Our washing machine (Simpson Encore 806) has started beeping through the whole cycle and flashes on the screen DF, does anyone have any ideas what the problem may be and how to fix?

My 806 washer, filled up with water just a little, then started to beep, the DF came on the screen, the machine would just stop, and not work at all.. I checked the temperature sensor.. replaced it.. and it did it again, Im thinking its either a door fault or a drain fault

DF means the temperature sensor is faulty. Replace it. Get a new one from your Simpson agent. Turn power off. Open panel by removing the 3 screws at the rear of panel & swing it up. If you are standing behind the machine look on the left hand side at the top of the circuit board. You will see a small white plug with 3 wires (red-white-black) Very carefully pull this plug toward you off the 3 pin base. The other end is the sensor pushed into the water inlet chamber. Pull it out. Push new sensor into water chamber (make sure black rubber o-ring is on it) Push wiring plug back onto 3 pin base. It can only go on one way. Do not force it or twist it as the 3 pins can be easily broken or damaged. Then close panel & power up.
