    Hi folks, this may have something to do with the post I posted a while ago now. The previous prob, I was advised to replace part #426143 (cold water fill valve or something). I havent replaced it YET. As it kept on beeping when it was ready to fill / rinse.

    I’ve just done the error check again (I think I did it wrong previously) for this model (hold temp down, press power, wait for 2 beeps, then toggle spin till spin + hold are lit). The long wash and rinse LED’s lights up. So, how do you read that (is it 4+128)??

    Since the rinse is the 3rd LED from the right, and long wash is the 8th?

    Would the cold fill valve still be the prob (since it not only beeps now, it also turns / shuts down when its ready to rinse (3rd to last cycle)??

    Any info appreciated

    Thanks

    132 is a current trip code – excess current detected by the motor controller board. Prime suspect is the motor wiring – check wiring, RPS, star point for dampness, chaffing and water damage. Check also the motor controller has not got wet.

    Ouch, that sounds serious ! Umm what would be the easiest way to do that Penguin?? What would you suggest I check out first?

    Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. Is the motor controller board under / around the drum, I take it? Or is it the board under the panel?
