Hi Craig. Superb looking machine and in excellent condition. Obviously very well cared for by its previous owner. Fingers crossed that you will be preserving this machine as a restoration job? Surely waaayyyyyyy too good to scrap. Paul | ||

The machine is in tip top showroom condition so i really want to keep it & get it working again, but i would like a bit of advice. I have fitted a new door interlock & the infobubble display shows the selected programe that's fine, if i select a spin only programme it works perfectly fine but if i select a wash programme it displays a E30 fault code. I have checked the other circuit boards & they look fine. Do you think it's safe for me just to replace the one faulty circuit board. I'm 90% sure the burned out door interlock caused the circuit board to fail.

James,
I was up till 2am doing exactly that, because where the board has blow i thought i could just solder it back, but after doing all that what is happening is the cold solenoid valve just stays on all the time even when u haven't selected a programme' but the error code does not come on now so i guess something on the board has gone, & i'm quite happy with the FHP motor it sounds so much quieter on the spin compared to my current washer. Plus i don't think a GE motor were on these 1200 spin digital models. | ||

Hi again, Look's like it's new board time then, also the GDA motors were on 1200 and 1400rpm machines. James. | ||

I have been waiting 11 days for the power boards to be repaired, so i phoned the company up on monday & they said that they were beyond repair so they have sent me some replacement boards at no extra cost. I will be fitting them tomorrow so i will keep you updated on it.
Oh & thank you Rob for your help. | ||

I'm not having much luck
Well i have re-fitted the replacement boards it took me all of 10 minutes a very easy job to do as long as you know where all the wires go, luckily i took a few pictures of the circuitry before hand. I gave it a try last night & it's filling with water, tumbling & heating to the correct temperature, i was in heaven watching it! Now for the bad news it's not pumping out the water, after so long 'E15 check the drainage hose' comes up on the info bubble display. The pump was working fine before the new boards went in but now it's totally dead. So now i guess there is a problem with the replacement boards. I'm getting really frustrated with it now. Luckily the boards are guaranteed for 12 months. I just want to get it working again, but i was not expecting this to happen. I have waited this long to get it working so i'm not gonna give up on it now!
