F+P 051, Phase 1 Washing Machine Error

[deangc]

Hi there. First time on this forum. Seems to have some helpful information.

I tried to run a wash today on my F+P 051 and it starts filling with water, then stops for 5 seconds or so, then starts again, then stops, then starts, then stops.. eventually gives up and beeps constantly with the 3rd wash light illuminated. I’m guessing this is an error of some sort, but I have no manuals because I bought the machine second hand several months ago.

I then found this forum and decided to run the test that is on the sticky at the top of the forum.

The results are here:

I do fiddle with electronics on occasion and have repaired various other things like TVs, VCRs/DVDs and stereos although this is the first time I am going to attempt to fix a washing machine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Dean
