Reading Fault Codes and Diagnostics on Fisher Paykel Smart Drives.

This video is explaining how to read the error/fault codes on your Fisher and Paykel Smart Drive washing machine if it is beeping at you. I show how to access diagnostics, and then I go through some of the most common codes. This example machine is a Fisher and Paykel Smart Drive MW511, but I also point out differences on older models.
If your machine is an Intuitive Eco (push buttons with a LCD display) check out this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emavaGiei8ahfJY
If your machine is a Aquasmart (Touch pads with LCD Display) Check this video here:
This is really only an introduction, use this info at your own risk, and make sure you are safe (and legally qualified) any time you are working on an appliance.
If you have the rising tune of beeps rather then long constant tones ones you probably have a user warning not a fault code, have a look at this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZS1amxnodl0i80

Thank you so much. We bought a control board for a GW609 and it didn't work; all it needed was a size reset. Thanks to you the machine is now running (perhaps for another 29 years).

[@chillednotstirred901]

Thank you so much for this video! You saved me from buying a whole new washing machine. I had the 00001001 fault and it would happen randomly and usually if I turned it off at the power point and tried the next day it would work, but the last few day it just beeping that error at me and I was at my wits end! Really great and informative video, thank you

Thanks bro I just fixed my machine I had it for 14 years now.Love my fisher and paykel

[@DonaldNairn]

Really great video's, well done, the agitator has a fabric softener dispenser cap and some owners I have observed will put power in it also, but water does not get to it, so how does it dispense ????

[@motrepairs]

Yeah we often have problems of people putting powder in it. When the machine is spinning for rinse after the wash the fabric softener gets spun out of the cup, but sits inside the dispenser. When it stops spinning to fill for the rinse if flows down and out through the hole in the bottom.

[@msmissyyy]

[@stevedavey4466]

G’day awesome info you are sharing! Have checked out most of the info you have relating to my FP model WA80T65GW1 that seems to be giving a code 39 I have checked the tube and it has no obstruction The machine fills to high when set on low then tries to agitate but the agitator only moves back and forth about 40mm each way Any suggestions to what may be wrong 🤔 Cheers...... Steve

[@motrepairs]

If you take the tube off and block the lower end then blow in the top is there any air leaking? (never blow into the sensor) Shouldn't be able to blow at all, you could have a tiny hole worn, otherwise could be faulty sensor that is built into the motor controller. Mostly likely a hole in my experience so make sure to check the tube carefully before spending money on a controller.

[@galah4092]

I have a MW512 from 2009 washer I bought with the farm 8 years ago. It just started to throw a 49 error. Cold water solenoid. Investigating, both solenoids showed ~56 ohms, no obvious transistor shorts, but the 1.6A fuse was blown. Usually electronics dies to protect fuses, so I grabbed the washing machine from our last place from the shed and tried it. (A GW612) Wierdly it showed the same error code. I'm sre it worked before we moved here. Poked at it with a multimeter, again solenoids good, again the 1A fuse running the solanoid drive logic was blown. So I replaced it with a 2A automative blade fuse because I had one. Its working. Maybe these 1 or 1.6A fuses die of old age? Thanks heaps for the informative video!

[@motrepairs]

I haven't had the fuses just die of old age, but maybe check the pump resistance closely. The water valves are used as part of the DC HV power supply (even though they themselves are 24V, which is why the water valve codes are some of the few to come at power up rather then when cycle started) so a failing pump will also blow the fuse.

[@Matowix]

have this fault code 130 . Could it also be bad bearings or the windings ? It spins sometimes (empty) but once up to speed it stops. When i spin the drum by hand it makes 2 thuds in the bottom but no bearing rumbling . Thanks

[@motrepairs]

If you turn the motor by hand the controller will try to brake it, eve when unplugged. If water is leaking through the bearings it will cause the RPS to corrode a lot quicker and and fitting a new sensor will only be a short term fix until it corrodes too.

[@Matowix]

@@motrepairs I cleaned up the contacts on the plug to the rps and the 3 stator contacts just to be sure. And it went through a whole cycle. Working ok. And didn't see any water leaking from seal & bearings etc. So many thanks. MUCH APPRECIATED FOR THE GUIDE AND YOHR REPLYS 😀😀

[@Matowix]

@@motrepairs just a follow up. It's been going ok but now it stops just before rinse cycle when still has one third left to drain of the main wash , it just pauses. I can re start it by power off and go back to thst stage of cycle. There is no fault code coming up. And it will stop just before final spin, will do small attempts at starting to spin . Again I can do the spin after power off for a bit and goto spin. As if it needed too cool down form or something. Also there is some dirt and lint at bottom of the bowel at the end of the cycle as of its coming up from somewhere in the machine. I can do a full cycle but have to power off and restart about twice per cycle. Any ideas. Thanks again.

[@motrepairs]

@@MatowixCheck the drain pump resistance (should be very close 32 ohms if you are in a 220-240v country), or when it stops unplug the power then touch the pump windings and make sure they aren't too hot to touch. If the pump is starting to fail then it has a safety overheat that will cut out until it cools down, the reset. If it is this and you carry on using it eventually the pump will burn out and can kill the control board.

[@RiversRead]

Thanks very much for the video. I have a 49 code (read 48). Do you have a video about test resistance on the valves? Is it likely valves or control board ?

[@motrepairs]

If you don't know how to use a multimeter to test the valve its probably best you don't take the display off and get someone who knows what they are doing.

Hi Im in Turangi and have an MW513 with a 112 code second third and fourth lights on reading left to right? It’s my late Mums machine and I want to donate it to local charity store but want to make sure it’s working. Been in my garage since 2017.

Hi, I turned the machine on and heard a popping sound, now no lights come on at all and it won’t start. Is this the control board I need to replace or a fuse or some other issue.?. Thanks for doing these vids, very helpful.

[@motrepairs]

There is a fuse soldered on the control board but when that blows its usually because something else is shorted out. When you get the new control board there is a piece of paper with it listing the resistances of all components (motor, pump, valves, etc) that you need to check just in case its a failed pump or something. Otherwise it will just blow the new control board too.

[@GeoffLogie]

Cheers for the prompt response. I gather it is the pump which is the cause of the issue as this was the original fault that brought me to your KZbin channel. To replace the pump and the control board along with a new controls face plate comes to $400. Not sure the repair is the best solution given the cost of a new one. Thanks again.

[@motrepairs]

I don't have info for the US models sorry, best to go back to the supplier who sold you the control board, usually they come with a sheet of paper telling you how for that series. Some of the earlier high efficiency washers didn't need size set, if you didn't get a error 9 when first powering on you may be ok.

My machine is a GW 711 Thanks

[@motrepairs]

If you aren't getting any fault codes Its probably the pump not draining rather then a spinning problem. Pump is probably either partially blocked, or if its stopping it could be overheating. Have a look at my two Blocked pump videos, and check the resistance of your pump, should be close to 32-33 ohms.

That is a motor controller fault, however a very uncommon one, so double check to make sure you are reading it correctly.

[@pogs9833]

Thank you very much for the reply! My friend showed me a video of it getting stuck near the end of the cycle making that sort of clunking sound trying to decide whether to drain. She turned it off, then on again and forwarded to end of cycle to drain the water and complete the draining and spinning. I removed the drum and checked for clogged pump. No clog and confirmed that the pump could drain very well when it does go. I followed the error code checking instructions to get lights 11111100. It seems to work out to 252.

[@motrepairs]

I don't think I've come across that before. Does it flash any lights when it beeps? Is it the constant repeated fault beeps or the rising tone? These machines are only meant to do one set of beeps at the end of cycle, so anything else after that should log a fault code.

[@motrepairs]

If its not turning on sounds like a controller, and the technician should have checked all components like pump and valves etc to make sure none of them have caused it to blow, so probably not much point getting a second opinion. Hopefully he also had a look over the machine at the bearings and suspension etc to give you an idea of the condition of the rest of the machine, if main seal or bearings are on their way out then it usually isn't worth doing a controller, but if everything else is in good condition then hopefully you would have a few years left in it with a new controller.

It really depends on the condition of the rest of the machine, if too many things start adding up then it can be cheaper to replace it.

Hi, Sometimes when the valve fails it will damage the controller. If you have a known good valve and it is faulting as soon as powered on you will need to replace the controller unfortunately.

[@motrepairs]

Also If you are having valves fail quickly, what is your water pressure like, are you on town supply? There is sometimes a filter in the tap end of the hose that gets blocked meaning the valve has to stay on a lot longer to fill and it ages them quicker.

That code is only on the older 1990's machines, it is a Bowl Dis-engage fault, similar to a fault 40. Means the bowl isnt dropping down and locking onto the shaft for spin properly, Take the agitator and inner bowl out and check nothing in the clutch spline area, shaft is clean so bowl can slide up and down correctly. Also check water level sensing is correct.

Just unplug it at wall and replug it. It resets

Depending what the code is this can be a bad idea and end up blowing you controller. If for example the drain pump is overheating and you carry on resetting the pump can burn out and short the controller. The smart drives actually retry up to 8 times when they detect a "Fatal" (F code, not user warning) error, so by the time it does the fault code beeps its probably not something that can be fixed by just turning it off and on.
