Was giving two flashes. Now behaves as per thread title, water entering in 1-2 second bursts until overfill. (Did not wait for it to actually overfill but it was getting pretty high.) Removed reed sw and checked connectors, re-tried without success. Checked reed sw with magnet and test lamp – seems OK, but will try changing it anyway. No further fault codes. Any other possibles? Going back after bank holiday.

had a similar thing with water coming in quick bursts was the capacitor in the timer providing power to the pcb
hope it helps

Might get time to go back there tomorrow. Thanks for the tip. Will update when done.

Well, with a load more help from Dave and taking his excellent advice to re-read the “Simple pcb repairs” sticky, this one is finally going again :tup: .
As I re-installed it, I noticed it had one of those cr@p Askoll motors though. When I closed the door after opening it to check it was heating OK, the motor gave that death rattle so I advised the customer that he might be needing my help again very shortly. 🙁 for him, and :haier: for me as it’s a narrow kitchen but, oh well I guess the money will compensate me 😀 .
