Re: F & P MW051-U Possible Lid switch problem
OK
As a last resort I just short circuited the lid switch and hey presto!
The thing’s worked for years regardless of the lid being open or shut, but apparently not now. Doesn’t explain the code though??
It’s a shame they’re not more reliable because when they run they do a great job.00110010

Re: F & P MW051-U Possible Lid switch problem
Hi
I’ve got a 708 smartdrive and today it has displayed exactly the same symptoms. A diagnostic check showed code 50. both valves show 15ohms and seem to work fine in diagnostic mode. I looked at the circuit board and couldn’t find any probs ( I’m no expert but resistors all seemed OK).
I checked the OOB switch and even tried short circuiting it but still no go.I’ve had the circuit board replaced twice (once under warranty). The third time it broke down it had the same problem as the last time when F&P told me it was the board and it cost nearly $300 including parts and service fee. I found this site and bugger me but after searching around I worked out it was just the level sensor and after a quick blow of air it was as good as gold again.
I won’t be calling on them again!
Any ideas because if it’s the board I think the F&P’s days are up.
Cheers 😕
