Thanks for the excellent rundown on getting at the error code.
A previous poster seems to have had the same code but interpreted it as “50”. The way I add it up is
0+0+4+8+0+0+64+0 = 76 (maybe I got it wrong ?)What happened: Machine started to fill as normal, then the barrel went dead (normally spins slowly while filling), and the hot water solenoid opened up full, cold went off. Even when the power button was off, the hot water kept filling. It stops when the power to the machine is unplugged.
Sounds like a very dead power circuit 😕 What do you think?

Fault Code 50
00110010 (0/0/32/16/0/0/2/0)Fault code relates to faulty hot inlet valve
(by your post Inlet valve diaphram staying open)
Would suggest chaning hot valve Part # 426142p $25.00AUDRe: Fisher Paykel 703 error code 00110010

Suggests constant supply to valve? Triac failure on control board perhaps? Mechanical failure of valve would require water to be turned off, rather than power, surely……..

I called F&P today and they reckon that the code means “50” (I must be failing binary maths). And they confirm – hot water solenoid circuit fault. I wish it was as simple as replacing the solenoid (which I’ve done before for a different fault – cheap fix).
As Penguin45 wrote, the power supply to the solenoid is constant whenever power is applied to the machine. Disconnecting the leads to the solenoid also shuts it off. So it looks like a fried circuit in the “dumb” part of the electronics. A triac? Possibly. Quite a disturbing fault if you think about it – just pop the valve open and keep on filling.
What I don’t get is that all of the other mechanical functions are dead – or is that some sort of shut-down reaction to the fault by the “smart” parts?
F&P’s technician will come and see it tomorrow – doesn’t look like it’s going to be cheap though.
Thanks for the help.

Re: Fisher Paykel 703 error code 00110010
The binary business is confusing…… The code on the panel reads right to left – F&P tech interprets it left to right :rolls: .
Good luck with it – let us know how it pans out.

Sound like Motor Controller
My Apologies i didnt read post correctly

Update: Service tech came out today. Pressed the same buttons, got the same code. Checked solenoids (didn’t listen to me describe the symptoms) and pronounced them OK. Fiddled around a while and said “oh dear”.
Verdict: main power board stuffed. Possibly $350 to $400 to fix/replace with no guarantee that there isn’t something else likely to pack in.
Supplementary info: major chain store having a 20{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} off sale and F&P offering a loyalty bonus to F&P owners who buy another one.
Action: Buy a new machine with more features and a 2 year warranty for less than double the repair cost.
Thanks for lending an ear.
Anyone in Perth want a dead washing machine? Or I might salvage the pumps and solenoids for my all-grain brewing rig!
