F&P 051 error code 00101011

[Luke901]

Hi, any help appreciated here please.
My 051 just got about 20{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} through it’s cycle then started beeping at me when it was starting to spin/end of draining.
When I turn it off and try to start up again the hot water clicks in then out a second or so later, does this a few times then the machine starts beeping again.
I’ve checked through a bunch of posts but havent found the same problem. The error code is as above (thanks for the instructions on how to find it).
thanks in advance.

Out of Balance activated.

1/ Check machine is reasonably level.
2/ Check Bias spring is attached between drum and casing.
3/ Check suspension rods are connected and allowing drum to sit square.
4/ Out of Balance switch itself. Check lever is free to move, check function of switch, check condition of switch and wiring. If it’s all rusty, you need to replace it.
5/ Possible that the control board is at fault, but that would be unusual.

Thanks a lot. Took a bit to work out what you were talking about with all the component names but once I had the top off it was pretty self explanatory.

Ended up taking the console off and found that the OOB switch had gummed up and wasnt releasing. Looked like calcium or scum or something. Once it freed up I gave it a quick squirt of WDF which I assume shouldnt hurt it.

Works fine now. Thanks again.
