Ok thanks very much I’ll look when I get home and send them to you, but I don’t recall there being a letter “A”, clearly I need a new connector block then or loom….

Thanks for your further help. I’ve looked all over the machine and there is no plate or serial number anywhere its weird. On the back there are a couple of paper strips that have a barcode and some numbers that’s all. Is it worth sharing these with you please? Assuming I’m lucky and the control module that’s coming to me on Friday is good for the machine, what can I do about the charred plug please? I’m no expert but I wondered if the sooty deposits might increase the resistance in the supply to the replacement board and short it out again not sure….Thanks again.

Thanks I’ve now got the control module out of the machine and noticed that around one of the connector blocks there is some charring the sockets in the block itself look a bit blackened too., but the whole circuit board is otherwise undamaged. I’ve managed to source another control module from the same 1600 washer dryer to put in as a complete unit. However I’m concerned that using the slightly burnt connector block might damage the replacement module the connector block hasn’t melted it just looks sooty where the pin sockets are. What would you recommend please? I can’t seem to find a new wiring loom or a replacement connector block. I am taking the precaution of only working on the machine whilst its unplugged.

Thanks is there a risk of electric shock from the motor then even if its turned off?

Thanks for your message. The only model or serial number is on the front panel and reads ‘A1600WD’ It also has the Ariston name and logo on the front. I bought it in Currys a while ago and believed it was a genuine Ariston though maybe i was wrong. Although I have replaced the mains filter, the one I’ve fitted was supplied to me as a secondhand part, so to be honest I cannot be sure it is serviceable, I’ve got a multimeter but not sure how to check whether the mains filter is working or not. I would be really grateful for your further help with this thanks again.
