Fisher & Paykel MW512 won't fill - fill - stop - fill -

Postby Kenton02 » Sat May 26, 2007 4:08 am

Hi

my MW512 won't fill.

The valves seem to open/close about 10 times at about 1 second intervals, then it stops and starts beeping about every second and shows the lights as:
00101011

Following the sticky for diags, I get
00000000

Any Ideas????

(Additional note: Filling by hand and running a rinse empties the water, but no spin. The same beeps etc occur)

Thanks
Kenton

:D :lol: :)

Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!

OK ... so it had to be something to do with the out-of-balance sensor.

This is a plastic rod/lever that hangs down from the right-rear of the top cover.

Wiggled it a bit and it's all ok now.

May get some contact cleaner spray to it if it happens again.

Hope this post helps others

Hey nice one Kenton02!
Have been having the same problem on and off the last couple of months - who'd have thought jiggling the plastic balance switch would solve it.

You've saved us the cost of calling out a technician or worse buying a new machine.

Thanks,
Dave.
