WONT STOP – GW509NZ / series 9

[aadawson]

Hi guys, a strange one this – maybe? The machine functions fine(!), but gets to the end of the cycle and then perhasp 5-10 seconds later starts to fill with water again and keeps going from there!

When the machine is turned on, after being turned off at the wall, all the LEDs are flashing. I’ve tried going in and ensuring the serviceman re-cycle option is off, this hasn’t made a difference.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Not at all logical, aa. Things which are not logical on these machines generally point towards computer problems. Have you tried running the diagnostics? If there is an identifiable fault, you can find it that way.

Hold “Temp Down” and press “Power”, after the two beeps, toggle the “Spin” buttons until “Hold” and “Slow Spin” lamps are lit. If there is a fault, the wash board lamps will light. They indicate a binary code from right to left, ie 1+2+4+8 etc, add ’em up and let us know.

Thanks, no LEDs on or off when have spin and hold lite. But when the machine is turned on, the entire row of LEDs are flashing.

Does that help?

Thanks

You may be stuck in re-cycle mode – the programme will automatically restart.

Use diagnostics as above – after the 2 beeps, use “water Level up” button to select recycle off – the medium water level LED must be out to indicate off. For the machine to remember this setting, hold the “Advance” button down as you select witt the water level “Up” button.

Good luck,

Thanks so much Penguin45, Advance button thing seems to have done the trick, I’d done the other steps, bar that one – does that like save the settings or something? Now the last five odd LEDs flash, but the machine seems to go AND stop, so we’re stoked. Thanks so much.

Re: WONT STOP – GW509NZ / series 9

Ha – “restart” is off now – this allows the machine to self-diagnose and correct itself if neccessary when on, so……..

Use diagnostics again, after the 2 beeps, press “wash temp down”. This should reinstate restart and the wash panel lights should go out.

Sounds like you’ve got a small person about who likes pressing buttons 😀 .

Thanks again Penguin45, all the lights are off and wife reports machine doesnt keep going and going and going…. must have been me that messed up wth settings when I had my first crack at working on these things – after diagnosing an OOB issue.

Thanks again, wicked!
