Washing Machine Help Forum

Hi there,

I have a Whirlpool AWM347 and all of a sudden it tripped the fuse and now when re connected it does not want to work!

I have power to the machine as the power light is on, but nothing happens once a programme is selected.

I have taken the door lock off and stripped it down and found that it is blackened inside and part of one of the terminals inside the switch has been melted. I assume this is what caused the problem.







It is the burgandy bit i need to replace, i cant find the relevant door lock on the parts page. Its a 3 terminal Rold DA060. The black holder is fine so i only really need the burgandy bit.

Anyone got any ideas?

These are the nearest ones to what im after but from what i can make out in the piccy the black holder is not the same.

Can anyone ID the burgandy bit as being the same as the one i have? I can see that none of them have the proviles edge where the male plug would plug in but i can get round that. Its a 6 year old machine and i just need to eek out its life as cheaply as possible as i have just moved house and am what you might call skint! lol
Much appreciated[url][/url]

P/no 4812 280 58044. If it's not in the shop@ facility, an email with the part number to spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk will get things moving for you.

It may well come with an auxillary switch mounted on the lock - ignore it.

Penguin,

I ordered the switch an it has arrived but it has got more than the 3 terminals on the original. I think the plug will still fit in onto 3 of the terminals.

Is this the right switch? The mounting etc looks the same.

If its ok i will fit it and see if it cures it or not.

thanks

The plug can only be fitted in one position.

Machine still does not fill well it does nothing in fact!
