Candy Gofs262 Completely Dead, No Lights
Hi, I put washer on but 2 minutes later it was completely dead, no lights, nothing! I have changed the fuse 3 times from working appliances, power doesn't seem to be getting to the washer. I am stumped!

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Candy GOFS262 completely dead with no lights
- The problem
- The Candy GOFS262 washing machine went completely dead about two minutes after being switched on, with no lights or response. The user had already tried three known-good plug fuses from other appliances and reported that power did not seem to be reaching the washer.
- Likely cause
- The discussion suggests a loss of supply within the machine rather than a simple plug fuse issue. A forum reply stated there is unlikely to be a separate internal glass fuse causing the whole machine to go dead, and that power would be expected to pass through the on/off switch and door interlock before the main PCB.
- What fixed it
- The accepted advice was to work through standard 'washing machine won't start' checks. No specific internal fuse location or confirmed repair was provided. Based on the replies, likely areas for diagnosis are the incoming supply path, on/off switch, door interlock, and then the main PCB. The exact repair was not confirmed.
- Checks to try
- Plug fuse changed three times using working fuses from other appliances
- General 'washing machine won't start' checks had already been carried out by the user
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Thx Andy but I already checked these remedies. I seem to think its an internal glass fuse but I can't locate it once I have taken the top off. Is it encased in plastic? The manual doesn't show it.
I don't think there is an internal fuse which would make the whole machine go dead. If there was one it'd be in the main PCB or control panel. I'd expect power to go to the on off switch and door interlock before going to the main pcb.
