Hi, I have an AEG LAVAMAT model 16800 washing machine. It will turn on, spin and drain, but when I try and run the wash cycle it makes a bang sound then does n't continue on the cycle and the time does nt run down! I have cleaned the filter which was blocked with fluff! But no joy, Can you help?

Hi, It was the tachometer. Turn the machine on its side the motor can be seen from underneath. It is attached to the motor and had worked loose..one up for our side!
