Hi,

I have a Leisure RI85421 Washing machine and it started beeping whilst off this morning. I tried to turn it on a bit later but nothing happened. I have tried turning it off at the wall for a few hours but it still isn’t turning on. Have checked to see if there was a circuit trip and have tried plugging a hairdryer into the plug. Nothing has worked so far. Has anyone else had this experience before?

Some advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.

Leisure RI85421 would not power on after beeping while switched off

The problem
A Leisure RI85421 washing machine started beeping while apparently off, then later would not switch on at all. The user had already turned it off at the wall for a few hours, checked for a tripped circuit, and tested the socket with a hairdryer.
Likely cause
The accepted reply suggested a probable fault with the washing machine's internal power supply. This was not confirmed by further testing or repair.
What fixed it
Try the appliance in a completely separate socket to rule out a supply issue. If the fault remains, further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer, as the likely issue is inside the machine's power supply. The exact repair was not confirmed.
Checks to try
  • Turned off at the wall for a few hours
  • Checked for a circuit trip
  • Tested the original socket with a hairdryer
  • Advised to try a totally separate socket

Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

It's worth a try plugging the washing machine into a totally separate socket just in case but it sounds like it could be a problem with the power supply inside the washing machine and would need an engineer.
