Smart drive 708 7.5kg toploader. All lights and power on but wont start when 'start/pause' hit.

HI - A 708 EH! A BIT OF AN OLDIE - ANYWAY THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE THE DOOR SWITCH NOT OPERATING.

OK - to repair - unplug the power source - remove 2 screws back top corners, lift the display unit & lay on the lid - on the right side got all the wires going down the machine - locate the first plug has 4 wires , wh - Y- Bl & Bl - BK/BL are thinner and both goes with the rest of the wires & the other 2 you will note goes under the controller - cut & strip the BK/BL so the copper is exposed - use a proper elect connector twist together these exposed wires & join inside the connector.

Assemble & enjoy.

CAUTION - this in effect will overide the lids effectiveness - whilst the machine is operational the opening of the lid will not pause/stop the machine in its tracks like how it should be. Be wary the user safety has been compromised - otherwise try to obtain a replacement if still available for these particular series...

Cheers
