Hi I’ve got a MW059AU which is failing to fill and after a couple of minutes flashes 00110010 on the leds. I think the problem started when the lid was opened while the water was filling.
Doing a search of the forum would indicate a hot water solenoid but putting a multimeter over it and it seems to be OK.
I’ve switched the leads to the hot/cold without any change. I’ve also tried with the leads disconnected and the same error comes up.
In diagnostic mode there is no voltage to the solenoids when manually pressing the wash temp up/down.
The only other thing that it does that seems odd is that in diagnostic mode when pressing the regular button the pump runs for a couple of seconds and then cuts out but the led on the button remains lit.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks, David.

Technically, it’s a hot valve fault, but – if the pump goes out of circuit, you’ll get no fill. It sounds like you’re getting an instant trip from the pump TOC. If you check, you probably find that it’s been leaking or getting wet for some time. Be careful, the pump is permanently live unless the machine is unplugged.
Valves should give you 64ohms and the pump 33ohms.

I’ll have a look at the pump.

Penguin45.i”ve found the problem. It wasn’t the valve itself but it was in the valve circuit. I think when the lid was opened it caused a voltage spike which blew apart a resistor on the control board. There was a small resistor near the hot and cold water leads that was an open ciruit when I put the multimeter over it. (power was disconnected).
Replacing the resistor with a similar value and it all seems to be going again.
Suspect the fault in the electronics was causing the odd pump behaviour.
Thanks for you assistance Penguin45. Always a lot easier when you know what the values should be. Your contributions here are excellent.

Hi David75.
I have exactly the same problem. It first occurred in the middle of the night, with the washing machine turned off, but the door left open. Finding this thread, I was convinced enough this matched your situation, so I checked the control board and found a small resistor blown (labelled as R844 on the circ. bd).As it was blown, it was a little hard to read, but I thought it was brown, black, brown (100ohms I think). I have replaced it with a new 100ohms and following reassembly, plugging in and turning on, the resistor really blew this time.
Have you had any further issues and if not, can you recall the resistor value. Any other suggestions welcome.
Thanks, mkjosel.
Re: Fisher & Paykel MW059AU – 00110010 error code
I had a power surge just recently that has blown parts on the main board. When I first inspected it, the fuse F102 and F124 was blown. After replacing them with the only fuses I could find (fast and slow blow glass fuse) and turning the power on, the fuse F102 blew.
Just recently I had a look at the resistor 101 and noticed a sizable chunk had been blown off it and is now short circuiting.
Can anyone tell me what the resistor value is as it doesn’t say on the board or anywhere I have checked on the net, and also if it is alright to use fast/slow blow fuses on the board.
