Did mean neck ring strap 3.

This is the one for the led type

That is error code 130 130. (10000010) Phase 1 to 6 - Single Rotor Position Sensor Error The Motor Control Module has found an error in the pattern received from the Rotor Position Sensor. Likely causes of this fault are a bad connection on the harness between the Rotor Position Sensor and the Motor Control Module, or a faulty Rotor Position Sensor. Primary Source: Wiring. Action: 1. Check for corrosion on the edge connector of the Rotor Position Sensor and the Motor Control Module connector. 2. Check the contacts on the rotor positional sensor end of the hall harness to see if any have been damaged. (Each set of contacts in the socket has two wipers. If the distance between these wipers varies between different contacts, replace the rotor positional sensor harness.) Secondary Source: Rotor Position Sensor. Action: Check the Rotor Position Sensor with an R.P.S. tester. Replace if faulty. Tertiary Source: Motor Control Module. Action: Replace Motor Control Module.

It simply means the LCD assembly is the only one at fault either due to a connection problem or the display itself. Since the connector and the LCD are integral part of the display module, they cannot be purchased separately and the only viable solution is replacing module completely. Indicate the exact model number of the machine for replacement parts assistance and should you need further help.

check the cylinder

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome to the site. Are you sure it is 24? Below is a link to the manual. The error codes are about 1/3 of the way down.

Code 130 indicates Rotor Position Sensor (RPS) fault.

RPS is just underneath the machine. It can be accessed by removing the plastic cover (the outer part of the motor) by one bolt. Then remove cover to access the windings of the motor. Undo the four bolts, drop the windings off the machine; you now have two parts of the motor off and the RPS can be accessed. Remove it and clean it up.

Reset the machine again by unplugging for 2 mins. If it doesn't work, then it means that the sensor needs to be replaced.

I hope this information helps you.. Good luck! :)

Hi dear.That's related to size error.When you replace the motor control module you need to set the machine wash capacity like:5Kg or 7.5Kg.To do that please follow the steps: Phase 1 to 6 Size Switch Error
The Display size switch setting does not match that stored in the memory.IW machines, Phase 5 and 6
To access Size Setting Mode. Push and hold the Fabric care button and then press the Power button to enter Size Setting mode. Select the correct size on the display by pushing the White button next to the correct size (phase 5) or using the Adjust button to highlight the right size (phase 6). Size setting is then achieved by pressing the Power button. Powering off will set the size into the memory. Check the size is set before starting a cycle.
I hope that helps.Thanks.

Sounds like the 'lid lock' has shorted out. They're not completely waterproof and have seen pins completely blown out inside them. Should measure 73 ohms (or very close to it) across the terminals. Hope this helps.

restart the unit...coz if running dont try to open the door. unplug the unit and start again.

Hi, although the fault code 249 does not exist in the repair manual and in all Fisher and Paykel washer series. But i have come across different people who had the same fault code 249 on this same washer but the code was associated with different problem on the washer. While the code was associated with spinning problems on some, it was associated with draining problem on others while some complained about not working at all.
So you need to get a repair tech around to check the washer out and determine the main problem with it before proceeding to repair. You just have to ignore the non-existent 249 fault code

If there is power to the machine and the display panel doesn't show any lights when 'power' is pressed there is a good chance that a fuse has failed in the motor controller module or that the module itself has failed.
Motor modules can fail when another component fails and overloads the module.
Modules should not be replaced without first checking the other electical components in the machine for resistance and/or continuity.
It's probably best to call an experienced tech who is familiar with F&P machines. I'm sorry not to help you fix the problem your self, but you can easily do more damage to the machine by not thoroughly checking and testing the machine. A repairer who is experienced won't replace a component without testing, and you won't have to pay for parts which might fail on installation..
Good luck....Nomess
