Spotless...
It looks brand new!
Do both your boyfriend and your machines behave in exactly the same way and at the same stage of the cycle everytime? Might it just be programmed to carry out that phase as such... how long does it do that for? Which rinse is affected by this... is it the 1st rinse or right after a spin sequence? It sounds like a time out device or a thermo protection that cuts off the power to the motor and it resumes working when the machine has been left switched off for a while. I'm sure you'll find out what it is sooner or later ;-) | ||

@Haxisfan We only have the one machine. It has happened twice, in different places on the rinse cycle. Most cycles it has completed flawlessly. I did think about a thermal cut out on the motor, it has only happened on a 60c and a 95c cycle, never on 40c. Thanks Matt | ||

Hot bits
Hello Matt
Pauls experiences of the thermal cut out playing up certainly makes sense, but can i add my two penneth worth. It could be a heat related problem on the control board up by(if my memory serves me right) the programmer, there is Triac up there mounted on a heatsink, this might just be starting to get a dry joint on its soldering. It is always worth checking any soldered components that run hot for dry joints, these are very common on modern equipment due to manufacturers using components that are only just up to the job so they tend to run hot Anyway good luck with getting it sorted well worth the effort it will be Gary | ||

I'll second that!
Siphoning it is! If you're wondering why this happens only during that particular cycle the possible explanation is that perhaps that very cycle goes through some sequences that make this scenario possible... perhaps the Acrylics programme loads more water than the other wash cycles and the draining stage lasts longer... well... something like that!
I had a similar experience years ago... on the Acrylics cycle also... my machine is plumped in and it shares the same drain with the sink. During the acrylics cycle some of the machine drain's water would rise up to the sink because it was too much and the drain couldn't cope (being half blocked)... as a result the machine anti-foam system would intervene for no reason making matters worse... the reason why this would happen was cos' at the end of each drain some of the water accumulated in the sink would return in the tub cheating the machine into detecting the presence of something in the sump... presumably suds in this case even if it was just a water reflux. This is not the same situation as yours but I find it analogous to yours... as this problem would not occur with any other wash programme. Of course it's all sorted now... my sink is fit as a fiddle ;-) | ||

Very nice machine the 9527 looks like it has just left the factory. When i was living at home we had the 9536 model. I do remember the step down shock creasing section of the acrylics 50,40deg & quick wash section. I always thought it went on to long. It was all to do with the pressure switch & pump. when we first got it i thought they was a fault with the machine but it does tell you about this cooldown feature in the instructions. I do think it was a waste of water. I also loved the zero delay door lock. If you forgot to add an item & realised pretty quick you could open the door as long as the water level wasn't to high. I also liked the acrylics final spin 2 short bursts at 500rpm then 1 short burst at 1000rpm.

If I remember rightly (please anyone correct me if otherwise), there is a tachograph coil on the back of the motor which can come loose. This needs putting back on as it relays information back to the module to adjust motor speed. | ||
