    Hi
    I need some advice on how to program a new Controller board for insertion into my MW511.
    This is the part number.
    Product Code: 420690NZP
    Description: CONTRL CTR SD12 230V NZ/AUS SERIES 12 GW/MW ONLY

    Back story:
    Washer having occasional problems – not addressed. then it fails.
    When powered on at wall beeps incessantly and displays lights:
    00110001 which thanks to Penguin45 on this forum i could see was code 49 – cold water solenoid failure. opened it up sure enough the solenoid is corroded and doesn’t function when I hook it up to a power source to test it.
    I replace it with genuine F&P part – I’ve tested it, and the hot – both work fine.
    When it is powered on the same beep and display.
    I conclude the controller board is fried – I then proceed to poke it and the component directly connected to the cold water plug is brittle and broke easily. 😳 – not the best course of action I know, but too late now.

    As for the warranty the machine is out of manufactures, and we don’t have proof of purchase anymore, and I don’t think poking is covered by warranty.

    I’m in NZ so parts are pretty cheap here – I have a new controller board arriving form F&P soon, they said I would need to get it programmed for my machine. – MW511 5.5kg
    Questions:
    Is this the size setting process?
    If not how would you describe the process?
    What is the procedure for doing this programing?

    as an aside
    F&P have a good reputation here – I’ve had F&P appliances across the board my whole life, parents did too, But last year the fridge I bought at the same time as this washer died. Two appliances failing within 3-4 years of purchase is a bit rubbish.

    Thanks in advance
    William

    Programming is for Size Setting
    There should be instuctions with new Controller
    But if not
    Press & hold Temp up Button then press power button
    Press wash temp up button until cold LED is on
    Press power to lock in & exit mode
