doing nothing? no lights? then start at the on off swtich.
if nothing obvious, check the brushes first can account for a dead machine on these.

thanks mark for your reply . is this a intergrated appliance the lady said it was flashing a light when i ask her which she said she could not rember. then she put it on a rinse program after finshing the main wash . and it was doing nothing i ask her was their water in the machine .

she did not seem sure i dont think their was because she could open the door to get the model number . if their was a blockage in the pump would their be a fault code . if machine was complety dead could it be the door switch. are the just a interlock. thanks fasetester.

Re: SMEG WASHING DRYER NOT WORKING MODEL NUMBER WDI12

its the obvious screws around the dispenser but there is also a hidden one screwed in form behind, it can be reached either with the top of, (if the machine is out) or by feel through the door seal, think you need it out to change the switch anyway. Knobs pull off but in this case can be left on. part number 816450249 £7.40 retail from servevast

Re: SMEG WASHING DRYER NOT WORKING MODEL NUMBER WDI12

well guys i went and replaced the on/off switch put all togeather switched on machine starts to fill then in about 30sec nothing. 13amp fuse gone and 30amp in consumer blowen as well.

machine sitting half full of water remove hose and empy water. still door wont open have to work at interlock to get the door open. disconnect wiring take note of where each wire is connected.

check interlock from first terminal on right close lock with screwdriver should i not get a close citcuit across the switch to last terminal on the left.

this is the wiring on interlock twin red from first terminal on the right this one does not seem right the next terminal over to the left which is the N on the switch to the heater is a twin brown and the last one on the left where the switch closes is a pink wire i dont know if anyone was at the machine before me.

when i connected the hose up for the water it sprayed all over the place the lady said some one brother or husband said the hose was kinked so i put on a new hose . any thoughts or help welcome thanks fasetester.

Re: SMEG WASHING DRYER NOT WORKING MODEL NUMBER WDI12

You should have:
2 reds to L (one of these goes to the microswitch on top of the interlock).
1 pink to N.
2 Browns to C (one of these goes to the other terminal of the microswitch).

need to get your megger out!

see here for wiring diagram.

Re: SMEG WASHING DRYER NOT WORKING MODEL NUMBER WDI12

thanks mark for your reply. when you check the interlock on resistance scale on meter should you not get a closed circuit between the first terminal on the right and the common. when you close the interlock with a screwdriver and between common and N fasetester.
