    Do nothing without pulling the plug first. :plug:

    So it is!
    I have had a look with power off, am I right in thinking the air chamber is the funnel shaped rubber hose connected to the underside of the drum… it feels like it has a ball inside it! Can I just disconnect it and check for blockages?
    What would I look at with the level switch (and where is it!!)… happy to look at things as I am an engineer although this is not my field.

    Thanks for the reply. I had a quick look inside with the power isolated, all the connections look fine, nothing obviously wrong and no blockages.

    I since noticed that changing the temp control from * (auto) to max made the machine fill and rotate the drum a few times, it seemed to fill for a few seconds and then rotate, fill and rotate, then the error returned.

    To clarify it is ten LED flashes, not one as I thought previously.

    Sorry to hijack this thread.. but this sounds like the problem I am having.

    Ariston Margherita A1535 Advantage, 18 months old. When started, it draws water for about 5 seconds with the LED lit, then the LED goes out and the flow stops. It then pumps the water out. Following this the dial clicks round continuously and the LED steadily flashes once on, once off.

    I have checked the filter and removed some coins, also checked the pipes out to the spigot.

    Any advice appreciated!!
