Re: Fisher & Paykel gw712 won’t spin & no lid lock b

Well, the problem is now fixed and the machine is back to normal.

There is no switch involved in the lid lock mechanism, just a solenoid, which was seized and is now freed up and lubricated.

The control board must sense the current through the solenoid to determine if it has engaged or not, in order to tell if the lid is closed.

Hope someone else finds this useful.

Cheers,

I think I’ve answered my own question!!

The machine is simply behaving as if the lid is open.

I hear a switch operating when the lid is opened or closed but the resistance of the solenoid circuit doesn’t change.

I’m guessing that theres a switch under there, in series with the solenoid which has gone faulty or been bridged.

Will check it out tomorrow and report back.

Cheers,

Bob
