Diplomatic Washing machine wont fill

[colsey25]

Any one got any idea why my diplomatic washer wont fill or spin, i have tested the valves and they are both fine would seem unlikely they would both go together anyway, i think the PCB is at fault but it is not burnt out or anything, i am wondering if i should replace it they only cost £30.00 or so, but just thought i would try my look and see if any one has any other thoughts.

Any help would be greatly appretaited dont really want to buy a new machine, funds low after xmas

thanx in advance

Does the pump run?

 

[colsey25]

pump does run, but no water in it to pump! it just sems to not tell it to start filling hot or cold.

I'll need the model number to take this further.

 

[assuhors]

If you put it on to a wash program does the drum turn?

 

[colsey25]

The model number is 8512, and it is a fully itergrated machine,

yes the drum turns, but no spin, i am thinking PCB but i am not that clued up on appliances i am an electrician.

Thanks for taking your time to help me.

Locate the pressure switch and disconnect the hose from it. If you hear a click as you disconnect then there's a blockage in the pressure hose/chamber.
I'll look up your model when I'm in the office tomorrow.

thanks sleepy head,

yes looked at the pressure switch and did disconnect the hose no click, but it does click if i squeeze the pipes, thus i pressume this is operating as it should,

not sure what else it could be i have (i think) checked everything

Will the machine fill with the pressure switch hose disconnected?

 

[colsey25]

no it wont fill with the pressure hose off.

I'm assuming the basics have been checked. There is a supply of water? not been accidentally turned off?

NO? OK. Meter out time.
Disconnect the wires from the heater and check to see if it's open circuit.

 

[colsey25]

ok will check heater in the morning i expect i should have a closed circuit and an open one if faulty??

 

[colsey25]

the heater is open circuit, as are the valves, there no 240v to valves at any time??
