Servis M3016A (Caress 1600)

Postby Bonehead » Tue Dec 30, 2003 11:22 am

My wonderful washing machine will not advance through the program wheel, but just sits there repeating the same steps over and over again. The only way I can get a wash cycle out of it is to turn it off, manually advance it by one click and turn it on again.

I tried the usual "Unplug it overnight" and that didn't work.

Typically, it's a month out of warranty!

Is it a physical or computer fault? Is it worth getting it fixed?

My wife has never liked it anyway!

Cheers,
Mark

Mark, it is most likely a "computer" fault. The electronic modules on Servis washers have a fairly high failure rate, the module for your's is around the £120 mark, plus labour if you were to have it reapired.

As you're wife never liked it I would suggest you put that money towards a new machine, but this time go for a better quality product. I don't mean that to sound condescending, but you get what you pay for to some extent with appliances, as you have learned.

Regards.

Dave.
