Ariston A1635 Margherita?

Door switch and lock + timer seems to work ok. But that's all.

Pressure switch pipe is clear. What resistance should be on the switch terminals?

Sounds like a motor fault (if they don't detect a motor, then no water is taken in). Check carbon brushes on motor and make sure all pins on motor are connecting in motor plug.

I have investigated the pressure switch, by blowing down the pipe. There are 2 pairs of contacts. First set switches from open to closed, other set from closed to open, so i guess this is OK.

What else could the non-start be ?
