Sound like your lid Switch/ Reed Switch
Especially when machine doesnt stop when lid lifted
This Problem can be consistent with intermittently not working

Thank Bigsmokepiker for your help and input

The lid reed switch assembly was replaced on the 17/2/04 by a mechanic

I have metered the switch many times and has not failed yet

Can I temporally bypass the lid switch to rule out it as a problem??

The “brake ” problem has only happened once.

Having said that, the machine hasn’t failed for a while.

I can now get into the diagnostics:-

Proceed as per phase 1 + 2 machines, after the two beeps, do not press “Advance” – proceed to the “Spin” buttons.”

What do I do with the Spin buttons??

There are led’s lite on some positions in the spin buttons.

Which of the hold slow med fast and “combinations of” do you want?

Thanks again Mark

Hi Penguin45 and Bigsmokepiker

Machine still appears to be working find. Stops every time I open lid. Starts every time.

Not convinced that the problem is fixed.

Still not shore about diagnostics

When I select Hold “No lights”
When i select Slow “No lights”

But the next few selection Slow / Med I get lights

Re: Fisher & Paykel Smart Drive 708

I have the same machine and I can’t get the diagnostics instructions on this forum to work either.

The machine was making funny noises during the wash a couple of days ago. Now when I turn it on, all the usual lights come on for the “Normal” cycle, but when I press “Start” (the start button still goes “beep”), nothing happens. The machine doesn’t fill with water.

The other unusual thing is that when I turn the machine on, apart from all the usual lights coming on, the “Delicate” wash cycle light is faintly lit also. This didn’t happen when it was working properly. Weird, huh?

All the other buttons seem to beep and light up when I press them, no problem there. Just can’t get it to start!
