Folks,
Like MarkTC44, I have a Fisher & Paykell ‘excelence’ washing machine, model Nbr GW509AU , which is beeping. It displays a series of LEDs on in the wash progress bar, but they don’t mean anything to me. Can anyone help me with a diagnostic tool?
Regards, DaveRe: Fisher & Paykell error codes?
Turn machine OFF on the front panel. Hold down the Water Temp Down button and press the POWER button. Release buttons. You are in Diagnostic mode. Press the spin speed up button until the hold and slow are lit. Write down the LEDS which are lit across the top row of progress LEDS. 😀

OK, thanks, my diagnostic info is this:
Fisher & Paykel “excelence” model, model nbr GW509AU, S/N NYL609882.the diagnostic data is this:
0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0001 _ these two alternate once a second
0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0001 /
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0010
0 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 0011 <- these are the fast, med,slow & hold LEDs

This relates to an Out Of Balance switch fault. A smart drive will do this if the out of balance switch is stuck on. To check the oob switch,reach into the back rh cnr between the bowl and the top,there will be a lever , move it towards the back then the front a couple of times and you should hear a faint clicking , if not, then the switch will be corroded, jammed, and needs to be replaced, In fact , even if a click is heard the switch could work intermittantly, or not work the same way. Pn 420313 for a kit including bracket. To replace, turn off and remove the plug from the wall (the simplest things are usually the most important) remove the top console and controller, and replace.
Good luck! 😉 and let us know how you get on.Re: Fisher & Paykell error codes?
Kiwi, you are right on the money. That OOB switch checks out as open circuit on the multimeter, even when the lever is moved back and fourth.
Thanks a million!
