    hi,

    We have a F&P washer model # GW601-U which is not powering up at all. No lights or sound.

    My partner has taken apart the control panel and found a blown fuse, which we replaced, but the new one blew as soon as power got to it.

    Does our control panel need replacing, or is there some other explanation for the blown fuses?

    thank you

    Test the pump 33ohms
    Test the water Solenoids 15ohms
    Test the motor 12.2 ohms
    Test no short to earth
    If all are ok then a new control board is required
    Not an uncommon problem
    The fuse is only there to protect the electronics so when that blows the electronics is generally gone
    Always switch off when not in use to preserve electronics on appliances
    Always switch off prior to testing :zap: :zap: :zap:
