WDI12C Machine Will Not Drain - Error Code E06

Hi All,

My Smeg WDI12C is about 15 months old and will not drain waste water and end of cycle:

- machine displays error code E06 aftre draining phase and before spin
- water is not drained

My first analysis I found:

- the waste tubes are not blocked
- the drain pump filter is free of blockage
- waste water reaches the end of the external waste pipe

I removed the pump it works when tested with 240v applied directly so that is not the problem.

I have removed and checked pressure switch and diaphram is ok and I can blow through small tube and hear air in drum.

Does this sound like a control issue? A similar post on here (for error code E05) said that they rest the unit with guidence from Smeg over the phone (but my warrenty has run out).

Any ideas?

Thanks for any help in advance.

Chris
