F&P AW095 Error 00110001 49 cold inlet but is motor boar

[thedime]

Hi I have a Fisher and Paykel AW095au it has developed fault code 49 (cold inlet). I have seen mention on here that sometimes if this happens then sometimes it takes out the motor board as well. I have checked the ohms of cold inlet and its dead, hot inlet is 64. Checked the pump and it was about 35. I put the cold water tap connection on to the hot inlet and can start a wash cycle by picking hot only water temp. If fills no problem. It advances through until the first rinse light, the machine drains all the water out no problem, then begins to spin up, but no rinse water comes out, I am guessing that maybe cold water only inlet is used to rinse? Then the spin speeds up a little then eventually stops, and it repeats this, pump spin, faster spin, left alone it did this for 10 mins +. I then advance it one more step to the second rinse cycle, it appeared to do the same symptoms for a little while then errored with 00110001 (49). I can skip to the rinse cycles and goto the spin cycle and it finishes ok as if whole cycles is finished. So I just am not sure If replacing the cold valve will fix this issue where it won’t advance the first rinse cycle or whether i may need a new board as well, in which case I would probably go for a new machine.

All rinses are cold fill only. Defo worth throwing a cold water valve at it – p/no 426560 – as they are pretty reasonably priced.

Haven’t heard of a solenoid failure causing board failure (unless it’s actually exploded), so I’d go for it.

Great News, I replaced the cold inlet and its all working again.

The controller must sense the no water was added on the first rinse cycle so it would just keep repeating that and not advance. (when the cold inlet was dead)

But all ok now with new valve, the replacement was slightly different to the old one, the power Connector was 90 degrees straight out instead of from underneath like the old one, and it had a different PN, FP420148, the parts store said that the original part was super seeded.

Thanks Penguin45! the forum was a great help.
