With the programme turned to a nominal 40C wash cycle tried the child lock/unlock 10sec process resulting in steady ‘start’ and ‘wash’ indicators illuminated. Without touching anything these lights changed to flashing ‘wash’ and ‘rinse’ after about 60 sec? I’ve just left it like that, do you have any other suggestions?
I can try the door to see if it’s locked….
No child lock on this machine that I can see.
Your reset suggestion has had some effect, I’ve followed the procedure a couple of times and now got the ‘start’ button indicator and the wash indicator flashing together even when the programme is positioned to off.
I’ve spun the drum by hand a couple of times just in case there might be a motor brush wear issue but when the machine was working ‘normally’ there was no hint that there was a motor problem (which from my limited experience one get’s when the brush wires begin to contact commutator)
..and the interlock (still) doesn’t appear to be working
Thanks for the quick reply. I’d try the reset you suggested but as I explained there isn’t a spin speed button on this machine version – just 3 buttons L to R, ‘start’, ‘rinse plus’ and ‘express wash’ buttons
