F10 is pressure switch not sensing. There is a pressure vessel fitted to the sump hose and a thin plastic tube from that to the pressure switch. The vessel might be blocked or the thin tube might have a hole in it. |

Actually very good for a machine that's been in a fire. As none of the plastic is melted and the controller works I would guess the fire never reached the room this was in.
As far as an error code for a failing pressure switch I would agree with Fido. Ususally either the tube gets a hole or the boot it hooks into plugs up. Either way good luck with this machine. WK78 |

Well done Chris on your find.
I do hope that you can get it up & running. I used to do exactly the same thing as you loads of times some years back. I can remember spotting a English Electric Twin Tub in someone's back yard & i so badly wanted it but i never had the courage to take it on my first attempt so i went back the following night just praying that it was still there & luckily it was so i wheeled it all the way home through the back streets back to our house. It only needed a replacement pump belt & i got loads of enjoyment out of using it. |
