just started turning off after first rinse, then wont fire up for a while have to turn on and off at wall, today couldnt get life into it! worth pursuing to fix its over 7 years old.
If the machine is in good condition & is not noisy when on full spin then yes it is worth fixing. Possibly a faulty drain pump which is overheating by the time it gets to the end of the 1st rinse.
