Haier washing machine – HW100-B14636 – FA error message

[twicknix]

I tried to fix this machine on the assumption from google searches that FA error message indicates problem with the pressure switch. I blew down the tube to clear whatever in it, no resistance in it before or after so no issue with the tube. I replaced the pressure switch, still throws up FA message on main wash at 33 minutes. During the test I used quick wash, nothing untoward on the program as it was filling, washes, drain, filling, rinse then spin.

Any thoughts?

Thanks Dave

I’m trying to get my head around this. Obviously I need to spend some time on the machine which will be a challenge in an area of no mobile reception. Will print it out and tick my way through.

Turns out that it is the wiring harness due to massive differences on resistance on one particular line from the control fascia to the main pcb. Two lines out of three showed minimal resistance and one showed a big one of 30 ohms. I expected all to be similar hence the diagnosis. Thank you Dave for the info.

Have ordered replacement harness and will update in due time.

Further update…. It was a very long protracted affair on getting replacement harness, the passage of time meant the customer gave up waiting. I ordered the harness as I was given the impression that it wouldn’t take long for it to arrive instead it took two months. The customer cancelled the job and I am left with the harness that I cannot return. Do you know anyone who might be interested if one is willing to make an offer? It costed me around £45.
