Pushed it back under worktop (minus top/sides/other bits), but something collapsed at the back (guessing the sides give it rigidity).

Job for next week now.

Having proved what it isn't, assuming only one fault, I reckon it narrows it down to wiring or controller.

That said, the join between the top and bottom halves of the main area is furry, so guessing thats weeping a little as well.  Probably best to just buy a new one, and get upset with call centres about delivery :(

Well I hate it when that happens.

It all works. I've down nothing, except not use it for a week, and put it back together (as going around with a meter didn't help).


I just know its gonna bite me...

Sounds like a spurious leak which gets water onto contacts sometimes and not others.  How are all the seals?

No signs of leaks, maybe a tiny weep from the join in the 2 halves of the main container.  Its new enough to have a tray to catch any leaks, which is bone dry

Amazing, ours packed up a week ago (it was only 23 years old as well) they just don't make them to last anymore :(

Probably something simple, but decided to invest in a new one.

Washing up is a woman's job. Always has been.....always will be.

this model does suffer from burnt wires on the heater box, also the mains filter is a plastic case mains filter that also is a common problem. on this machine you can get liner seals splitting but its not common, main issue with that it fills the steel base plate where the wash pump sits and shorts that out,
sorry tb only just seen your post or would have said earlier.
pm me if need on what you have looked at i used to work on this model.

Part of the problem is I've had a holiday between it not working well, and now.  And drank far too much Keo ::).  So its a bit vague in my mind what was unplugged when I still got it popping the RCD.

Do you happen to have a service manual?

'dangle berries', 'dangle berries' and double 'dangle berries'.

Sorry to disturb the dust on this one, but guess what.  2 rather weeks before crimbo. More chance of pulling my foreskin up over my head to keep my ears warm than getting a replacement delivered.

'dangle berries'.
