Good evening all,

Have had a good look/inspection of the above washing machine at a public house that is misbehaving.

Essentially, on a wash cycle all appears fine, yet having monitored the machine it then “sticks” on 2 minutes remaining, having not drained during said cycle.

I suspected the heater, so Mega tested it, and it is fine.

Then ran a drain/spin cycle (14 minutes, I think) and the machine simply washes, and does not drain, or go onto a fast spin, before again sticking on 2 minutes remaining.

I removed the twin pump assembly, and the Ohms readings are fine, and not obstructed.

Before advising that the board is faulty (£176.60 + vat!) I would welcome any feedback, as the washer is only 18 months old, and in a pub utility room environment. (hence, no warranty)

Thanks for the info’ Dave,

Returned to test further, and no voltage from board to drain pump.

Regards,

There were no signs of burning on the board… customer installing another w/m.

A bit late now but I have had a two of this type of machine that if overloaded the front weight hits and breaks the wires that go down to the pump. They break just below the door interlock and on both occasions I had to repair the wiring and also replace the board.
