fisher&paykel GWL11 problem
Comments (1)If the machine is dead, then the main board likely is fried. There are two boards. One is the control panel pushbutton board which likely is OK. The other is a separate motor/machine board mounted inside. Oftentimes if the pump (which is a separate electric motor from the main spin/agitate drive motor) leaks and shorts-out, it kills the main board. First thing is get under the machine and examine the pump for signs of leaking and damage (darkening/burning and/or corrosion) on the windings. The pump is removable without tools. It mounts to a metal bracket. Look for a plastic latch. Disconnect the wires, lift the latch, the pump body then rotates and drops off the mounting bracket. See instructions in the Small Leak/Drip thread dated Tue May 6, 2008 for how to open the control panel. The main board is the large brown housing with the plastic tube and many wires attached. Assuming the pump is bad, you can replace it, but the machine still won't run until the control board is replaced. The board and pump together run about $200. Two sources online for parts are http://www.searspartsdirect.com and http://www.fisherpaykelparts.net. Current prices at Sears are a little cheaper....See MoreFisher Paykel GWL11 Problem
Comments (3)Fault Code 136. (10001000) Phase 1 to 6 - Motor Stall The Motor Control Model has been unable to start the motor. Possible causes of this fault are: Faulty motor harness, faulty or jammed motor, seized bearings or seals, faulty Motor Control Module, faulty Rotor Position Sensor or harness. Primary Source: Wiring Measure / check the rotor harness, connectors, and motor for discontinuity. This can be done by taking a resistance measurement between phases of the motor harness at the Motor Control Module end. Nominal resistance should be approximately 32 ohms for Phase 6 (GWL11). Secondary Source: Motor 1. Check free rotation of the agitator and inner drum by rotating by hand (note: the agitator will rotate with the drum, it can't move separately if there's no water in the tub). Bearings and seals may be seized. 2. Visually check the Rotor Position Sensor and associated harness for water contamination, mechanical damage, or corrosion. (Note: Do not attempt to test the RPS for resistance readings. It should be tested only with a special electronic diagnostic tool.) Tertiary Source: Motor Control Module If the primary and secondary checks pass inspection, then replace the Motor Control Module....See MoreFisher Paykel GWL11 Washing machine repair

Comments (2)I noticed that it fills at a trickle on cold and warm. Check the hot and cold flow (separately) via diagnostics. If water flow is weak then either 1) the respective valve is bad, or 2) a debris screen is clogged in the hose connection port on the valve or at the supply faucet (if screens are there). I ran the diagnostic and got an error code of 52 -diverter valve error. Fault 52 is caused by water draining (when it shouldn't) during the Eco Active recirculation phase which triggers refilling to compensate ... OR can be related to the fill rate being excessively slow causing a water level top-up to take longer than expected ... which goes back to your first point. It's normal for one water level top-up to occur during Eco Active....See MoreTory Cory
