    Hi guys,

    I have gathered some valuable information when reading through this forum and I thank you all for your experience and time.

    I now have a problem with my own washing machine.

    As soon as I shut the washing machine door, the MCB trips. I have removed the interlock switch (3 pin) and took it apart and everything looks fine, not signs of anything fused or burnt out. The solenoid has full continuity, but not sure how ti check the pins.

    If I disconnect the 7 pin multi plug from the motor and then shut the washer door, the washer powers up and the pcb display lights up as normal.

    I have checked all the motor wiring (brushes, windings, heat sensor) and all have full continuity. So I am thinking, could this still be the interlock switch or possibly the Main Circuit Board ❓ ❓
