Thanks for the replies, iadom.

A new pump is £130 plus postage. The machine is 12 years old. It caught fire in 2015 and was repaired by the manufacturer. Apart from that I only replaced the tablet dispenser and bought 3 replacement cutlery baskets over it’s lifetime.

Time to move on

Cheers

The on/off light and the start/pause lights flash together very quickly. No other lights were on
Water is taken in, heated and sits in the bottom of the machine until it’s pumped out again eventually, but no water is sprayed and the machine is pretty much quiet between filling and emptying

From further research online it looks like it might be a dead recirculation pump

Hi Dave – thanks very much for your advice

I put the back cover on again and am running the dryer from another socket via an extension. So far so good. I am still puzzled by a few things though:

1) The washing machine and tumble dryer have both been running fine from the double socket, both separately and together, for years without issue

2) The washing machine is still working fine from this socket

3) When the tumble dryer went dead/lights out, I could return later and start it again without doing anything ie no blown fuses in the plug, no tripping in the fuse box and the washing machine unaffected

Very grateful for your help, the washing has been piling up with this weather

I may be back

Cheers

Mark
