The machine is now sorted. Well nearly......

I got a local technician to come out and have a look at the thing.

After a lot of probing, we found an earth leakage on the heating element which caused the PCB to blacken.

If you remember earlier, it had new paddles fitted a while ago. When the paddle broke, it took a tea shirt into the drum and we think it caused some damage which only just came to light.

The tea shirt hit the element, broke off the element retainer and caused an earth leakage. So the element is on order as is the retainer and a new drum seal.

The PCB 'may' be okay as Mark says. Crossed fingers.

So Friday, I will be removing and splitting the drum.

WHAT JOY

Thanks for all of your help guys.
