There are over 30 dealers in the South East, at least one in Newbury/Reading area. Have you had a look on the list?

just a suggestion…If you’re letting property with appliances, you “should” ensure that you either have backups ,OR a reliable repairer.
you say you don’t have time, yet you’re willing to throw £200 to £300 at the problem.

get your ISE, ask the supplier/installer to check/quote to repair the old machine , then keep it “in stock” as a replacement if such an “urgent” breakdown reoccurs…..same applies with fridges/dishwashers/vacuum cleaners/cookers……one of the drawbacks of fully furnished letting….or you can continue chucking slabs of money at your problems…..in which case, landlording is likely to prove unprofitable.

Jim has pointed you in the right direction……personally, I think the motor-brushes are just at the point where the conductor-braid is stretching….but you’re talking another tenner there,plus about 1/2 hour…….I’d guess that AND a new pressure switch would leave change out of £100,calling someone in to do it.

with you saying the machine seems to spin for about 30 seconds and slow down i would suggest that it is jumping into spin as in a tacho fault this is commonly caused by a loose motor block or faulty wiring between the timer and motor and in most cases can be easily rectified for a labour charge from an engineer or just lid off nose about and re wire
