F&P 703 stops & starts on refill. Code 136?

[webarkitex]

HI
Machine stops & starts on fill.
If I change the water level it starts to fill again but stops after a while with long wash & rinse lights on and continous beeping.
When I try to run error code check does not beep, but lights long wash & rinse lights. ie 10000100.
I thinks this equates to error code 136.
Any clues please?
Thanks in advance
Mac

fault code 136 suggests motor stall -Motor controller has been unble to start motor
Possible causes
Faulty motor controller
Faulty Rotor position sensor(RPS)
Seized bearings & seals
First thing to check would be any signs of water leaks under washer near the motor area
What can happen is seal gives way & leaks onto Rotor positon sensor(which is housed in the motor)RPS Connections corrode & commonly give this error
IF you have noticed any bearing failure type noises then i would suggest this could be the case

Hi
No signs of rust or corrosion.
What does the RPS look like? – all I can see are the motor and what I presume is the water pump motor, but all looks pretty clean, except for a huge red back! (now deceased – I’m not Buddhist)
Also was not making any unusual noises prior to stopping.
thanks

Did you ever receive a response to your question re what the RPS looks like or how to get to it? I can reach it I think but cannot view it no matter how many pieces I remove.

Take rotor off. You can’t miss it then.
