Machine stopped 1/2 empty mid way thru drain from wash cycle. Removed kick panel, drained machine and removed (wife's)?X#*? bra wire from pump which was jammed. Repowered, light on but no action. Tried different points on timer, off at power again etc. Wonder if there is a reset trick that needs activating?
Power shd be on. Right side of control panel, "end of cycle", hold this down for 3 seconds.

No joy, machine has large rotary dial RHS of machine that you rotate to required setting and then push in to start. Middle of front has three push buttons - power on/off, cold wash & economy buttons that can also be selected . Power on/off switch illuminates light but nothing else.
Machine made in Italy, maybe a rebadged Indesit? Around 8 years old, but came from mother in law and had limited use,
has been reliable till now.
Hey there, follow up on power problem with Whirlpool front loader.
Bypassed door interlock switch and presto away we go!
Removed switch and drilled out rivets to find contacts melted, copper discoloured and ceramic insulation cracked! Thinking pump when jammed was drawing high amps via switch which led to meltdown. Ordered new switch today so hope all will be well.
Thanks for your help anyway!
