Where do i find the error codes for a Fisher/Paykel washing machines?

Fisher Paykel washing machine constantly stopped/started every second or two, eventually giving 00101011 or decimal 43 fault code. OOB (out of balance) switch was all corroded. Worked for me!

Got it, theres a plastic strip that extends up into the panel from the drum (top right corner)
remove the panel and also the circuit board to get to the switch.
Remove the switch.
Sure enough it was stuck in.
Bit of degreaser (all i had)
all fixed
hope this helps others as others have helped me.

Error is 00101011 binary, or 43 decimal

Same trouble I have, though not got an answer yet.

Bob, thanks for the reply. I did check the supply lines and the filter screens and they were good. I had a feeling it may be the controller board but I wanted a second opion before spending the big bucks.

Its probably something in the controller that is near impossible to fix. I'd get the pro's in to look at it & if they say its fuct have a look at ecoinnovation.co.nz to see how to turn it into a generator. I am assuming it is a smartdrive. By the way, have you checked that the taps are fully open? And the mesh filters aren't clogged?
