F&P GW709AU – When I lift the lid while spinning the 1.6A fuse on the motor controller board blows! 😡
BTW: All functions work and no errors up until this point.
Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Hi
Do not lift lid when machine is spinning.

Oh, you’re so funny Washman!……. NOT. :violent:

Moved to the Oz forum.
If the lid is opened during the spin sequence, there is a dynamic brake applied through the electronics to stop the drum within 10 seconds, the energy being dumped through the drain pump.
Start with the usual suspect – dodgy wiring in motor/pump circuits, especially where it turns under the drum.
Washman has a point though, why should you want to open the lid?

Aahhh! Penguin45 to the rescue again. Thanks mate. 🙂
Thanks for your explanation on the brake operation. I’ll check those things out.
In regard to why would I want to open the lid while spinning, there are a few reasons:-
– To check the proper functioning of the motor brake system – which is really a safety feature – particularly following replacement of modules, motor parts, pump, etc.
– When the load is out-of-balance (machine vibrating & banging) but not enough to trip the OOB switch.
– A variety of accidental things such as a blocked drain hose, drain hose fallen out of sink & flooding the floor, blocked laundry sink overflowing, etc.Regards. 😀
