FISHER and PAYKEL_SMARTDRIVE ELECTRONIC WASHING MACHINE_PHASE 1 TO 5 - 230V _ USER WARNINGS _ LED FLASHES DETAILS _ FAULT CODES [4 of 5]

Contn:
                                          [4 of 5]
{00110011}  Phase 5 ECO – Recirculation Fault.
The product has detected that it is losing water during recirculation.
Primary Source – Diverter Valve Wiring
Action - Check diverter valve harness is correctly fastened to diverter valve. Check flying lead in motor controller, and connection to valve next to drain pump.
Secondary Source – Diverter Valve
Action - Check diverter valve resistance. If open circuit (nominal is 1500 ohms) replace diverter valve. During recalculation, check that water is being recalculated back into the bowl, and that no water is coming out of drain hose. If there is some water coming from the drain hose, then the diverter valve could be faulty, or it could be jammed with a foreign object.
Replace diverter valve.
Tertiary Source - Motor Controller
Action - The diverter valve drive circuit may be at fault. If the primary and secondary checks pass inspection then replace the Motor Controller.
{00110100}  Phase 5 ECO – Re-circulation Fault.
{00110011}  Phase 2 to 5 - Rotor Position Sensor Fault.
The Motor Controller has attempted a motor step test and has found that the motor has not stepped to the correct position. It has detected that the motor is connected and that the Motor Controller drive is operational. The Rotor Position Sensor signal sensing system is at fault.
Primary Source - Wiring
Action - Check the Rotor Position Sensor harness for continuity and that the connectors are correctly applied to the Rotor Position Sensor and to the Motor Controller.
Secondary Source - Rotor Position Sensor
Action - Check Rotor Position Sensor with RPS Tester or Replace Rotor Position Sensor.
Tertiary Source - Motor Controller
Action - The Motor Controller motor sensing circuitry may be faulty. Replace Motor Controller.
{00110110}  Phase 2 to 5 - Motor / Motor Control Step Fail.
The Motor Controller has attempted a motor step test and has found that the motor has not stepped to the correct position. The Motor Controller has detected that there is no motor current.  This indicates that either the motor is not connected or the Motor Controller motor drive is faulty.
Primary Source - Wiring
Action - Check the continuity of the motor harness and that the connectors are correctly applied to the stator and to the Motor Controller.
Secondary Source - Motor
Action - Check resistance of motor phases. Check the brass bridge terminal on the stator is not open circuit or burnt. Otherwise replace stator.
Tertiary Source - Motor Controller
Action - Replace Motor Controller.
{00110111}  Phase 3 to 5 - System Step Fail.
Primary Source - Rotor Position Sensor
Action
Check Motor & Rotor Position Sensor wiring
Check Rotor Position Sensor with RPS tester.
{00111000}  Phase 4 to 5 - Bowl Check Fault.
While carrying out a bowl check Smartdrive has not been able to determine a valid bowl status and so the Display flags 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.
Primary Source - Mechanical
Action
Check that there are no clothes or other foreign objects preventing the clutch from reengaging.
Check that the pressure tube has not come off and that it is not kinked.
Secondary Source - Motor Controller (Phase 4). Rotor Position Sensor (Phase 5)
Action - Replace Motor Controller(Phase 4). Rotor Position Sensor (Phase 5).
{00111001}  Phase 4 to 5 – Motor Controller Fault.
The Display module has requested the Motor Controller to perform an EEPROM write. Prior to writing the Motor Controller has tested the 15 Volt supply and found that it is below a safe level for writing EEPROM and has reported this to the display. This may be due to mains transients at the time of write or due to a faulty Motor Controller.
Primary Source - Motor Controller
Action - Replace Motor Controller.
{00111010}  Phase 4 to 5 – Pressure Transducer Fault.
The Pressure Transducer is outside normal limits.
Primary Source - Motor Controller
Action - Replace Motor Controller.
{00111011}  Phase 4 to 5 - Display Module Fault.
The Display module checked its physical ID on the display PCB and found it was out of range.
Primary Source - Display module
Action - Replace Display module.
{00111100}  Phase 4 to 5 - Motor Controller Fault.
On power up the Motor Controller has tested its ROM against a known reference and found differences.
Primary Source - Motor Controller
Action - Replace Motor Controller.
{00111101}  Phase 4 - Motor Controller Fault.
The Motor Controller has been attempting to perform an internal EEPROM write. Prior to writing the Motor Controller has tested the 15 Volt supply and found that it is below the safety level for writing EEPROM and has reported this to the display. This may be due to mains transients at the time of write or due to a faulty Motor Controller.
Primary Source - Motor Controller
Action - Replace Motor Controller.
{00111110}  Phase 5 - Pump Fault.
The Motor Controller has detected an excessive pump current.
Primary Source- Pump
Action - Replace Pump. NB. Just checking the resistance of the pump (approx. 33 ohms cold to 40 ohms hot) is NOT reliable as the pump inductance is also important.
Secondary Source - Motor Controller
Action - Replace Motor Controller.
{00111111}  Phase 5 – Motor Controller Fault.
The Motor Controller has detected an internal communications problem between its main control system and the pump control system.
Primary Source - Motor Controller
Action - Replace Motor Controller.
{01000000}  Phase 5 – Pressure Transducer Out of Range Error.
{01000001}  Phase 5 – Pressure Transducer Out of Range Error.
{01000010}  Phase 5 – Pressure Transducer Out of Range Error.
The Motor Controller has received signals from the Pressure Transducer outside normal values.
Primary Source - Motor Controller
Action - Replace Motor Controller.
{010xxxx}  Phase 2 to 3 - Display / Motor Controller Comms. Error.
