    That’s gotta be what it is.The sound really resembles gears jumping off a pinion or something like that.

    So, I’m guessing that if I remove the machine and turn it on its side, I can get to the diverter valve?

    Is it 240v so I can shove some power through it to see what happens while it’s off the machine?

    I took those screws out because I thought it might be coming from around that area. I removed the plastic bits and underneath there’s a plastic disc with a hole and a large o-ring. I tried turning the shaft, but it’s absolutely solid, which made me think something’s jammed.

    Any other suggestions?

    What does the diverter valve do (apart from divert)! 😀

    Good stuff. Thanks Dave. I’m going to take it out and see if I can see where it’s coming from. I know the rough area.

    Someone like you would probably nail it straight away when you heard the noise!

    absolutely not a bar knocking as I removed both trays and bars etc and the ticking is coming from right underneath the machine

    Probably once every second, or maybe quicker. It’s pretty rhythmic, and sounds like a motor is spinning, but whatever it’s supposed to turning has jammed.

    Nope. It doesn’t. I already tried that.
