Ariston lsv 66 making a “hot oily” kind if smell

[seanhale]

First post here folks so please be gentle.
I have the think in bits on the lawn at the moment trying to trck down this smell.
Last time it did it was when the filters were blocked. This time however they are all clean and the outlet pipe is not kinked or blocked. Any ideas or is it time to junk it and go shopping? (its 7 yrs old)

many thanks

Circulation pump and its start/run capacitor would be the place to start. Check wiring to heating element, terminal block and mains suppressor. If it’s on the lawn, I won’t need to tell you to unplug it. 😀
