Siemens WTXL720CGB/01 won’t start

Switch on and close the door and all you get is the pump humming for around 30 seconds then it switches off. Stripped it, heater cut out was tripped, capacitor tests ok but nothing other than the hum of the pump then dead??? Any ideas??

you say it switches off ?

long shot check what sort of power supply they use on the board. if its a series capacitor then when motor relays kick in the board power supply might fail causing board to crash

also i would measure voltages on board motor relays to see if the board is trying to turn then on. Relays on board fail quite a lot and it not unusual to put 8 volts or so on a 12v relay. when its new it works but as with any mechanical device it wears and fails with age

hope it helps more than my previous entry
