Machine was working fine then out of the blue stopped mid program and wouldn't spin. I thought at least I could wash some clothes to drip dry till getting problem sorted but on trying a program 5 wash it will now not even fill. Drum still does a gentle turn and heat element is definitely working [smelt it when it was trying to heat the water that wasn't there !!]
Any help greatly appreciated. [Sods law - the handle broke off when I tried to open it mid program too !!]

it sounds like the pressure switch bottle is blocked ant the washer thinks it is still full of water thus allowing the heater to activate check for a blockage here
