Thanks timdowning, checked heater element with meter,not getting any continuity or ohm reading,can i now take it that the element is gone? will i need to split the drum to replace it? i’ve replaced bearings on several machines before so its not a problem.

thanks again specialist, have done as you said,pressure switch and pipe clean,also the vessel. tested the pressure switch by blowing into inlet gently,seems ok,heard the click. still trying to get to the bottom of this problem.!!!

Thanks kwatt and applianceman,motor brushes look ok,about 30mm of carbon left on both. have checked the water valve with ohm-meter(its a cold fill only)reads about 6 ohms on both solenoids,how exactly do i check for continuity.By the way if i just try to do a spin only,still have no success,red service light still comes on. Thanks again.
