FISHER AND PAYKEL _ DEIX1 AA WW _ INTUITIVE DRYER _ FAULT CODES _ 1 of 2

                                              { 1 of 2 }
FAULT DIAGNOSTICS

• If a fault occurs that prevents correct operation of the dryer, and is detected by the controllers, the dryer is stopped, the LCD shows a fault code and the beeper is continuously turned on and off.
• Pressing any button once will disable the beeping. The fault code information will remain on the LCD screen until the power supply to the dryer is turned off
• If the Dryer has been either turned off or isolated from the power supply the fault code can be recalled from memory by entering diagnostic mode.
• To enter the Diagnostic Mode press and hold the Lifecycles button and then the Power button.  The machine will give 2 short beeps and the LCD screen will go blank. Make sure that the buttons are released after the beeps.  Note: Provided the power supply to the machine is switched on, diagnostic mode may be entered at any time.

DATA DISPLAY

To enter the Data Display screens, push the Lifecycles button again. One of three displays will appear in the screen (detailed below). To scroll through the different screens use the Options Up or Down buttons.

FAULT STATUS SCREEN

This screen will indicate the last fault code that occurred. If a fault is registered the fault code is saved to EEPROM, which retains its memory even when the power is switched off. The fault code will remain visible until another fault code overwrites it.

     The following are the fault codes that may be displayed. The remedy section of each fault is the suggested sequence of repair or replacement. If the first suggestion does not remedy the fault, check the next on the list.

FAULT CODE - 1:  COMMUNICATIONS ERROR

Communications failure between the sensor module and motor control module.

Remedy:

• Check the continuity of the module interconnecting harness.
• Replace the sensor module
• Replace the motor control module.

MOTOR CONTROL MODULE

SENSOR MODULE

FAULT CODE 2:  DRUM GAP CANNOT BE LOCATED.

Remedy:

• Ensure the sensor module is correctly located and clipped into place.
• Replace the lens on the sensor module.
• Replace the sensor module.
• Remove the top deck and clean the drum sensing “bumps” on the outside of the drum end.
• Replace the drum.

FAULT CODE 3:  DRUM STALLED

Remedy:

• If there is mechanical movement of the drum, but this fault code is appearing, follow the procedures for fault code 2.
• If there is no mechanical movement of the drum, check drum movement mechanisms: belt, motor and motor harness.
• Replace the motor control module. 
• Replace the motor.

FAULT CODE 4:  INVALID OPTION LINK READ

• The motor control module heat source option link read is invalid.

Remedy:

• Replace the motor control module.

FAULT CODE 6:  DOOR JAMMED [USER WARNING]

The door is unable to close due to either clothes catching or an excessive closing load.

Remedy:

• Remove the obstruction.
• Re position or remove some of the load.
• Fix the cause of binding in the door closing mechanism.
• Replace the motor.

FAULT CODE 7:  MOTOR CURRENT EXCESSIVE

Remedy:

• Free up the dryer. Remove overload or cause of jamming.
• Replace the motor control module. 
• Replace the motor.

FAULT CODE 7b:  DISPLAY MODULE RAM CHECK ERROR.

• On power up, the display has checked its memory against a known reference and found differences.

Remedy:

• Replace the display module. 

DISPLAY MODULE:  

FAULT CODE 8:  EXHAUST SENSOR OVER TEMPERATURE

• The exhaust sensor measures over temperature (element short circuit or low resistance).

Remedy:

• Check the integrity of the sensor circuit checking particularly for short circuits.  Approximate resistances (+ 10%) at various temperatures are; 0oC = 33kOhms, 22oC = 11 kOhms, 40oC = 5 kOhms. Replace thermistor and harness if out of range.
• Check the element integrity in that it switches off when the dryer is stopped.
• Replace the motor control module.
• Replace the sensor module.

FAULT CODE 9:  EXHAUST SENSOR UNDER TEMPERATURE

• The exhaust sensor measures under temperature (open circuit or not plugged in).

Remedy: 

• Refer to steps for over temperature fault (fault code 8) above, but open circuit likely.

FAULT CODE 10:  24 VOLT SUPPLY MEASUREMENT ERROR

• The sensor module measures low voltage on actuator power supply.

Remedy:

• Replace the sensor module.

FAULT CODE 11:  LID LOCK OPEN CIRCUIT

Remedy:

• Check the lid lock harness and coil. If there is continuity through these, replace the sensor module.

FAULT CODE 12:  LID LOCK SWITCHING DEVICE FAILURE

Remedy:

• Check that there are no short circuits in the lid lock circuit which may have caused the failure in the sensor module. The resistance of the lid lock should be between 50 and 100 ohms. If the circuit is correct, replace the sensor module.

FAULT CODE 14:  SENSOR MODULE FAULT.  REPLACE SENSOR MODULE.

FAULT CODE 15:  SENSOR MODULE FAULT.  REPLACE SENSOR MODULE.
