When I press the power on button that lights up ok, but when I press the start/reset button nothing happens. I have just replaced the microswitch to no avail.
Check to see if power is getting to inlet valve when you press the start button, could be faulty valve if power is there. The machines first operation at start is to fill, if it doesn't fill it wont do anything.
You may just need a new solenoid coil.
