    Model details: CODE: 1123 547 15000; Serial No: 0603012061. approx 3-5 years old. I have checked the over-heat button at the rear which does not require resetting. I have replaced the start button with no success, internet research suggests the problem could be the relay. I understand there could be two separate relays, one for temperature, one for the motor. The PCB relay board near the top of the machine has a relay in a clear plastic housing, which is open with no power, and closes when the start button is held in. There are 2 resisters (?) labelled R1 & R2 which appear to be discolored (brown) due to heat along with the board directly below them. The resistors indicate 0.16 when tested with a multi-meter set at 2M. How can I effectively test the Relay Board prior to ordering another (potentially unnecessary) part? and/or is there a more likely explanation of the fault?
    Thank you
