ASEA cylinda 12000. stops cycle between 2 and 3 on control. why?

I have a similar problem with my Cylinda 12000 in that it gets to position 4 after beginning the cycle on 3 and stays washing there, but if I move the knob on slightly it continues normally (rinsing, spinning etc.). Changing the (very expensive!) timer made no difference. It's been suggested to me that the inlet valve solenoids may be at fault, but I've yet to check. I know this is a very late reply, but it may be useful to someone. Yes, it is a brilliant machine. I bought mine in late 1989.

Hi Douglas, same machine, similar problem, this one is not spinning. It used to start spinning then not stop. Have you had any luck repairing yours. I'm looking for a manual as we speak. Excellent machines - may be hand washing this weekend though.
