Smart Drive 603 won’t start

[admin]

Hi,

I have a Fisher and Paykel Kelvinator SmartDrive 603 washing machine, and it has stopped working properly.

Initially this happened intermittantly, but now it happens 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of the time.

When the start button is pressed nothing happens (it toggles from running and pause mode – from the LED indicators) but nothing actually happens within the washing machine itself.

Everything used to work fine, and I was thinking it was probably just a dodgy connection or loose wire or something, but have not been able to find this if it is the case.

Basically I just wan’t to findout if this is something I can repair fairly easily myself, or wether its worth getting in some one to look at it / replace it, or juts buy a new second hand washing machine.

I put the machine into binary readout mode and get the following values:

Spin Speed            Led Values (Reading RHS as LSB - Dec)

(Top - Bottom)          (L-R)

1111                      00110111    (55)

1110                      00101010    (42)

1101                      00000000    (0)

Any help is appreciated.
