Re: Fisher & Paykel gw708 motor problem ?

Thanks guys for all the help.

I have included the solution I got from the parts supplierWhich did the trick and thought you could pass it on to other users who have the same prob.

THEY SAID…………….
“Check to see that the bowl is not stuck on the shaft.
If it is not free to lift up and down and turn freely on the shaft when it is lifted up, then you will have an agitation problem.

The error 9 is a size error.
While it is usually due to the size not being programmed correctly, it can also be due to a fault in the display module size switches.

The following is an extract from the manual.

(00001001) Phase 1 to 5 – Size Error

Phase 1 to 3

Primary Source – Display Module

Action – The Display Module has not been correctly located in the console. This will not activate the size switches. Or the size switch may have been affected by condensation.

If the Display module has just been inserted into a console housing check that the two size switch plungers accurately locate onto the console housing. If this fault has appeared during normal operation of Smartdrive check the size switch or replace the Display module.

If the Motor Controller has been changed from one size machine, to another then the size switch settings in the memory will have to be reset. Entering and exiting the Option Adjustment mode can do this. Push and hold START/PAUSE then push POWER button to enter Option Adjustment Mode. This sets the size into EEPROM.

Thanks Penguin for your reply.
Have checked the size with Diag. Mode level 4 and all is as it should be.
Diag. Mode level 3 still tells me I have a 9 error and when I power off I get all the wash lights now staying on( flashing ) and only way to stop them is to unplug.
The functions all work but as I stated in earlier post it seems to be the agitator action that is suffering

Help 🙁
