OKO-lavamat 61300

[Delgado]

This washing machine has a dial that sticks half way between “Quick wash and Rinse.
Is this likely to be something I can fix? (ex RAF Aero-engine fitter).
Thanks in advance,
Delgado

this sounds like an older machine that makes things simple. when it stick you have to think what it might be trying to do that it cant

i would look to see if the heater has failed first

Or, the black rubber sump hose pipe that runs to the air pressure chamber is blocked with the dreaded ‘gunge’. 😕

Reference the OKO-Lavamat dial sticking.
The problem was a crack in the solder circuit on the small circuit board attached to the water inlet solenoids. Wriggling the elect. plugs set the machine going.
Soldered a strip of elect. wire across the gap (allowing for movement) and the machine has now worked fine for several washes.
Thanks to all who helped.
