Hi there,

Please can you help? My Servis M6135 will not spin at the end of a cycle. After a rinse, the pump operates and empties the drum, but continues to pump for ages even when all the water has gone. Eventually the machine gives up and indicates the cycle has finished. I've tried the pump/spin setting and the rinse setting too, with the same results. The motor appears to run ok when asked to tumble, and turns over gently even while still trying to pump out water that isn't there. I've poured water into the drum and this drains away fine under gravity. I've removed the pressure switch connected by the long thin pipe to the bottom of the drum and tested it. There's continuity between each of the 2 red wires and the black one when i blow onto the pipe connection. I presume this is working fine. The wires on the control module and the rest of the machine seem secure. Now i'm stuck!

Panic over... Sussed it now...

One of the components on the control module's printed circuit board had a blackened soldered connection that had got hot and burnt away the solder and the copper track on the board. Just bridged it by carefully soldering a small piece of wire across the break. If I hadn't seen this I think I would have tried one of the module repair sites I found on the 'net. For about £25 they offer to quickly fix your faulty module, or return it with a partial refund if it's beyond repair or found to be fault free. Worth considering baring in mind the cost of some of these things, and as they're not hard to unplug and remove yourself. Just make sure you unplug it from the mains and keep your hands off the actual components! Hope this can help someone else. Cheers.
