GW708F Automatic Washing Machine Error Code 1011

[twopies]

Hi there would appreciate help on this one.
Initially just stopped after filling with normal display full cycle remaining.
Cycled power, attempts to fills with random intermittent solenoid action.
Then stops with error code 1011.
All looks okay, will show same fault if advanced through to spin.
Bowl is full of water and dirty laundry!

Have pulled apart nothing obvious, put back together no joy.

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

HI

Just put this thing back together again after checking hot & cold solenoids and drain pump which are all good, blew down the pressure pipe, all clear.
Machine started fine on cold wash, auto level, high spin speed. Filled fine, washed full cycle, moved to rinse and drained, refilled and agitated for couple of minutes then stopped with both rinse lights and spin light remaining in cycle. No indications that there is anything wrong except that is not continuing cycle. Can advance cycle but still no go.

In diagnostics mode, upon entering I only get a single beep now with low water level light on and code 1010. scroll with spin speed to low water level and hold on and code 1001 is displayed. Scroll to low water level and hold and slow on and code 1011 is displayed, so I guess that this 1011 is the actual fault code? What does this mean?

Solenoids and pump still check fine.
❓ ❓ Help, its days before xmas and I cant get a serviceman, I am a sparky, industrial electronics tech, avionics engineer, and telecommunication network engineer, so I can do the work, I just need the tech info.

This is a great forum and help is much appreciated.

Okay from what I have read the 1011 code appears to mean that there is a pressure sensor (water level) fault. This must be intermittent as it filled on auto when I put back together washed then filled for rinse. Just drained manually in diagnostics mode, reset and tried again, now wont do anything just sits with full cycle progress to go displayed. Waiting for a fault code to appear but not doing it….. 😯 Diagnostics shows 1011 code again.
I am picking intermittent pressure transducer, anyone agree? I think I will rework the solder joints tomorrow night and see how it runs.

Any other ideas or help or encouragement much appreciated.

I don’t want this to beat me, and I need clean clothes to go on holiday! 😳

Re: GW708F Automatic Washing Machine Error Code 1011

Fault code 11 – pressure sensor failure. This is the air operated water level switch, which is integral with the motor controller board. Check that air hose is not trapped or kinked, beyond that you’re looking at a replacement board.

You should be able to run the drain pump from diagnostics to empty the machine.
