Hiya folks..Well what a great site.

Well I have been having an ongoing( past month or so) problem with my F&P501. During a wash cycle it would stop beep constantly and display 00010000. You could sometimes advance the cycle and it would work from there.

On looking at your site I entered the diagnostics (I didnt get the 2 beeps after pressing power and wash temp) and got the following code 10000001. I looked at your site further and had a little bit of a play. Checked switches etc. All seemed ok. Now the machine want stop at the required fill level and seems to be completely out of sorts. The error code I get now is 100000011. I am wondering if anyone has any ideas and could of of upset its programming while trying to get into diag?

Any help would be great...its an oldy but a little longer would be handy!!

Last fault code indicates RPS(Rotor postion sensor)
But typical of this model may be Motor controler.
Also with 501 ( 9-10 Year Old) I would check underneath machine
for signs of leaks
What can happen ? Seal gives way & leak onto to motor area ( Where RPS Is located ) Water can corrode contacts at RPS .Giving this fault Code. If So New Machine ( IE Means , Main Seal Bearings Main Shaft, RPS, Maybe Stator
Best Case RPS ( $45_ $50 Aus)
