Hi all,

A year ago, I bought the aforementioned washer dryer second hand. The first time I tried turning the machine on, it already showed problems. After a couple of weeks, the machine suddenly started working perfectly and I started using it once a week without any problem. Now, a year later, the machines started showing the same problems.

After starting the program, the machine starts filling the machine with water, the drum rotates a couple of times to the left and to the right and then it stops. The first (delay) and third (rinse extra) lights start blinking slowly and the lock light starts blinking quickly. Then the machine stops the program and starts draining the water.

According to this web site, this means "Pressure switch or level sensor not sensing correctly". I have tested the pressure switch with my multimeter and it seems to work well. Also the hose which connects the pressure switch to the pressure chamber seems to be clear and open.

Before calling an expensive technician, is there anything else I can test? I think it's strange it didn't work at first, then out of the blue it started working and now it shows exactly the same problems...

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,
Rutger
