i need to know which lights are lit up

blocked ,jammed or fulty drain pump

under the top of the machine on the right there is a reed switch which is actic=vated by a magnet in the lid remove the two bungs and screws so you can lift the top up a bit and you will see it there one screw to remove it if its corroded or swollen its faulty either repace it or as a easy fix cut both wires off it and join them together and tape up, this should do it

if it keeps filling until it floods the it has afaulty transducing which is locatedin the mainboard which will have to be replace

if you didnt run the pump on the bench dont be fooled by any readings it canstill be stuffed

check out the drain pump as it is linked directly to the main board any burning smell or discolouration of the copper windings replace it

its easy if you know how hahahah the pump either has something jammed in it or its faulty

main computer board is faulty

not alot u can do but replace the board

burning smells are most common from the drain pump remove and sniff it if it smells like its been getting too hot replace it

repace the thermostat

ok if when you push pause the water stops its not your solenoid but the transducer which is built into your main computer board which you will need to replace

this usually means warm wash is selected but only cold tap is on try turning hot tap on even for a cold wash

check for blocked or jammed pump if all good replace pump

pump block error remove pump check foranything blocking or jamming it it that fails replace pump

manual say display unit so try thst first,most repairs have plenty of second hand ones lying around

replace the pump most likely has burnt copper windings

first thing to look at is the sensor either faulty or corroded connection block if good or a new one doesnt fix it then most likely the main computerboard fault

no not thst i know of but its always been a problem with them over tha last 20 years

its really important the R.P.S you replaced is correctly fitted so double check it,also the connecting block if corroded in anyway will cause the faulty its easy to see the bluey color of corrosion, i have struck faulty new sensors beforebut not all thst common if you are really sure all that is 100% then it can only be the wiring loom
