Splendid evening stacked Ariston washing machine

I had a similar problem. I shut off the breaker. Didn't help. Shut off the main breaker didn't help. Now if all the power is off how in blazes does the machine know it is stll plugged in? So I empty the drawer under the washer, completely remove the drawer, lay on my stomach and unplug the @#$#@ machine and plugged it back in. Fixed it. When we got home I removed the drawer again. I removed the face board. Put fasteners on it so no longer a drawer. Just a door. I then moved the plug out where it can be reached. I mounted a 220 switch for the plug. Why when it is 120? for some reason unless the white and black are disconnected the washer thinks it is still plugged in. Although there is no voltage there must be an interlock that can indicate if it is unplugged or power is just removed. While I was under that washer I moved the 2 valves to the front area where they are easily turned on and off like directions say to do. Makes DWs work much easier. She can quickly turn power off and on with the power switch and turn the water valves off and on easily. When the DW is happy I am happy.:B

I have found the support people at Westland Sales (the distributor) very helpful.
