I've never worked on one of these machines but i can tell you whenever there's a power outage and then when the power comes back on the surge can take out the electronics so if you had almost double the power going into that machine i'd have to say it's fried and most likely burnt out the computer board or more.if you want to talk to someone else write back but send the full model number off of the washer and maybe someone who knows this machine can help you but the only way to tell is by checking it out with a meter and see what got damaged from the power surge but double the voltage,that's not gonna be good,hopefully there's a fuse or something in there that could be popped but check it with a meter to see.

SOURCE: Defy - 13KG Laundromaid 1300

Here's a solution I've gotten from one of the experts..

"Clean the drain motor lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters. The motor is unable to drain all of the water in the allotted time.
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is normally behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!) and held in by a round cover/knob.

REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT!

It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. If it doesn't work then the motor is malfunctioning!"

Hope this helps.. Good luck! :)

I have a Defy electrologic laundromaid 1300 washing machine that the cold water runs in even when the machine is switched off.

Your solenoid operated valve is stuck open on the cold side. To find this valve, follow the cold water inlet hose and it will lead you directly to it.

My defy laundromaid electrologic 1300 suddenly stops spinning and gives a ue error

I had the same problem: E9 error when switching the machine on. This indicates something is wrong with the pressure switch. (or connection to the pressure switch). When you open the top cover at the back of the machine it will be in the right hand corner (when looking from the back of the machine). This is a round device with a clear tube coming in at its bottom and a three wire connecting plug at its side. When unplugging I found one of the pins corroded (green tarnish). After cleaning it off with some steel wool the problem became intermittent - indicating the connection is not too sound. Just bending the pin slightly did the trick causing it to soundly make contact inside the plug. Problem solved!!
