Can anyone please advise on F&P GW709AU washer.

[BERNIEC]

I live in rural western australia and the nearest tech is many hundreds of kilometres away.
My washer will do nothing but beep at me. Cannot turn it off at the machine,and the following lights are on and i hope might be some sort of error code.

off on on off on off off off

Any imfomation would be much appreciated
thanks, bernie.

Certainly looks like an error code, Bernie – 105. This is defined as a communication error between the display board and the motor controller board. Yours is a phase 5 machine, so, strangely enough, the first place to check is the drain pump! You should get 33 ohms through it with the wiring disconnected. Any less and it must be replaced. The rotor position sensor can also generate this fault code. It suffers from dampness, corrosion and dodgy wiring.

If neither of the above solves it, F+P advise substituting the display board, the motor controller board or both until it works! An expensive way to solve the problem…….

Stay safe, pull the plug.
