Re: GW503 beeping 7 filling stops 🙁

Thanks Penguin45.

Where would I find the bias spring to check it?

Cheers,

Hi Penguin45.

All fixed 🙂

Replaced the cold water proportional valve NZ$10 and the inflow rate dramatically increased. The machine is now running without error.

I now have a 500B model washer that has a different fault.

Fills fine, washes fine, pumps out good and starts to spin then shuts down and beeps 🙁

Can you comment on how the machine detects balance?

After restarting the machine is refills washes empties and spins again in a never ending cycle as though it is trying each time to correct an out of balance problem.

Thanks for your continued great advice.

Rick.

Thanks again Penguin45.

When I ran through the diagnostics there was no “two beeps” and none of the 8 LED’s illuminated.

Power and down temp together. Top panel LED’s all light up then go out. press spin buttons till hold and slow led’s on.

At this point none of the 8 led’s are on.

Please correct me if this is not the correct procedure for my gw503.

Cheers, Rick.

Update.

Water flows into machine and has plenty of cold water pressure.

Can the cold water valve go slow … ie not fully open and be cause of restricted water entry into the machine?

What voltage is the cold water valve so I can remove and bench test its function?

Is there any chance of a blockage after the valve causing the same slow fill?

I expect the machine has a timer for each fill level and the musical tones are just an indication that filling took too long.

Answers to the above questions should clarify my next move.

Thanks,

Rick.

Thanks Penguin45.

Getting water into the machine is the main issue as you noted.

If I fill by bucket things go a bit better and set to warm wash (ie hot and cold running) the error occurs less times. The error returns at progress LED 7 just before the last spin.

Have very good water pressure normally so will check what flow coming from the machine hoses in case filters have become blocked. I am an electrician by trade …. but not a washing machine serviceman except for my own machines 🙂

Will let you know if things improve.

Cheers, Rick.
