    I have a Smartdrive 015 that only works on cold wash, when its on hot the water just trickles out. I have held down start and pressed power and the lights that come up are the high and low water level lights,press advance and the rinse light comes up. If i press the water temp down button while in diagnostic mode, cold water flows out, but if the water temp up button is pressed the hot water still trickles out.
    Can any one tell me what the problem may be.

    Check that you are getting 12v to valve. If yes, valve is goosed. If no, you have a supply problem on the motor controller board.

    Thanks Penguin, It has 12v at both the hot and cold solenoids, so the board must be the problem. It was like it when i purchased it second hand and i only did cold wash anyway. I was going to sell it ’cause im moving, might just sell it as is.

    Cheers

    No! If you’re getting 12v at the hot valve, it’s the valve itself that’s faulty – not fully opening.
