    Hi There,

    I have a Fisher and Paykel Smartdrive 9 (Pride 5.5) which has just started to play up. It won’t spin, you can hear a “clunk….clunk” like it’s trying to spin but there is no movement. It does agitate however. It’s also having problems draining. Sounds to me I might have a motor problem (or clutch if it has one).

    I’ve put it in diagnotic mode, selected slow and hold and get the following lights.

    OFF, OFF, ON, OFF, OFF, ON, OFF, ON

    What does this translate to? Besides broken.. I only know how to get into diag mode, not what the responses mean.

    Thanks.

    Hey there! 🙂

    Thought I’d visit the two best places and see what happens!

    To all, Kiwi was nice enough to tell me what this means and he was {e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}100 correct. Thanks to him it’s all up and running again… He da man!

    Its awl good, ma brutha, its awwwl good 8)

    Here are some writings for the uninformed:
    Turn off power at wall. Remove the inspection hatch on the front rh cnr ( if the W/M has one, if not, just tilt the W/M back ), shine a torch in and give the small propellor on the bottom of the drain pump a couple of turns, if it at first feels tight, keep turning until it feels free, then advance to spin and start.

    If this doesn’t work, undo the 2 screws at the front of the top( under the little covers) tilt the top back being careful with the inlet hoses, having previously removed the agitator. Then unclip the plastic ring around the top and hang it to the side or disconnect spring( remember to refit spring ) from suspension. Then in one swift upward movement (not too swift) remove the inner bowl, and then you will see the pump cover. Remove the screw clamping it down and remove cap and base, now get your hand in and feel around the impellor on the top of the pump , and remove any foreign matter. Try propellor on bottom of pump to check if it is free before reassembling.

    Read instructions backwards to refit Hope this helps. 😆
