Hi Dave,

Thanks for that!

I did already find the motor speed sensor and wiring. I cleaned all the connectors and gave the wiring a quick inspection (no obvious damage).

I measured across the outputs of the speed sensor and got 41 ohms. When I spun the motor by hand this jumped about but no idea if the values are correct or valid.

I guess I could try and take that same measurement at the board end and if I’m still getting 41 ohms the board is fired right?

Hey Dave,

Yea, at the beginning of a program the drum starts to fill with water then spins for about 1 or 2 seconds before shutting off. Then it waits about 1 minute and tries again. This happens at least 4 times before the machine gives an E08 error.

Cheers

Unfortunately the same issue after unplugging the heater. I think it’s chalked but 9 years with it with the last 2 in the garden… It’s done alright lol

Oh wow. Thanks guys. I didn’t know the heater could cause an E08.

I replaced it a couple of years ago but it’s a hard water area so I’ll give this a go.

From memory I think the heater has at least 5 wires on it. 2 for power, 2 for a heat sensor and one for an earth… I’ll double check this though.

Should I remove everything or just the power cables? If I was gonna take measurements across the pins where would I take them and what readings should I expect?

Cheers

the pipe seems ok, i’ve viewed it from the top and bottom and can’t see any damage on it. Was also able to blow through it when i removed the pressure switch. It seemed slightly restricted but I assume that’s normal as the tube isn’t too big so i guess the plastic hole in the drum is even smaller!

I’ve read about blocked pressure chambers but the chamber and connecting pipe seemed to be integral to the drum (as far as i could tell)… So no idea if it can be accessed and cleaned more thoroughly or whether the pipe cleaner I stuck in the hole would be enough to dislodge anything there…

Think i’ll look up the cost of the solenoid and switch and try replacing which ever is the cheaper part!

[danielz000]

Oh cheers Dave! Is Pressostat the pressure switch? I guess if so then I know it has the potential to be a problem…

Any guess I just got to figure out whether it’s a solenoid, switch or blockage problem now!
