fisher & paykel 701 fault code 10000011

[cooka]

Smart Drive washer – when starting cycle admits a short burst of water, stops, short burst of water, stops, … then beeps and stops completely.

Diagnostic mode gives 10000011 (left to right) – 131 ?

I’ve fiddled with the out-of-balance switch and it doesn’t seem to be that.

Rotor position sensor (RPS) problem, down in the motor. Often caused by bad wiring/connections or dampness. RPS itself can be faulty. Occasionally the motor board itself can be faulty.

Thanks Penguin, I’ve pulled it all apart. The wiring to the sensor checks ok with a multimeter.
Can I tell if its the sensor that needs replacing before I buy another one ? Its not obviously cracked or burnt.

Hard one to answer – the F&P guys have an “RPS tester” – what it is and how it works, nobody knows……… Did you get continuity from the computer board end of the loom?

The sensor is p/no 425221P if you want to check out prices.

Thanks again Penguin45 !
I ordered the part and they sent me a 420296P, instead of 425221P. It physically fits and machine seems to work correctly. Is there any possible downside ?

Probably a parts supercession – “continuous updates” etc from F+P…… If it’s all working, leave it alone………… 😀
