problem with proline pdw080

[grant]

i have a proline pdw080 and it seems to get stuck on the cycle. It appears to be pumping away even tough the machine is empty. I think it may be whatever cuts out the pump when it has emptied the machine and moves on to the next part of the cycle. I presume there is some kind of ballcock in the machine that does this. I left it alone for 2 weeks because of work commitments and last night tried it and it just worked but only once. The next time i tried it it has gone back to the problem.

anybody any ideas what i can do? or is it just dead?

Thanks in advance

Hi

Posibily the flood protection has brought the drain pump on.
Pull machine out tilt backwards at 45deg to see if water runs out of base, if it runs out then you have a leak on the system somewhere.

SWITCH OFF AND PULL PLUG OUT FIRST

thanks

Re: problem with proline pdw080

i have taken the lid off the machine and where the pipe goes into the top of the washing tank it appears to have sheared off where it connects to the plastic nut inside the machine i have temporarily fixed it on and the machine so far seems to work. However the arm on the upper rack which is supposed to turn when water goes through it seems to not turn anymore is this through lack of water pressure?

Thanks in Advance
