what penguin says is correct

its controlled by the main control board, and it aint cheap

you should never live test , either on or off the machine, but to clarify, running the pump on the machine, and running it off are 2 different things

just take some good advice and change the pump

[helo_75]

exactly… just do it properly and all will be fine

[helo_75]

if the motors not duff, then its the pcb then

[helo_75]

its more than likely a duff compressor

£140 – £160 Wouldnt be unreasonable given the wrork involved

except of course, the cost of the replacement

[helo_75]

08709 066 066

is the direct number

theyll repair the machine.. all parts included as p45 says for £99.85, and guarantee it for 3 months

theyll hassle you to death to pay upfront with your card, then take and extended warranty

poor attempt from a multi national company.. in effect youll be buying your machine twice… cant lose can they?

[helo_75]

well, thats the answer then, the only real cure for that is a new drum if thats the case

but you can try packing the drum out with a couple of washers on the shaft

[helo_75]

youll need to take the condenser and heate rbox as well, since its a wd12

[helo_75]

yep, about the right age

has is been noisy for some time?

[helo_75]

how old is it?
earllier models were prone to the drum rubbing through the back plate and cutting through the heater wires

if you look just above the motor, where the drum meets the back panel, youll be able to see if its cut through.. the wires run quite close to that point

however you look at it, itll be a heater fault

[helo_75]

put plenty of grease on AND spray with wd40?

i reckon that will last another month
they need changing, althought the new ones do require gresasing

[helo_75]

yup, its an 8uf capacitor, situated next to the motor
side panel off

its usually that

[helo_75]

that would only stop it heating

if youve changed the relay, then after checking the door switch wiring, it has to be a timer fault

[helo_75]

only if u like wasting time 😉

[helo_75]

if the door locks and nothing else happens, its always a good idea to inspect the brushes

[helo_75]

and he could tell the difference between a pressure vessel and a breather hose

for reference im an engineer, 21 years in the job

i asked, because your giving out what is in essence useless information

potentially dangerous too

please, will everyone remember to remove the plug at all times when investigating
