Brilliant, thank you so much for your reply. No I haven't checked either, so will have a look now, and let you know. Thanks again, really appreciate your help. | ||

Hi Chris
It’s likely that the pressure switch was partially blocked and by taking off the tube and blowing you’ve cleared it. It’s a common fault on these and doesn’t take much crud to stop the switch operating correctly so the machine still thinks it’s got too much water in it. . Might be worth checking the sump hose where the pressure vessel is and cleaning it out.

I see where you're coming from about the pressure switch, but it was completely stripped and cleaned 18 months ago, and when I blew down it yesterday, there was absolutely no resistance. Any thoughts on the warm/hot timer motor? The machine was only powered on for 15 minutes, but it felt as warm as a cup of tea. | ||

One of the timer motors runs continuously so would get warm although I’ve never noticed how hot they get. It could be that the cam is not rotating as freely as it used to and the resistance is putting a strain on the timer motor. I recently took apart a Servis timer and used electrical contact cleaner and lubricant which stopped that one from sticking. However, it sounds more like the pressure issue to me given you couldn’t get it to spin on either section of the programmer. Did it do its interim spins?
If it happens again, check the contacts on the pressure switch - the connection that goes to terminal 8 on the module is the one that needs to make to allow the machine to spin | ||

Avoid adjusting these if possible- they are set precisely and can be messed up quite easily as there are usually a few different adjustments for the different levels and adjusting one can mess up the others. With these machines is usually the air path that’s the issue rather than the switch itself. As Gizmo says it’s not the best place as fluff and un-dissolved detergent can get pushed into it.
According to the service book, it’s connection 13 on the pressure switch which should be a brown/grey wire. When the machine is empty, there should be continuity between 11 (also brown/grey)and 13 on the pressure switch. The module is the little unit at the bottom of the machine on the opposite side to the pump as in the picture. Hope this helps Steve

Just to be clear it’s green/brown on connection 11 and grey brown on connection 13.
