Hi, can anyone help....

Ive got a problem with an F&P GW611. The progress display led's are showing 00110001....

Thanks in advance

Cold water valve not working. Can be dodgy wiring, electronics or valve itself.

Penguin45,

Thanks for your reply....

If I swap the hot and cold valves, will this create a different error, so I can narrow it down from electics/contol/valve?

Thanks again, from one 'yorkshireman who defected' to one who's still there!

Soviet Republic of Oz, eh?

Right, the cold valve is the "proportional" type - flow varies with voltage applied - hot valve is a conventional "open/closed" type, so the computer may not operate the valve correctly and may well detect another error.........

The valve is p/no 425320 - Kiwi suggests it's not an expensive part, but I can't really advise you as I'm still in the Motherland.

I'd start there, assuming that you've got some sort of supply to the valve - it should max out at 12vDC.

HTH,
Penguin45 (Tha' knows).

The 609 and 611 machines valves are 24v 426560 not the same part number around $50 restance is 61 ohm look for rust on base of solinoid

And remember the seal when changing the valve
and keep an eye on the penguin

Thanks for all your advice guys! Will follow it up and splash out on a cold water valve then!....us yorkshiremen just dont like spending money!

Well I checked the valve, according to fastandpro! all good - so went back to electronics. Put new board in and the machine at least responds - BUT - now getting 1sec beep and 00001001. Checked the error diag and coming up all zero's. - so assume this means ok...Balance ok, water to it...any other ideas?


Thanks guys...

You're halfway there - now you've got the size error. So - Press and hold "Water temperaure up", then press "Power". You should now have up to three LEDs lit - "cold water", "low water" and "hold". For a 5kg machine, press "wash temp up", then "power". For a 6kg machine, press "water level up", then "power". For 7kg, press "spin speed up", then "power".

To see if you've got it right, start a programme........
