Re: Candy dq130 Washing Machine

Guys,

Thanks for the help, and I am thankful to say that I have solved the problem.

I checked the pipes for blockage, nothing. When running the long spin again, nothing, but the slow spin still worked.

I asked my wife again, nothing else that you’ve set that is different is there? No, she said…

However, I noticed that the “Quick Iron” and “Quick Wash” buttons on the front of the machine were both pushed in. I turned the dial to long spin, turned these buttons, and hey presto off the little blighter went!

We ran a full cycle on it after that, and sure enough the long spin worked also.

I can only assume my little 2 year old was playing with buttons!

Thanks for all your help, hopefully this lesson may help others in the future!

James.

Iadon / Dave,

I really appreciate all of your advice. Will have a look again to see if any blockage is there – I am curious though as to how the machine knows that there is a blockage though.

When I say the full spin doesn’t work, I mean it doesn’t even click to try a full spin, it just does, well absolutely nothing!

I’ll have another look, and if needs be, contact you again regarding the part!

Thanks again,

James.

iadom,

Thanks for your reply.

I don’t think it’s a blockage, as if we use the short spin, it works fine. I.e. Do a full cycle, the long spin doesn’t trigger, so we do 3 short spins which work just enough to get the load done.

I’m pretty sure it’s the controller, or else I wouldn’t have expected the short spin to work.

Do you know where I can get one from? I’ve been looking on various “spares” websites, and I get pretty much anything for the machine, but not the controller!

Thanks,

James.
