    A customer rang me this morning about one of these. She said it overheated that the room was like a sauna. Anyone come across this problem before? The temp can be controlled at the fascia, possibly faulty? Only thing is though it eventually tripped the power as the element must have got too hot so i’m guessing it went over the 90 degrees and went to boiling so probably not the temp control?

    Haven’t seen the machine yet and first time i have seen this happen with this model.

    Well this what greeted me when i took the lid of today. She had switched the washing machine on before going to bed and when she got up this morning the trip switch was down. They were lucky and have 5 young kids. As you can see the module went on fire, what could have caused this? Shorted motor, bad connection?

    From the photo’s it appears to have originated in the area of the two relays and the main two pin power plug. I would conclude that the module put itself into self-destruct mode rather than an external component failure?
