Will report back what the problem was

Re: F&P SmartDrive 503

Many thanks. I guess I better swap the valves back then if they’re different!

Where are the inlet pipe filters? I was expecting a mesh filter or something on the end of the line but there doesn’t appear to be any. Maybe that’s part of the problem.

Thanks for your help!

Re: F&P SmartDrive 503

It’s one of the mysteries for me that it won’t go into diagnostic mode.

My suspicion is that it’s not getting enough water into at it times out or something as a result. It does fill but very slowly. Have pulled the hoses off and they seem to be clear.

If I fill it with the basin hose it will proceed on. It has the same problem when it gets to rinse cycle and will have a sad and start beeping.

I thought it might be the cold water solenoid (gold unit that hose goes into) so switched it with the hot which seemed to help slightly in terms of filling faster. It still comes to a beeping halt however.

Any help hugely appreciated!

Re: F&P SmartDrive 503

No problem:

When fast is lit I get 0010000

When hold/fast are lit I get 11000001

When fast/slow are lit I get 00000111

When fast/slow and hold are lit I get 11111111

When fast/med are lit I get 00000110

When fast/med/slow are lit I get 00101010

When fast/med/slow/hold are lit I get 00110010

All other combinations give no lights.

Make sense to anyone?

Thanks for your response!

I’ve repeatedly tried that and the variation where you don’t press advance. I still can’t get the double beep.

When ‘Hold’ and ‘Slow’ are lit none of the top line of lights are lit. Lights along the top do go on when other combinations such as fast/slow or fast/hold are lit though.
