Whats wrong with my Candy CM1146 washing machine?

Take the back off the machine and check the electrical connectors (spade connectors) directly in front of you that connect to the heating element. The ones Candy fit are piss poor. New ones cost pennies and take seconds to fit.

Check the tacho coil for breakages in the connections. The tacho coil is a small generator coil on the end of the motor which provides a voltage proportional to the speed of the motor. This voltage is fed back to the speed control module to enable the machine to check the rotation, direction and speed of the motor. If the machine goes into spin as soon as you turn it on, the tacho coil on the motor is faulty or come off, sometimes the screw holding it on has just come undone and it has fallen off or the outer casing has come adrift.
