check how many times the start light flashs, this means different error codes.
the most common are flash 3 times pause then flash 3 times again: fault heating problem which means its a fault with the heater, ntc sensor or main pcb.
second fault is flashs 4 times pause flashs four times again: fault draining problem which means it could be a faulting pump and blocked pump or check if its going into a sink check the conection at the end of the pipe is not blocked.
but let me tell you if its the flashs 3 times one and you have ta pay for the repair i wouldn't bother it gonna cost ya about £120 ta get fixed and thats if its not the pcb, if its the pcb thats gone the pcb boards alone are £139 inc vat!
