    Got as far as i can on this without tech info 😕
    Machine fills,drum rotates at highish speed, pauses while remainder of filling takes place then one more high speed rotation…then program cancels itself and resets!
    I have checked and repaired wiring harness rubbing on front counterweight and at all points where wiring has rubbed against drum /cable ties, motor checks out ok…..

    HELP!

    Possible tacho problem on the motor. Check to see if it is open circuit. If not, then looks like a board fault.

    Thanks Tony, i’m getting a healthy reading from the tacho so possible board fault..but which one! i think i can safely eliminate the display pcb which leaves two more, one at the top and a covered one at the bottom right of the cabinet.

    Ray,
    Find the one with the triacs on it (little black rectangles with 3 legs) – that’ll be the one.

    have a look at the tacho magnet they are only pushed onto a spline on the shaft and work loose. M
