets light use.
Have spoken to currys who are not interested as warrenty is up.
Is it worth repairing this machine.
Also, have I any come back on currys for this?Re: Currys essentials c51owm11
from what i can see these board are not that expensive but my first question is what is wrong with the old one and did the engineer who came out come from curries ?
what is the fault and what does the machine do or not do now ?

Re: Currys essentials c51owm11
Thanks for reply, No engineer was just the local chap not from currys. He said he checked every thing else and it was all ok so the only thing it could be was pcb. The machine will not start on any cycle and just has flashing lights and beeping whatever you try to start it.
He didnt say what the fault was with it,just that it probably is not worth repair. As its not old Im still trying to get some sort of answer from currys as it seems I may have soe comeback under the sale of goods actRe: Currys essentials c51owm11
from what you are describing it sounds like a fault code
the problem with currys machines is there are 2 or 3 different sources so it is a guess which make
are all light flashing or only some of them?
do they flash when you turn on ar after you set a programme?
which lights are flashing ?
you could ring currys and try to have a word with one of their engineers to see if he can tell you if it means something.
also if you post info here one of the other lads on here may know

Re: Currys essentials c51owm11
Thanks, when I turn it on and put it on to a cycle, for example cotton, the temp light flashes and it beeps but will not start. The temp light goes to cold. This happens what ever setting I try and it will not start. Engineer has checked all other parts and says it must be pcb and its most likely not worth repair.
I only do 3-4 loads a week and im sure it should have lasted longer than this. I have emailed currys and im waiting for a reply. They were very unhelpfull on the phone. Just said warrenty isup and thats it, however have been looking up sale of goods act and it seems I may have a case.
Re: Currys essentials c51owm11
i take it it starts beeping as soon as you turn on or only when you try to start it
have you tried to see it it will do the rinse programme or spin

Re: Currys essentials c51owm11
It beeps as soon as I turn the on button on, it has a dial to choose cycle, which it does go on to but whatever cycle you choose when you press start it just bleeps and flashes. I have tried all cycles including rinse and drum clean
Re: Currys essentials c51owm11
Anyone have any ideas? Have seen some boards on ebay but not sure if its worth spending more on it.
Would it be worth getting another repair man out?
Im still waiting to hear from currysRe: Currys essentials c51owm11
where abouts do you live ?
have a look on this site for a local repair man and ask his advice

Re: Currys essentials c51owm11
I have had a call from currys they are willing to send someone out to have a look. Will update when they have been
Re: Currys essentials c51owm11
A update, Currys repair man came out and said it was the door lock and main pcb board, If the door lock goes it maked the main board go apparently?? Any way to cut a long story short currys have refunded the cost of the machine as not worth repairing. It pays to kick up a fuss sometimes!
