Hi all, and especially F&P people in Australia, New Zealand and US.
Our much loved F&P Aquasmart has stopped working this morning. Fault Code 49, which is apparently a faulty water valve. This happened mid-cycle (spin-rinse section) and the machine stopped dead.
I checked the solenoids on the water valve - all four giving readings of 59/60 ohms, and I cleaned the filter screens. After transferring the laundry, and bailing the water to check for pump blockages (none to see), it is still not working.
In control mode, the fill selections don't register, and while the pump can be selected in both modes it doesn't run. On a spin cycle, the pump doesn't run (though the control mode shows the pump being called), and the machine runs through the wash to spin mode shift repeatedly without moving to spin.
Any ideas? Its going to be difficult finding any parts etc for this machine in Ireland, so before I go ordering parts from Australia or New Zealand, I wonder if anyone has any pointers.
Thanks
David
