    Hi just read your 2nd posting and the information from it indicates your machine has a faulty cold or hot water valve.Now have you or can you borrow an electrical test meter to test the OHMS RESISTANCE of the valves to determine which one is faulty?Please reply with additional information and I can guide you step by step in the testing of the valves.

    Hi just read you last posting.Do you need help to replace the hot water valve?Please reply and if you do then I can guide you throe the repair step by step.1st thing, ring your local Fisher and Paykel spare parts distributor and find out if they have a water valve for your model of machine.Looking forward to your reply.

    turns out it wasnt the water valves. It was the control panel. needed a new control panel due to water damage.

  • luisa_sgro Aug 04, 2010

    Hi just read your last posting.Now just a thought where did the water come from to damage the control board,hopefully your water valves are not leaking as I have seen water valves leak and cause the board to go faulty.Hopefully everything is OK with your machine and there is no more water near the control panel to cause it to fault.

3 lights and loud beeping

When you start your machine is the water just go stop go stop,
Just wait for the machine to display an error code on the wash progress lights and beeps constantly.
It could be the Rotor Position Sensor, out of balance switch or lid magnetic reed switch.
Your error code will determine this.
Is your machine beeping & showing a weird pattern of lights on the wash cycle, It is displaying an error code,
To read this error code you start at the red spin light & work to the left only add up the lights that are on. Red spin light = 1 2nd rinse light =2 1st rinse light =4 last wash light=8 4th wash light=16 3rd wash light=32 2nd wash light=64 1st wash light=128

Mw512 beeps and wont start

The lid switch sounds logical. That would certainly halt the cycle. I'm not sure what actuates the lid switch on your particular model but check it as well. Good luck.

I have a frigidaire washing machine and it spins out just a small amout of water during the cycle, not a lot , have checked the pump and it works, just wondering if it could possibly be the lid lock

It would not agitate if it were the lid lock, just as agitation should stop when you open the lid during cycles. More likely it's something blocking the drain hose. Here is a link to an excellent online repair manual. Click on the picture of the wash machine, then go to chapter 2. Then have a look at Section 2-3.

Pride 5.5 washing machine. Our washing machine stopped (during one of the wash cycles I think) and started to give a single beep every second and all the wash lights were illuminated.

Hi just read your posting.Can you advance the machine to a spin cycle?Or are all the controls frozen?Try advancing the machine to a spin cycle and push start then reply back and let me know what the machine does.Looking forward to your reply.Sounds like a lid switch fault.

Machine stops and will not move to next cycle--spin

Sounds like it it not recognizing that the lid is closed, could be a bad lid switch.
