    Hopefully someone can save my sanity.

    My 503 is doing the same thing as outlined here https://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/modules. … ic&t=32987

    It started doing it out of the blue so seems strange it would be a pipe issue. It starts beeping and the water level ‘high’ and ‘low’ lights start flashing.

    I’ve tried to get it into diagnosis mode but I can’t get the double beep.

    Any help would be hugely appreciated!

    Lets Start from the top
    Turn off Power (even Pull Plug)
    Plug Back In & Run Diagnostics
    IE PRESS & HOLD WashTemp Down & Power On
    Press Advance Button ONCE
    Press Spin Speed UP Button until HOLD & SLOW are LIT
    This should Get the last Fault Code
    Post Which Lights are Lit ETC

    Thanks for your response!

    I’ve repeatedly tried that and the variation where you don’t press advance. I still can’t get the double beep.

    When ‘Hold’ and ‘Slow’ are lit none of the top line of lights are lit. Lights along the top do go on when other combinations such as fast/slow or fast/hold are lit though.

    No problem:

    When fast is lit I get 0010000

    When hold/fast are lit I get 11000001

    When fast/slow are lit I get 00000111

    When fast/slow and hold are lit I get 11111111

    When fast/med are lit I get 00000110

    When fast/med/slow are lit I get 00101010

    When fast/med/slow/hold are lit I get 00110010

    All other combinations give no lights.

    Make sense to anyone?

    Is the machine letting in water?
    If So How fast is the Water coming in
    Is both hot & cold coming in ?
    What stage of the cycle is the machine faulting ?

    It’s one of the mysteries for me that it won’t go into diagnostic mode.

    My suspicion is that it’s not getting enough water into at it times out or something as a result. It does fill but very slowly. Have pulled the hoses off and they seem to be clear.

    If I fill it with the basin hose it will proceed on. It has the same problem when it gets to rinse cycle and will have a sad and start beeping.

    I thought it might be the cold water solenoid (gold unit that hose goes into) so switched it with the hot which seemed to help slightly in terms of filling faster. It still comes to a beeping halt however.

    Any help hugely appreciated!

    Water valve fault was what I was leaning to
    Cold & hot valves are Different
    Cold is Part # 426143 Its A proportional valve About $45 AUD
    Hot is 426122 $30.00 AUD

    Slow filling is quite a common fault relating back to water valve fault
    Also Check inlet hose filters are not blocked

    Many thanks. I guess I better swap the valves back then if they’re different!

    Where are the inlet pipe filters? I was expecting a mesh filter or something on the end of the line but there doesn’t appear to be any. Maybe that’s part of the problem.

    Thanks for your help!

    Filters At Tap End of Hose
    Just a washer with filter to Stop Any grit etc getting into water valve
    Valve has a Filter as well
    Filters important to have if on tank water
