Fisher & Paykel GW612 beeps before spin.

I suspect I have an error code 42 (not the meaning of life).

The control panel has a group of 5 wash lights and three spin lights.

The pattern is 0x000 0x0 (Where x is on).

The machine got to this point and stopped - switching power off for a while does nothing - when powered on it just goes into the beep cycle. Pushing any button silences the beep but that is all. Tried to hold power down for > 60 seconds but this did not fix it.

If I push the pause button the lights go out - and the lid locked light comes on - but no lid lock noise.

I have a feeling it may be the lid solenoid but can anyone advise?

Stan

You have fault code 66 (01000010) Phase 6- Pressure Transducer (Ptx) Error - Frequency >90kHZ. In simple terms you need to replace the main "Motor Control Module" Cheers

Kate - firstly the windings of the stator when measured is 32 Ohms, earlier models was a lot lower between B-Y-R.

The washer will pump - rest pump (Cycles) during the spin cycle, if however it overheats then water will not be fully pumped out. A possibilty is the hose into the drain or sink is too high, or blocked somewhere.

In most cases the washer will indicate an error code.

The LEDS 1st & 4th from the right im assumming 10010000 = Fault code 144 - either you have a loose connection under the display/push buttons panel or you have a faulty motor control module

Hi just read your posting.Starting from the left to right if the lights that are on when the machine is beeping are the 3rd and 4th and 8th then the error code is called COLD VALVE FAULTY.This means either your cold water valve is faulty or you control module is faulty.Would you like me to guide you in the testing and isolating the fault and replacing the faulty component?Please reply for further help.Looking forward to your reply.

Check the pipes actually work first. Is there a hidden drain filter that is partially blocked? Dissasemble the pump and check it works and the blades inside are clean.
