Hi, I’ve got a margherita 2000 AWD125 Advantage which is 3 years old. Whichever programme I select, the knob just keeps clicking around. When it starts doing it, the neon flashes very rapidly – initially too fast to count how many times, then, whilst it’s clicking round, it settles into flashing in groups of 3. I’ve emptied the filter, checked the drain. Any other ideas anyone? It’s driving me insane :rotfl: It’s been doing it for a while but been ok after combinations of draining filter/setting it to “pump” before a programme/turning off the power etc, but nothing is working now at all. Even when I turn it to “stop/reset” it does the same thing – water in the pre-wash compartment, pumping and the clicking round of the dial… It’s only 3 years old and I’ve treated it well….
Please help!!

Hi Penguin,
Sorry for the double post 😳
This is your reply from the other thread
“Theoretically it’s a temperature sensor problem – sensor failed, wiring broken at terminals (famous fault) or associated circuitry on the computer board. Awkward one – pro help often best bet.
Check Directories or Repairs@ for a UKW engineer in your area.
If you wish to look yourself, pull the plug first
Regards,
Penguin45″I’ve read through every thread pertaining to all the Margherita 2000s and now really regret not doing any research before we bought this machine. I’m about to have my first baby and don’t have any spare cash at the moment so I’m beginning to panic a bit. I’m a bit of a diy-er however and would like to have a go at fixing this myself before stretching my credit card any further…. I’ve done a bit of electrical work in the past and am quite dextrous, so if you could point me in the direction of those terminals I’m happy to have a look at those for broken wires.
Thank you!

Charley, we can’t go in to specifics I’m afraid due to legal restrictions on what we can and can’t tell you but check around the heater area at the back of the drum 😉
Whatever you do, pull the plug 1st :zap:
