Hi, I have an (old) Fisher and Paykel Smart drive GW700B. It is slow to fill, for both cold and hot water. The diagnostic LEDs read (right to left) 10100100 = 37, which from other posts indicates a faulty pump and this error code must relate to some previous condition of the washing machine, not the water filling.
I have checked the inlet hoses and flow, these are fine. The cold or hot water inlet valve on test results in a slow dribble.
I figure that I might as well replace the inlet solenoid valves. However, it is not clear to me how they pull out, since they are L-shaped and do not appear to be able to move clear of the back panel, to enable upward movement. I have undone the two retaining screws.
I am obviously missing something obvious. Is it necessary to somehow remove the control electronics?

Found that the top deck had to be lifted up (two screws at front) and
the deflector inlet unscrewed from below, to release the control model
and water inlet valve flange. Thanks, to who ever posted the FP-parts manual.
Thanks,
Steve.
