so after concluding the motor was ok –

i popped the motor back on – put it all back together –

took the pump off again, opened it, cleaned it again, did it up good and tight,

gave it a test whirl and is currently draining from a 40degree cycle test.

everything seems to be dandy now.

the connector to the motor did give a little when i went to remove it so potentially the motor wasnt properly connected? possibly explains violent kick when it turned on yesterday because of arching or something?

so motors off – what am i looking for? everything looks as photos online indicate – no burn or oxidised metal anywhere.

no it doesnt get that far.

plug in – dial to a cycle – door locks – 1200rpm indicator lights up – dial clicks

then it stalls and the cold wash indicator flashes 5 times repeatedly.

they will fail continuity test as they are capacitors and the black is prob just dirt attracted by the 400 volt dc charge. the other component is a diode. since these components are part of the board power supply the board would be completely dead if they had failed

evening dave –

the board doesnt seem to be dead – the machine does operate to a point before it holds and the cold wash indicator blinks.
