Runs for about 10 mins or so stops with the additional rinse and reduced spin speed light coming on also the pause start light goes red, any ideas?

have you checked known fault codes page 7

God she has me under pressure with this one :rolls: . I did look but nothing reffering to lights. It starts ok. The problem happens when it starts to heat. While it’s heating and the drum rotates you can hear a clicking from one of the relays ( only when rotating and only when heating) Does this for about 10 seconds and stops with the lights showing below.

Re: Amica awct 10 L

has all the makings of a board fault

sound like the power supply to the board is not good enough

ie say power supply 12 volt (only example ) relay pulls for heater so power rail drops to 9v under this load. motor starts to turn power rail drops to 7v when triac fired. relay drops out too little voltage to hold in. power rail goes up after relay drops out so relay pulls back in again and so on

got a board in front of me. there is a blue capacitor 2.2uF that provides power through a 100 ohm resistor. To proove these may be faulty there is a green capacitor
by the plug C2 470uF 25v put a meter on this while machine is running ( you could solder wires on if you find it easier) I would assume voltage should be around 20 to 24v if you start getting voltages below 15v you have a problem most likly the big blue capacitor

hope this helps
