    Thanks for the reply. I was starting to get many more error codes which I wrote down as they came up. Contacted F&P and spoke to a helpful gentleman. Some of the codes were apparently non-existent. His conclusion; most likely a sick processor. Bit the bullet and replaced the motor controller. Machine is working fine now.

    Thank you for your reply Penguin45.
    Code 66 seems to be related to a water level sensing device located on the right-hand side of the PCB. This is connected to a plastic tube. When the water rises in the tub then so does the water in the tube, thereby increasing the air pressure in the rest of the tube. This pushes down on a rubber membrane inside the water level sensing device, which in turn is attached to a little magnet. The magnet goes down a coil thereby changing the electromagnetic field. The magnet is counterbalanced by a spring. I think the magnet was stuck in the down position. I have rectified this. Code 66 seems to have disappeared, however I am now stuck on a code 37. The machine keeps draining water where there is none. It may well be related. I might have “over rectified” the magnet. Any thoughts?
