I would suggest that its a neon indicator light fault, its nothing as serious as the timer. Perhaps the neon got damp or wet from water dripping on the above surface which is possible but not fully as its only a few watts and this blowing would not of caused a great deal of burning to the plastic well I dont think anyway. I think that its a possible effect from a power surge and you were just unlucky that the machine caught the brunt perhaps. In the past week in Crewe several power surges have written off my computer monitor, 2 fridge freezers and blew the lighting circuit. Just to check it is not the Timer (i doubt it due to the burn marks on the plastic) look behind the metal plate that holds the fascia on and see if there are any scorch marks on that, if there are any on the timer side then it could be, however the fact the marks are on the plastic and in areas that would of been shielded by the metal Its not likely. I suggest you plug the machine in with a circuit breaker and try to run a rinse cycle and see how it does. My guess is the machine will just work as normal minus the neon light. This is easily replaced - I think I have one somewhere I can send to you if I find it. Let us know how you go??? Rob and Paul |
