Fisher & Paykel Smart Drive 708

[Markaus]

Greetings from Down Under

I have a fisher & Paykel Smart Drive 708.

When I Turn it on it gives 3 beeps and the following lights are on
3rd light from left (group of 8 on top row)
Favourite, Water saver, Warm, High, Hold.

I don’t seem to be able to get into the error code function.

Please Help before I use a hammer to fix it.

Haven’t got a clue. Try using the sticky above to work out what’s going on.

Re: Fisher & Paykel Smart Drive 708

Thanks for your honesty Penguin45

Could I be in the programing mode for Favouite wash??
(I dont have the user guide anymore to see how to program)

After pushing lots of buttons it finally worked but only for 1 wash.
Now back to pushing lots of buttons to make it work again.
This time slowly.
Hope to report back which buttons make it work

Thanks Mark

Further to botton pushing episode.

If I push power or start/pause then the previously posted lights come on

If I push favourite then I get a different sound and is ready to wash, but when I them push the start/pause button to start washing then it turns off.

Hope this info helps

PS Haven’t got the hammer ready yet!

Found The Fault!!!

In the touch panel board behind the power switch there was some liquid that had corroded the power switch solder joints. (Dry joint)
Re-soldered the switch and
Hey presto it worked!

(The power switch did work. ???? But electronics is a fickle thing)

Thanks Penguin 45

Nice one! Good bit of deduction – certainly the symptoms were not logical.

Re: Fisher & Paykel Smart Drive 708

The buttons that will make it work are:-

press favorite
press advance 4 to 5 times

This will work 1 in 10 times

I can not get into fault code thing (your sticky post) to work

therfore I can’t give you the fault code

Thing is……… If you have to do a force to make it do anything, there may well be some sort of logic problem…….. in the board. Sorry.
