    I have a Fisher & Paykel GW501 Smart Drive washing machine.
    When I turn the machine on and press the start button it doesn’t fill with any water, the taps are turned on but nothing happens.
    After a short time it beeps and the code 00010000 light are displayed.

    In the diagnostic mode the lights displayed are:

    10000011

    Any help would be greatly apreasheated. 😀

    Fault Code 131
    Rotor Position Sensor (RPS)Error Firstly check under washer for any signs of leaking .Check connections to RPS Sensor (Sensor Is located Under bowl In Motor Area )
    RPS sensor connections commonly corrode & can Cause displayed fault
    If You do See Signs of leaking water in this area it will probably be due to failed main seal .Water leaks onto RPS >
    The motor controller (PCB ) can also be at fault for this Code To be displayed

    I installed another (untested PCB) and got fault code 00001001.
    Fault Code 9.
    What does fault code 9 mean?
    Does this shed any more light on what is wrong with my washing machine ❓

    Size Switch Error
    When PCB Is Exchanged you have code in Size of Washer
    Have To enter Option Mode
    Power off at Console
    Press & hold Start/Pause Press Power. Power OF Again to Store
    To check size setting use Diagnostic Mode
    IE Press & hold Washtempdown & power
    If Short Wash LED on Size Is not set
    If Rinse LED IS On Size is Set For 5/5.5 KG (In your case)

    When I enter Option Mode, which lights should be displayed ❓
    At the moment the machine displays the follow lights.

    Long wash
    Wash and Soak
    Wash temp : Warm
    Spin speed : Med

    The machine does nothing and still displays fault code 9 in Diagnostic Mode.
