Primary Source:
Wiring.
Action:
Check the valve harness is correctly fastened to the valve or the pins are not
bent backwards.
Secondary Source:
Detergent Valve.
Action:
Check the valve coil is not faulty (i.e. not open circuit – See 1.8).
Tertiary Source:
Motor Controller module.
Action:
Replace the Motor Controller module.

Fabric Softener Valve Fault
The Motor Controller module has detected that the fabric softener valve (yellow clip) is faulty.
It determines this by measuring voltages from the valve diagnostic circuit. The most likely
cause is that the valve harnesses has not been connected correctly or the valve is open circuit.
Primary Source:
Wiring.
Action:
Check the valve harness is correctly fastened to the valve or the pins
are not bent backwards.
Secondary Source:
Fabric Softener Valve.
Action:
Check the valve coil is not faulty (i.e. not open circuit – See
1.8).
Tertiary Source:
Motor Controller module.
Action:
Replace the Motor Controller module.
36.
Water Leak Fault
The Motor Control Module has needed to top up the water level more than 4 times during
agitate. This is excessive, as normally only one or two top ups are required to replace the air
that has escaped from a full load during agitate. The most likely cause is that the machine is
siphoning. The other alternative is that the machine has developed a leak.
Primary Source:
Pump System.
Action
1) Check the height of the drain hose outlet Minimum 850mm,
maximum 1200mm.
2) Check that the hose guide is fitted and check that the hose does not
protrude more than 20mm beyond the guide.
Secondary Source:
Mechanical.
Action:
1) Check the pressure tube connections on the outer bowl and Motor
Control Module.
2) Check that the drive shaft seal and the pump housing seal have not
developed a leak.
Tertiary Source:
Motor Control Module.
Action:
Replace Motor Control Module.

No change in the water level (Pump Blocked Error)
While draining, the water level reading from the pressure sensor has not changed for over 3 minutes.
There are four likely reasons for this fault.
1)
The drain hose or the pressure switch hose has been squashed or kinked and the pump out rate
has been dramatically reduced.
2)
The pump is partially or fully blocked.
3)
The pump is not operating due to Motor Control Module, wiring or pump failure. This fault could
also appear if the machine is pumping to an unusually high head of drain hose or into an
extended length of drain hose.
4)
A diverter valve fault or blockage, water level is not altering as the diverter is stuck in the
recirculation mode, giving the module the appearance the pump is not lowering the water level.
Primary Source:
Pump System.
Action:
1) Check that the drain hose has not been kinked.
2) Check the length of the drain hose and try to reduce the length if
excessively long. A 1 metre extension hose of the same diameter fitted to
the existing drain hose is the maximum allowable length.
3) Check for open circuit windings in the pump. (
Note: Pumps are fitted
with a thermal cut-out, which will reset on cooling.)
