Very useful drill to go through, all the same.

Thanks for ruling everything else out for me. I’ll take the plunge and let you know how I get on.
Regards.

Carbon brushes making contact both sides and securely housed. Interesting contortions required in our wee galley kitchen, though!

[Aortic Mark]

Thanks. I’ll have a go over the weekend. If they seem OK, are we at the stage of choosing between replacing the main control module or the machine?

[Aortic Mark]

Are the brushes accessible with the motor left in situ?

[Aortic Mark]

Unplugging, then replugging plus cancel button makes no difference.
How does the motor contacts affect the programme function?

Whilst I get round to tracing the wires, this is what I see when I turn it on. The yellow arrowhead flashes “ready” on all of the settings, it just was not captured in the second photo; pressing “start” has no effect. As you turn the selector, absolutely nothing happens (arrowhead is blinking) until you reach Mixed Fabrics, when those numbers appear.

[Aortic Mark]

Will do, but it might take me a couple of days to get round to it. Thanks for this advice.
Mark.

Hi Dave,
Just checked the machine and, unfortunately, the child lock was not on, but it can still be activated and deactivated on any of the programme selections.
Regards.
Mark.

Hi Dave,
That would explain everything and was not a function I was aware of; the machine did not come with the manual and I neglected to download it. I will check that as soon as I get home.
Thanks.
Mark.

Hi Dave,
Down to one programme, and almost certainly the last one used – mixed fabrics, 40°C, 1000 spin; could even be the ONLY programme ever used in our household!
Regards.
Mark.
