Mend Fisher & Paykel Smart Drive Machine Fault Start

How to fix my fisher and parkyel smart drive washing machine?

Our fisher and parkyel washing machine just started with following fault symptom.

When start, the water releasing valve doesn’t release water as it does normally. It release water little by little and does not start up the washing cycle properly.

I had checked the filter and the valve but did not see any problem there.

I appreciate if you could guide me to find the cause of this problem.

Thank you,

Thank you for responding to this. Yes I did leave it until the machine start beeping and observed first Green LED (Long wash) and seventh Orange LED which is just one before last LED was ON. Rest of the LEDs were OFF.
Appreciate your help.

Could be a number of things stopping the fill cycle i.e. Faulty lid switch, faulty out of balance switch, faulty RPS sensor board or fault in the main controller. Best thing to do is leave it going while it is tutrning the water on & off until it goes in to a fault mode. At this point the machine will beep & the lights on the panel will change. Write down the exact lights on & those that are off along the top row. Post the result back here & I will look up the fault code for you.
