After doing a cotton 95 degree wash my machine is not working it has a flashing shopping basket coloured red and the dial turns but nothing changes

it looks like the motor brushes has gone .

• If the power button is pressed, Only cotton program is automatically set.
• By turning the dial, [Cotton - Cotton Quick - Synthetic - Delicate - Wool/Silk - Hand Wash - Quick 30 - Duvet - Baby Care] can be selected. This is a bi-directional selector
Try pressing the switch again to see whether it will disengage or try pulling it up.

There is no reset as such, if the motor shorted when the motor brushes went there is a good chance that it blew the motor tracking or relay on the board. Sometime this is indicated by F20 or F21. Unfortunately this will be a new board. You could try to run a motor test as follows:
Hold in the start button while turning the dial one click to the left (30 easycare) wait until the display shows 888 or two indicators light up next to dial.
Release start and turn dial to 60 cotton (WITHOUT GOING THRO THE OFF).
Press start
This should start a motor test
slow turn one way, slow turn the other, pump on then up to full spin.
(some machines will show the rpm on the display).
If this does not work, you probably need to change the module aswell.
Best of luck

Do you have power to the unit? Does the display light up?

Hi,


Thanks for using FixYa. LF error means long fill, which flashes when the water level won’t change for a period of time after the valves are turned on or the water has disengaged the basket but control does not detect a water level change. TO resolve this issue check if the water supply is turned on and the hose screens are not plugged or kinked. If the water is not entering the machine then check the water valve, also check the pressure hose connection to the machine/motor control. Please do rate the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.


Thanks

It allows you to select any wash you like, and set the temperature as you require it, thus giving you much more flexibility over the programmes.
Do not use it at 95 for all your washing, as it will cause problems with clothes shrinkind, and colours running.
Check the washcare labels on clothing before selecting the correct temperature, you can always go lower than the recommended temperature, but do not set it higher than it is supposed to be.

never do a 95 degrees white wash after a dark wash!!

The discolouration comes from the fact that water is never completely drained from the machine, and as such if there is any dye from a previous 'dark wash' you will be unintentionally washing dye into your whites.

Use colour catching or whitening products to reduce/ eleminate this

more than likely that your timer dial has a fault on it to replace your timer dial is alot if u need the 90 degree wash then you really are better off buying a new washer just as cheap to do it this way sorry for the bad news theres nothing you can really do sorry yet again m8

It could be a faulty water heater stat ,or the hot and cold fill pipes are the wrong way round. close Ireland bye bye
