The mains cable appears to be disconnected just inside the machine but there are no obvious ways to get at the connections.
Can someone please advise on how to replace the mains cable.
Insert very thin blade beside the yellow switch top opposite the cable entry and winkle the yellow switch top off. Be careful not to lose the small spring. Undo the retaining bolt (under the cable) with T15 torx and withdraw switch assembly - repair cable as necessary
