machine keeps flashing F-12?

This happened to us too, after we had moved the machine. Followed advice from Dannyboy and it works again. Figured that during movement wires moved/became loose so just pushed all the connectors back on again. thanks Danny

F12-No communication between circuit boards
Possibly a duff connection on one of the board connectors. Power off, drag machine out onto the floor, remove covers, disconnect circuit board connectors and clean with toothbrush. May help to tighten them with a pair of pliers. Clean off any corrosion or crud, refit and test. Closely inspect the entire wiring loom and circuit boards, looking particularily closely at areas where the wiring touches the machine frame. Your'e looking for any signs of wear or fraying which would allow the bare wire to contact the frame. Check all wires and connectors generally for internal breakages - caused by movement of the wiring loom attached to the drum. Over a long period of time the wire strands inside the insulator break through metal fatigue. Although the outside of the wire appears ok the internal is open circuit. Pull on each individual wire - if theyre ok internally, they shouldnt stretch.
