40. (00101000) Bowl Dis-engage Fault While carrying out a bowl check, the Motor Control Module has found that the bowl is not engaged even though the pressure sensor indicates that the bowl is empty. The Motor Control Module continues to check for 2 minutes, after which time it displays this fault. The first two areas to check are the clutch and the pressure tube. If these two appear correct, then the fault could be in the pressure sensor in the Motor Control Module. Primary Source: Mechanical. Action: 1) Check that there are no clothes or other foreign objects preventing the clutch from re-engaging. Excessive suds can stop the bowl rotating. 2) If the machine is empty of water, carry out a clutch disassembly procedure and check the spline drive. 3) Next check that the pressure tube has not come off and that it is not kinked. Secondary Source: Motor Control Module. Action: Replace Motor Control Module.

dkfreeman - i hope you are handy with a screw driver - remove the 2 screws on the rear top corners of the display, lift the door upwards to remove - remove the display - disconnect the display module - take off the a clear tube right side of the controllers - try bowing into this away from the board. DO NOT BLOW INTO THE ELCTRONIC BOARD - put it all back together 7 switch it on - if theres water in the washer advance prog to rinse so it drains, start from the beginning of a cycle and hope for the best.

Code 66 - is an error based around the water level control, its electronic rather than a pressure switch - operates the same way.

Worse case is you may have to replace the control module - but the above method should sort this out for you.

Hello, code 39 is indicating you have an issue with the drain pump. The most common being the pump is failing. If you have been hearing any kind of sqeeking or squeeling or a rattling sound during the wash cycle the pump is failing and will need to be replaced.

Chances are it's the 6 inch or so rubber "U" tube you see attached from the diverter valve to the pump. The end that goes to the pump has to slip under the metal housing and turn it about a half an inch, then use the clamps to secure it.

you want to check the drain pump if there is nothing stuck there sometimes a drain restriction will cause the machine to stop

Hi just read your post.Now is the machine full of water? If it is, drain most of the water by hand with a small pot or bowl.When you have removed most of the water pull the machine away from the back wall and lean it back so you can look under neath the machine.To the right of the machine you will see a little black fan,this is the pump.Make sure the power is off at the wall ,now turn the fan clockwise and anticlockwise.The fan should spin freely.If it does put the machine back on the ground and turn the machine on and select a spin cycle and it should start to drain.If it does not drain or the fan is hard to turn please reply and I can help you further.Regards LU.

I've had the same issue with my FP washer, thanks for the tips!

Hi Bill...
It takes all of 5 minutes (if that) to change the agitator. You pop off the fabric softener dispenser on the top of the agitator, then reach down inside and undo the plastic wingnut that secures the agitator down and then simply lift if off.

As for issues with using it with broken fins, you could end up with some clothes damage, especially to delicate items, if you continue to use it that way.

You can get the part here:

You need to put an end cap bung on the hot valve to use cold only.

Your diverter valve maybe half open and is jammed with lint.

no it cannot be done

Motor controller has faulty power supply. You need to get a new/recondition motor controller board.
