I opened the door of my 1994 Creda 1087 to remove the spun load, to be greeted by whisps of smoke and a burning smell.
it seems the heater was energized after the final spin, during the end of cycle drain pump run.
This is a Welsh Hotpoint with Ako timer, it was a Comet special.
I remember buying it, I opened the door and saw the green plastic outer tub and bought it on the strength of that as our previous Washer had a vitreous enamelled tub which rusted and then pinholed.
After a quick look I think it`s a timer fault.
It was a reconditioned one with a 6 months guarantee that I fitted 15 years ago.
Now I cant find anyone that does these old electromechanical timers.
Does anyone know where I could get one repaired nowadays please?
