whirlpool adg3440 clear one fault and along comes another

[nemo]

hi guys, got an adg3440 on which the start button was flashing 4 times indicating that it was not draining when it obviously was, so i took of the pressure switch, dismantled it and gave it a clean out (didn’t appear to be too bad and microswitch was working). so i re-assembled and re-fitted it and started prog. now as soon as it is filled up, start light flashes 6 times (flow sensor i think, if fault codes are the same as posted on here). anyway took the side chamber off and the flow switch impeller is turning fine. question is how do i test this flow switch and is it an integral part of the side chamber? also any ideas why would this fault would appear as soon as i had just cleaned and refitted pressure switch? thanks in advance. nemo .

Poor/broken connections on the flow meter plug I’ve had a few times 😉

thanks dave for your input,
on closer inspection the flow sensor on this machine is just a reed switch which is removable (the turbine and magnet are encased in the side chamber). took the switch out, tested it with a magnet, worked fine. tested leads to pcb, also fine. re-assembled and put on wash and machine now works. must have been a dodgy contact as you suggested, but what threw me was the fact that this fault immediately followed the first!?
cheers nemo
