I have had occasional problems with the machine not working and needing a small tilt to get going but now it won’t start. The display comes up with “Not started” on the front display when the power button is depressed and when it is released the main menu briefly flashes up on the top display. I suspected the switch and took it out and tested it but it is fine. All other connectors are secure.
My other guesses are the lock which I seems to test OK, the control-module or something not right with an anti-flood device.
Thanks Penguin. I don’t think the metal loop is at fault as “Not started” comes up as soon as the power button is depressed with the door open. To me it appears that the machine thinks that a programme has been selected even though I don’t get the chance and is waiting for the door to close.
I have tried pushing the latch to the closed position with the door open and it makes no difference.
