Valves should give you 64ohms and the pump 33ohms.

i”ve found the problem. It wasn’t the valve itself but it was in the valve circuit. I think when the lid was opened it caused a voltage spike which blew apart a resistor on the control board. There was a small resistor near the hot and cold water leads that was an open ciruit when I put the multimeter over it. (power was disconnected).

Replacing the resistor with a similar value and it all seems to be going again.

Suspect the fault in the electronics was causing the odd pump behaviour.

Thanks for you assistance Penguin45. Always a lot easier when you know what the values should be. Your contributions here are excellent.

Thanks,

I’ll have a look at the pump.
