[5 of 5]
{01101000} Phase 2 to 5 - Comms. Error.
{01101001} Phase 2 to 5 - Comms. Error Time-out.
These
faults are reported when the Display module detects an error in the
communications between the Display module and the Motor Controller. NB. If the product is an IW, check
that the motor controller is not 426520. If it is replace with a compatible
part. This is incompatible and will give a fault code 105 at the start of
agitate. Not before! If it is a 426520 replace motor controller with a
compatible part.

{01111111} Phase 5 – Machine Setup Error.
The
display module is a ‘Phase 5’ (grey housing) spare part, and has not been setup
or configured correctly. Not all Phase 5 displays can be used as a universal
spare part. They work correctly with phase 4 or 5 motor controllers. The
modules need to have the correct size, model and phase set correctly. An
incompatible setup will continue to give an error, e.g. a “Phase 1 LW Eco”.
Action
- Correctly set up the size model and phase of the display in machine setup
mode.
Set
size to 5, 6 or 7kg rating. Enter SIZE SETTING MODE. Push and hold the
water temp up button, then press the power button to enter SIZE SETTING MODE.
Three LEDs are used to identify size, cold water temperature LED identifies
5kg, the low water level LED identifies 6kg, the hold spin speed LED identifies
7kg. If the product has not been setup before all 3 LEDs will be on. To set the
size for 5kg push the wash temp up button. To set the size for 6kg push the
water level up button. To set the size for 7kg push the spin speed up button.
Set
Model to LW, MW or GW. The model setting of Smartdrive is determined by the
hot water temperature LED, high water level LED and Medium spin LED. If all 3
LEDs are on the model has never been set before. To select the correct model
press the following buttons. The Wash temperature down button turns only the
hot water temperature LED on, this indicates LW. The Water Level down button turns only the high water level LED
on, this indicates MW. The spin speed down button turns only the medium spin
speed LED on, this indicates GW.
Set
Phase to Phase 1 to 5. The phase setting of Smartdrive is determined by the
last 4 wash progress LEDs. If all 4 are on the phase has never been set before.
The phase may be selected by pressing the advance button, this will allow the 4
options to be selected. From right to left. The spin LED indicates that phase 5
has been selected. The display must be connected to a phase 5 motor controller.
The rinse2 LED indicates that Phase 3 or 4 has been selected. The display must
be connected to a phase 4 motor controller. The rinse1 LED indicates that Phase
2.5 has been selected, this is Phase 2 but the product has a reed switch
fitted. The display must be connected to a phase 4 motor controller. The wash5
LED indicates that Phase 1 or 2 has been selected. This option is for a
mechanical lid switch fitted on the display. The display must be connected to a
phase 4 motor controller in Phase 2 or a Phase1.4 motor controller in Phase 1.
Press power to lock the settings into memory. To
check the settings, start a cycle.
Incompatible settings will cause the error to recur. If this happens
check that the correct model numbers are fitted.
{10000010} Phase 1 to 5 - Single Rotor Position Sensor
Error.
The
Motor Controller has found an error in the pattern received from the Rotor
Position Sensor. The error is an instantaneous error only and is not a
permanent fault condition. Likely causes of this fault are a bad connection on
the harness between the Rotor Position Sensor and the Motor Controller, or a
faulty Rotor Position Sensor.
Primary
Source - Wiring
Action
Check
the Rotor Position Sensor with an RPS tester. Or set RESTART off and spin
product to 1000 RPM and lift lid to recreate fault. Replace the Rotor Position
Sensor if faulty.
Check
for corrosion on the edge connector of the Rotor Position Sensor. If faulty
replace sensor or harness.
Check
the contacts on the Rotor Position Sensor end of the Rotor Position Sensor
harness to see if any have been damaged. (each set of contacts in the socket
has two wipers. If the distance between these wipers varies between different
contacts, replace the Rotor Position Sensor harness).
If
the Rotor Position Sensor is an old type ensure it is cable tied.
Secondary
Source - Rotor Position Sensor
Action
- If the harness seems to be correct, check the Rotor Position Sensor for
loose, damaged, or faulty components.
Tertiary
Source - Motor Controller
Action
- The Motor Controller motor sensing circuitry may be faulty. Replace Motor
Controller.
{10000011} Phase 1 to 5 - Repetitive Rotor Position
Sensor Error.
The
Motor Controller has found an error in the pattern received from the Rotor
Position Sensor.
{10000100} Phase 1 to 4 - Single Current Trip.
The
Motor Controller has detected excess current in the motor or power switches. Likely
causes for a current trip are a short in the motor harness, a short in the
motor windings, incorrect Rotor Position Sensor positioning which does not
cause a Rotor Position Sensor error but produces incorrect sensor position
sequences.
Primary
Source – Wiring
Action
– Check the wiring connections from the Motor Controller to the stator and
the Rotor Position Sensor.
Secondary
Source - Motor
Action
Check
the resistance measurement between phases of the motor harness at the Motor
Controller.
Check
the Rotor Position Sensor, stator brass bridge terminal point and associated
harness for water or mechanical damage or corrosion. Check the harness has not
rubbed on the rotor.
Tertiary
Source - Motor Controller
Action - If
all the above show no signs of fault then replace the Motor Controller. Also
check for water leaks from the mixing chamber or valves that could possibly
come in contact with the Motor Controller and fix the leak before replacing
with new Motor Controller.
{10000101} Phase 1 to 4 - Repetitive Current Trip.
The
Motor Controller has detected a current trip.
{10000110} Phase 4 - Single Current Trip & Rotor
Position Sensor Error.
The Motor Controller has detected an excessive motor
current AND a Rotor Position Sensor error simultaneously.
{10001000} Phase 1 to 5 - Motor Stall.
The
Motor Controller has been unable to start the motor rotating and signals the
Display module with motor stall error. Possible causes of this fault are:
Faulty motor harness, faulty or jammed motor, seized bearings or seals, faulty
Motor Controller, faulty Rotor Position Sensor or harness.
Primary
Source - Wiring
Action
- Measure/check the motor harness, connectors and motor for discontinuity.
Take a resistance measurement between phases of the motor harness at the Motor
Controller. Check that the three stator wires are connected correctly.
Secondary
Source - Motor
Action
Check
free rotation of the agitator and bowl by rotating by hand. Bearings and seals
may be seized.
Check
the stator resistances. Check that the star point is located correctly.
Check
the Rotor Position Sensor and associated harness for water, mechanical damage
and
corrosion.
Tertiary
Source - Motor Controller
Action - If
the primary and secondary checks pass inspection then replace the Motor
Controller.
{10010000} Phase 1 - Motor Controller Software Trap.
The
Motor Controller has developed a fault.
Primary
Source - Motor Controller
Action
Power
off for 5 seconds & try again
Check
connections between the Display Module & the Motor Controller
Replace Motor Controller.
{10100000} Phase 1 to 5 - Bowl Engaged During Agitate.
The
bowl has re-engaged itself during agitate. Possible causes for this are a leak
in the air bell, bowl is over-loaded with clothes, the clutch has jammed or is
fouled with a foreign object.
Primary
Source - Mechanical
Action
Make
sure the bowl is not overloaded with too many clothes.
Check
that the rotating bowl assembly is not jammed to the agitator with any foreign
object that may be caught under the agitator skirt.
Check
that the clutch teeth are not locked together with dirt, lint, etc.
If
none of the above appear to be at fault, then check the air bell at the bottom
of the inner bowl for leaks.
Secondary
Source - Motor Controller (Phase 1 to 4 Only).
Action
- If Smartdrive is empty of water when faulting it is possible that the
pump circuit is faulty and has caused a pump out during wash. This would cause
the bowl to re-engage during agitate and the Motor Controller to display this
fault. Replace Motor Controller.
{10100001}
Phase 2 to 5 – Motor Controller Fault.
The
Motor Controller checks the voltage configuration (i.e. 110v or 230V) against
its EEPROM on power up. Should there be a mismatch, this error is flagged.
Primary
Source - Motor Controller
Action
- Replace Motor Controller
{10100010} Phase 3 to 5 Brake Deceleration Time-out Fault.
During the brake mode the Motor Controller has detected that the bowl has not come to a stop in the permitted time once dropping below 100 RPM. This fault has been installed for software testing only.
{10100011} Phase 4 to 5 - Motor Controller Fault.
The
Motor Controller has internally sensed a connection is open circuit. The cold
valve cannot be operated with this condition.
Primary
Source - Motor Controller.
Action
- Replace Motor Controller.
{10100100} Phase 4 to 5 - Brake Function Time-out
Fault.
This
fault indicates that the Motor Controller has been attempting to brake for 20
seconds. All spin loads should come to rest within 10 seconds something must
have gone wrong during the brake to prevent the bowl stopping in time.
Primary
Source - Wiring
Action
- Measure/check the motor harness, connectors and motor for discontinuity.
This can be done by taking a resistance measurement between phases of the motor
harness at the Motor Controller.
Secondary
Source - Motor Controller (Phase 4). Rotor Position Sensor (Phase 5)
Action
- Replace Motor Controller (Phase 4). Rotor Position Sensor (Phase 5).
{11000000}
