I’m happy to report that D7 was the culprit. I’ve replaced it today and my washer/dryer is now working again.

A big thanks to all of the people who came up with the fix and all who have contributed to this post. My model (WDX8543130W) was not in the title of the post and was found several posts further down.

I can’t beleive that a little time and a £0.20 part fixed the issue so quickly.

Thanks Dave, i’ve just ordered the diode and will post if it works.

I used the resistance setting and diode option on the multimeter… when testing the other diodes I get a reading only when the probes are connected one way… if I reverse them on the other diodes I get open circuit which I beleive is what I should get. When testing D7 no matter which way I connect the probes I get a 0.0000 reading not an OL (open circuit) reading on the meter.
If I set the meter to resistance buzzer for continuity testing then I get continuty and a buzz when the probes are connected to either side of D7.
