Machine completes wash part of cycle but stops when it gets to the rinse/spin point. Have checked all obvious problems. Inlet valves seem OK, motor is fine (replaced brushes about 6 months ago). heater is fine, etc. Slightly confused by level sense switch - this has 4 contacts wired back to the controller, but only 3 of them seem to do anything - when you blow into the tube, you get a click and the 3 connections work as a changeover switch (ie. single pole, double throw). The 4th contact seems to be permanently open-circuit. Could be faulty, but don't understand how this could cause problem - wouldn't this also affect the main wash part of the cycle?

Help! Any advice much appreciated.

Since this is an old post I will answer for current people who like me went to this post for help.

The answer is check the cover switch. When the cover closes it allows the timer to go forward and do the rinse and spin. If the switch is broker the timer stops and nothing happens.
