Thanks for such a useful site! By looking at the entries here I worked out I had an intermittent code 43. Anyone with this problem is well advised to take out the grey controller module and check the condition of the OOB microswitch underneath. Mine was heavily corroded – no doubt due to a leaking solenoid problem I had about a year ago which flooded and killed the controller. Replacing the switch fixed the problem and the good news is that you can fit a generic SPDT microswitch (eg DSE cat #P7800) with minor mods that sells for about A$4.00 (ie:~ 1/10th the price quoted by my local F&P agent for a “genuine” switch).
