FISHER & PAYKEL_SMARTDRIVE ELECTRONIC WASHING MACHINE_PHASE 1 TO 5 - 230V _ USER WARNINGS _ LED FLASHES DETAILS _ FAULT CODES [3 of 5]






Contn:


                                     [3 of 5]
{00101010}  Phase 1 - Rotor Fault.
Primary Source
Action - Turn off Smartdrive at the wall and back on again after 5 seconds. Re-start.

{00101011}  Phase 1 to 5 - OOB Switch Fault.
The Motor Controller has found that the signal returning from the out of balance switch indicates that the switch is permanently on or the harness to it is isconnected.
Primary Source - Mechanical
Action
Check Smartdrive is level and that the bowl is not contacting the out of balance lever.
Check that the bias spring is correctly located between the wrapper and the outer bowl.
Check that the out of balance switch is free to move. Check switch operates correctly when activated. Replace switch if suspect. If the out of balance switch shows signs of corrosion replace the switch. Check the harness to the switch is connected correctly. If the harness terminals show signs of corrosion, then fit a new harness.
Check the suspension is not catching.
Secondary Source - Motor Controller. (Display Module Phase 1).
Action - Replace Motor Controller. (Display Module Phase 1).

{00101100}  Phase 2 to 5 - Water in Bowl During Spin.
The Display has sensed a water level in the bowl during spin. This may be caused by a slow pump out rate due to pump hose or pump partial blockage.
Primary Source - Pump System
Action
Check that the pump hose is not squashed or kinked.
Check the length of the drain hose and try to reduce the length if excessively long. A 1 metre extension hose of the same diameter fitted to the existing hose is the maximum allowable length.
If the bowl is empty of water, remove the pump from the pump housing and check that it is not blocked. Also check that the drain hose is not blocked.
If the bowl contains water, then service the pump from the top of Smartdrive by removing the top deck and inner bowl. Bail out the water, remove the pump cap and hood and clear the pump of any obstruction.
Check that the water is not siphoning back into Smartdrive when the pump turns off when the spin speed reaches 600 rpm.
Secondary Source - Motor Controller
Action - Replace Motor Controller.

{00101101}  Phase 5 - Display Fault.
On power up the display module has tested its ROM is corrupt.
Primary Source - Display module
Action - Replace Display module.

{00101110}  Phase 5 IW - Display EEPROM Check.
The Intuitive display has detected a problem with its internal EEPROM.
Primary Source – IW Display module
Action - Replace IW Display module.

{00101111}  Phase 2 to 3 - Bowl Dis-engaged Fault.
While carrying out a bowl check, the Motor Controller has found that the bowl is not engaged even though the pressure sensor indicates that the bowl is empty. The Motor Controller continues to check for 2 minutes. During this time the module has not been able to determine a valid bowl status and so displays this fault. This fault differs from fault 40 in that a valid bowl status could not be determined. The first two areas to check are the clutch and the pressure tube. If these two appear correct, then the fault could be with the pressure sensor in the Motor Controller.
Primary Source - Mechanical
Action
Check that there are no clothes or other foreign objects preventing the clutch from reengaging.
Next check that the pressure tube has not come off and that it is not kinked.
Secondary Source - Motor Controller.
Action - Replace Motor Controller, if the above checks out without fault.

{00110000}  Phase 2 to 5 - Hot and Cold Valve Fault.
The Motor Controller has measured voltages from the valve diagnostic circuit that indicate both the hot and cold valve are faulty. The most likely cause is that the valve harnesses have not been connected correctly.
Primary Source - Wiring
Action - Check valve harnesses are correctly fastened to valves.
Secondary Source - Water Valves
Action - Check valve coils are not faulty ( open circuit ).
Tertiary Source - Motor Controller
Action - The valve drivers or valve diagnostic circuit may be at fault. If the primary and secondary checks pass inspection then replace the Motor Controller.

{00110001}  Phase 2 to 5 - Cold Valve Fault.
The Motor Controller has measured a voltage from the valve diagnostic circuit that indicates the cold valve is faulty. The most likely cause is that the valve harness has not been connected correctly. See fault 48. for service procedure.

{00110010}  Phase 2 to 5 - Hot Valve Fault.
The Motor Controller has measured a voltage from the valve diagnostic circuit that indicates that the hot valve is faulty. The most likely cause is that the valve harness has not been connected correctly.
Primary Source - Wiring
Action - Check valve harnesses are correctly fastened to valves.
Secondary Source - Water Valves
Action - Check valve coils are not faulty ( open circuit ). If either of these valves are low impedance it is likely that the Motor Control output has also failed, in which case replace Motor Controller and valve(s).
NB. Phase 5 can give fault code 50 when Smartdrive powers off while spinning. In this case there will be no fault.
