Thanks, so guess I need to change the brushes, as none of the other programs work.

Well, changed the brushes and it worked straight away with a bit of whistling, but guess that was the bushes bedding in. Has worked perfectly for the last 3 weeks since I changed them - until today! Machine stopped at rinse+spin cycle and shown door open as before and the only program that worked was the drain. Put it on drain so I could get the door open; spun the drum around a couple of times and it sounds ok. Closed the door and put it on rinse+spin cycle - hey presto it works again! - but I wonder for how long? So far in a few weeks I've changed the drum bearings and then the motor bushes - am I getting a strong hint to get a new machine!?

Any thoughts? :?

Thanks,

Chris

Also! - whilst the machine still runs full cycle, albeit with intermittant glitches when it gets to spin, the spin is now accompanied with a sound like tube train rumble; I've had the back off whilst running and the noise is coming from the motor (brushes end I think) - but then stops at the end of the spin cycle as the power is cut and them/c slows down :? On occassions after the cycle is complete, we take the washing out and the LCD screen flashes FH at us :? Is all this looking like motor problems or the controller? - either way we are tempted to get a new m/c before the next major breakdown.

Regards,

Chris
