Tricity Bendix Aw1201 W - Programme Dial Fault
Hi,
I would welcome any comments on this problem I have with a Tricity Bendix Washing machine.The programme dial won't hold, very loose and can be turned easily and doesnt click to any programme.
No lights will come on. I have powered off and on at the mains and no change, used a different socket etc. This worked fine yesterday and the cycle finished as usual but won't work today.
Any help appreciated.
Regards
D.

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Tricity Bendix AW1201 W programme dial loose with no power indication
- The problem
- On a Tricity Bendix AW1201 W washing machine, the programme dial became very loose, turned freely and no longer clicked into programme positions. No lights came on. Power cycling at the mains and trying a different socket made no difference. The machine had completed its previous wash normally the day before.
- Likely cause
- Most strongly supported diagnosis is a fault in the programme selector area: either the mechanical timer internals have broken, if this model uses a mechanical timer, or the control knob itself is broken. Exact cause was not confirmed.
- What fixed it
- The accepted advice was to have the machine inspected, or strip down the control area to look for a broken knob or timer mechanism. No completed repair was documented.
- Checks to try
- Powered off and on at the mains
- Tried a different socket
- Observed programme dial turned freely and did not click
- Observed no lights illuminated
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

If it's a mechanical timer, and normally has resistance when turned and makes clicking sounds the mechanics inside could be broken but it may well just be the control knob that's broken. Nothing to suggest really other than to either get someone in to look at it or try to strip it down to look.
