Candy CM2 106-1 Problem

[nic72]

Hi,
I have a 2 pronged problem, a washing machine that’s stopped working and girlfriend without a washing machine. Any help with the first, will solve the second!
Seriously though, I have a problem with our Candy washing machine. The model is CM2 106-1 S/N-31000921, this is an Italian model because I’m currently in Greece. The problem is the door secure light. It’s constantly flashing and we can’t run any progam. I’ve tried to contact Candy who are really not in the least bit interested. I’ve searched and searched and have narrowed it down to either the lock mechanism, the PBC or the motor brushes. I’ve had it apart, checked the wiring, they seem ok, I’ve taken the lock mechanism off (but still kept it wired up), there is a click from that when I try run a program, but then nothing. I’ve not checked the brushes yet as I was hoping for some advice from Candy on what they thought the problem could be, but like I said, they could only suggest an engineers visit. The machine is out of warranty, so not going down that route.
All I want is some advice on what part is likely to have failed so I can order a new part, fit it and get back to normality. I don’t have a problem stipping it down or anything, don’t have a problem buying any parts, just need to know which way to go.
Any offers of help and advice woud be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Nic.
