Re: Non-standard fault code for Amica AWCM10L.
Update:
For anyone who has a similar problem; it turns out that the water landing on the motor, although not enough to cause a short, was enough to rust the copper contacts of he motor brush housing. This build up of copper rust stopped the brush extending out when the it wore down.
Simply taking the brush holder off and cleaning off the copper rust off the contact was enough to allow the brushes to slide out correctly and maintain contact with the motor.

Right, upon closer inspection, the overflow pipe from the powder drawer had come loose and was allowing a small amount of water kept landing on one side of the motor. This appears to have worn down one brush more than the other. So although the motor turns its not turning quick enough.
Although there could still be a problem with the tachometer itself, I’m going with the most obvious solution first.
