| VHV 680C-OS | 31100643 | 1530 (24/07/2015) | 1752 (31/12/2017) | ALL MARKETS |
the first thing you need to check is the door lock mechanism and pin 826 and 520 if this is not activating correctly then the machine will not start, sometimes the machine will not start if you have an additional fault check the heating system and the two thermostats that are on top of the heater, also inspect the plastic bits on the facial panel as the can become brittle and snap (see diagrams) below i have listed some videos to help and also the parts for this model.
