The MAS family in short
This is the profile page for the Avanti MAS washer family — three model numbers, all sharing the MAS prefix. It exists to route: the problem classes below are the ones that recur on this family, and each has its own page with the symptoms, the ranked causes and the owner checks.
What breaks here, and where each fault is diagnosed
- Abnormal noise or vibration — Read the MAS page for this one; it is linked below with the rest.
- Cycle will not run or complete — Worked through on its own MAS page, linked at the foot of this one.
- Will not drain or spin — Read the MAS page for this one; it is linked below with the rest.
- Water leak — Read the MAS page for this one; it is linked below with the rest.
- Will not start or no power — Diagnosed on the MAS page for this fault, which this profile links to below.
Ranked problem classes on the MAS line
- An unbalanced load — It leads because a single heavy item — a towel, a mat, a duvet — puts the drum out of balance and the machine has no way to fix it.
- A restricted or absent water supply — It leads because it is free to check and because it produces the most baffling symptom — a machine that appears to be doing nothing at all.
- A blocked pump filter or coin trap — It leads because it is the one part of the drain path the maker intends the owner to open, and because most machines that will not drain have nothing else wrong.
- An inlet hose or tap connection weeping — First, because it is under mains pressure all the time and because rubber washers harden and take a set.
- No supply at the outlet, the plug or the breaker — It leads because a dead panel can only mean supply, and a lamp in the same socket settles it in seconds.

When this stops being an owner job
Every page linked below ends with the same kind of line: what an owner can check, and what needs someone with a meter and access. On this family the accessible part is the larger part, which is why the routing above is worth working through before anyone is called.
