Have had the same problem with an AVF40100. No longer made. Last October I took out washer, cleaned off grit etc, and it was OK until last night. Then I was told an Arcadia AVF10100 was a replacement. I think that is my next step after I have tried the previous 'trick'. Seems an expensive solution to a dodgy washer!!!!
