This machine made a loud 'cracking' sound and will not start cycle now. I thought it was the door interlock and replaced it but still nothing. If I bridge the neutral and control(?)(red wire that goes to the pressure switch) then it will work ok??

Does this mean a feedback problem from the pressure switch or maybe a blocked chamber??

TRY REMOVING THE THIN PIPE FROM THE PRESSURE SWITCH ,AND GIVE IT A GOOD BLOW . THE SYSTEMS PROBILLY GOT A LOAD OF SCALE OR RUBBISH IN IT .
IF IT STILL DOES NOT WORK ,PLACE A METER ON THE PRESSURE SWITCH AND CHECK FOR CONTINUITY BY BLOWING UP THE SWITCH (THIS WILL CHECK TO SEE IF YOU NEED A NEW PRESSURE SWITCH .
USALLY THE FIRST FIXES THE PROBLEM ...
RUN A GOOD DESCALER THOUGH THE MACHINE ON A HOT WASH ....TO REMOVE ALL THE SH**.

**REMEMBER TO UNPLUG WASHER BEFORE TESTS **..
