 What model? Fault 49 is specifically the cold inlet valve. It's an electrical-type problem, the control board isn't reading a proper voltage/signal from that circuit. Could be a bad solenoid (they can be bad even if reading within spec on resistance), wire connection problem, or a board problem. You're saying the hot and cold water both can't be activated via Diagnostic Mode? The machine won't spin if there's water in the tub but it should if the tub is empty regardless of whether the pump runs. May be a bad board what with the cold valve circuit and the pump circuit both not functioning. | ||

AH ok - I'll see what I can do! I'm thinking I need to a new motor control module. Do you think I should replace the RPS too? Thanks David | ||

I found a service manual for the model (230v?). It advises that Fault 49 can be manifested by a SmartPump failure ... which first records as Fault 249, then may change to 49 when machine power is disconnected and reconnected. Check for 16.2 ohms across each pairing of the three pump windings. Can check at the harness in the console which tests the harness down to the pump, and also directly at the pump to isolate the harness. Says to replace both the control board and pump likely required if a pump failure is confirmed as the cause. The RPS would/should throw a different code. Do you have or want the service manual? | ||

All AquaSmarts use the SmartPump, which is a sort-of mini SmartDrive motor. 3 phase 6 pole multi-speed reversing brushless DC motor with a wet rotor. There is no powered diverter valve. A flapper in the pump cavity moves in response to the water flow direction to close the opposite port for recirculation and drain. | ||

David, I need an email address that can take a ~4MB attachment to send the service manual. Or you can try locating a download yourself. The document number is 479615 and references WL80T65CW. There's a typo on a subpage list of covered models, says WL80T56CW2 instead of 65, but the model reference on the cover page says 65 so it presumably is the correct document ... depends on your Product Code, which is considered a more accurate service reference for production variations than the model number. | ||
