Mend Zanussi FL 828 Start Inlet Valve

My Zanussi Fl 828 wont start filling?

It appears to be the switch that operates the inlet valve. This switch has two wires connecting it to the machine. I can measure 15vac on these wires without the switch operating. Is that the operating voltage for the switch? I dont want to change the switch if it's the voltage that is wrong. I can operate the switch manually by inserting a small bladed screwdriver into the switch and lifting a small red tag. Thanks.

just wasted 20 quid on a door switch, wife got a new washing machine, zanussi's in the big white mountain at the recycle centre, we live in a wasteful society, sorry roger.....
ps found the airline in the door switch came from the pump which tested fine?

i have the same problem i.e. won't start filling - but my door switch isn't operating properly - i have dissassembled it and it definitely isnt giving me a closed contact reading but it is quite a complicated arrangement with an air line on it? I intended to replace the door switch but the wife favours a new machine (no surprise there). I'll keep you posted if I resolve this.
