Re: F&P Smart Drive 501 Attempts to Start and Fails / Be

Thanks Penguin45 !

You were right. The OOB micro switch was stuffed and the crimp connectors were badly corroded.

I replaced the switch and cut / re-crimped on new connectors and put everything back together ( after a good clean, etc ).

It is working again !

One question – My partner ( who bought the Washing Machine some years ago ) said that it used to fill, with water, much quicker and that a load would take around 45 minutes. Ever since I have been here it fills very slowly and a load takes around 90 minutes. Is there anything that I can check ? I believe that I read ( in another post ) that the solenoid valves are not ordinary Open / Closed valves, could the valve be part of the problem ?

Again thanks for your earlier help !

Cheers, JonP, 🙂
