    Ok, replaced RPS, currently looking to source that RPG as it still not happening.. 😥

    After having installed the RPS, I checked the resistance over the 3 phases, got back around 13 ohms each after locating a short prob (1.2 ohms) across 2 of them… all ok, tested resistance at board before firing up. Checked lid and OOB switches, even shorted them to remove them from the equation…

    It did some different things to before, then I got back fault code (L to R) 10001000, 136 motor stall? Agitator spins no prob, is this a case of sending the motor control module back to the rebuilder with nasty words or have I missed something? Not happy, Jan! (Aussie joke)

    Please help, the wifey is losing confidence in my superhero fixing anything ability…

    Cheers

    Hi all, great site, have learned buckets about the Fizzle & Pop GW708 in the laundry…

    Same story, motor control board was fried, got that fixed and now it powers up, the solenoids open for about half a second when the whole shebang shuts down. Fires up about 5 seconds later and repeats the whole thing 😥


    Have been duly informed after being able to download the technical manual, that the likely culprit is the RPS… needs an RPG more like…
    Since having pulled it all off the bottom, the RPS looks ok, with the exception of a few black marks on the PCB tracks, is this the “flashover” from the RPS to the stator that I should be looking for?


    The other possible problem is the plastic stator itself has two small cracks in it, on opposite sides, is this likely to cause a drama and should I just revert back to the Rocket Powered Grenade?


    Cheers
