[QUOTE="Bernard, post: 1086570, member: 1538"] Hallelujah !!! Perseverance pays off. I gave up last night and told the wife she needs to replace it. I left it on the stoep under the stars ... I was so miffed. Woke up in the middle of the night thinking .... what if ... what if.... There was a "U" shaped element at the bottom, next to the turntable motor. This morning I started again .... and removed the element. I think this element is used to evaporate the water which is generated while cooking and runs down the sides. Mug of water inside ... switch on ... timer to 30 seconds .... PING !!! So micro is now working. Now it was the top loader washing machine. It's been leaking for weeks now. Traced that to a really tiny soft rubber seal on the motor shaft. The rubber is kept in contact with the shaft by a very soft circular spring. I packed the area with Bostik Soft Plastic. If it holds I should get a few weeks out of it. A new motor and pump housing is R520 at Tecsa. R520 when I only need a R10 part ??? [/QUOTE]
