Remove plugs from side of main board in the rear of the machine one at a time. Nip it tighter with your fingers (not pliers) and put it back on. Now retry machine. If it still wont power up, then send the main board for test/repair (repair cost £49.90+vat inc return post) to EMW, The Barn, Millfield, Oxton, Notts, NG25 0TD along with a note of your name/address and a daytime tel. number.

Power off and disconnect machine. First check the plug fuse and mains socket. Drag machine out onto the floor, remove back and top cover. If its an electronic machine, check main control board for additional fuses. Next check the door switch and the wires leading to it, because all the power goes through the door switch. Then check for a faulty or burned out main switch. Then look at where the wires attach to the timer, if its an electromechanical type. Burned plastic at the base of the connectors usually indicates a burnt out internal switch in the timer.
