    Thanks all
    Could you please advise how to access the heater and test it, do I remove the bottom plate.Is it a simple test for continuity?

    Does the heater come on before the pump empties the cold rinse water?

    Ok, I’ve started a cycle.
    The machine completed the first phase, the cold rinse, and then blew and didn’t empty any water.
    When the pump started?

    It didn’t only trip but stopped with a loud report.
    Will it not cause further damage if I repeat it?

    I restored mains and the machine comes on without tripping.
    I switched on and the machine fills but I’ve switched it off before it “blew” again!
    I think it had started to rinse when it tripped the first time.
    Time to call a pro!
    Thanks again
