When you start your machine is the water just go stop go stop,
Just wait for the machine to display an error code on the wash progress lights and beeps constantly.
It could be the Rotor Position Sensor, out of balance switch or lid magnetic reed switch.
Your error code will determine this.
Is your machine beeping & showing a weird pattern of lights on the wash cycle, It is displaying an error code,
To read this error code you start at the red spin light & work to the left only add up the lights that are on. Red spin light = 1 2nd rinse light =2 1st rinse light =4 last wash light=8 4th wash light=16 3rd wash light=32 2nd wash light=64 1st wash light=128

    Hi Gavin R your error code is 133,

  • Greg Stephen
    Greg Stephen May 03, 2014

    132. (10000100) Phase 1 to 4 - Single Current Trip The Motor Controller has detected excess current in the motor or electronic switches. This fault has occurred momentarily. Primary Source: Wiring. Action: Check the wiring connections from the Motor Controller to the Stator and the Rotor Position Sensor. Secondary Source: Motor. Action 1) Measure/check the motor harness, connectors and motor for shorts. This can be done by taking a resistance measurement between phases of the motor harness at the Motor Control module end. Nominal resistance should be around 12.2 ohm for Phase 2, 3 & Phase 4. For Phase 5 and 6 Smart Drive the nominal resistance should be around 32 ohms. 2) Check the Rotor Positional Sensor, Stator brass bridge terminal point and associated harness for water, mechanical damage or corrosion. Tertiary Source: Motor Controller module. Action If all the above show no signs of fault then replace the Motor Controller module. Also check for water leaks from the cooling chamber or valves that could possibly come in contact with the Motor Controller and fix the leak before replacing with new Motor Controller module. 133. (10000101) Phase 1 to 4 - Repetitive Current Trip The Motor Controller has detected excess current in the motor or electronic switches. This fault is a more severe occurrence than Fault Number 132 but has identical fault sources and fault service procedure.

SOURCE: Washing Machine stopped through cycle and now will not turn on

Unplug!!! NOW! I drained the water using a common garden hose, fill the hose with water and have some device turning it off like a trigger nozzle on the low end. Detach from the supply and put the supply end in the center of the tub under the softener dispenser. take the trigger nozzle off and watch the water drain without cups and buckets. Then wring out the clothes and put them aside, use the hose trick again for remaining water. Now get under the washer and detach and reattach the brown and white lead input to the rinse cycle motor. She is made in France so be gentle. Plug the machine in and set the machine down and turn it on. Push the >> button until you reach the spin cycle if it starts you have fixed it!! Put the clothes back in open a bottle of wine and try again.

SOURCE: F & P washing machine GW709AU not competing rinse cycle and then beeps and flashes light.

My Whirlpool washing machine is not stopping after completion of wash cycle instead it is repeating the cycle again. It is not consistent, but out of 3 washes 1 wash is happening that way...we are manually stopping machine by gaurding carefully when timer shows nearer to completion.

SOURCE: Stops drains and bleeps with only spin light illuminated

It sounds like you need to re programme the
machine.
With the machine plugged into the wall and
turned on and the headset turned off this is what
you do.
Push and hold down the start button, while doing that you need to then push and hold down the power button.
Hold them down for about 5 seconds, during
which time you may a series of up to 3 beeps.
Then release the buttons.
Turn the machine off and then on again followed by the start button. Allow the machine to then run the complete cycle.
This should correct your problem, if this doesn't then you may need to then look at replacing the computer panels.

F & P Smartdrive 708 has all lights showing when powering on, but will not start wash cycle. Have tried turning off at wall to re-set; taken lid off but still no go

take the motor shroud with the magnets in it off you will probably find corrosion on the terminals on the small circuit board clean it off, whilst you are at it check your pump is spinning freely if not pull it off and dismantle it clean the rotor it may have a rust buildup on it, when putting it back together give the bearing holder a few taps to centre the shaft before you tighten the screws completely, if it tightens up when you tighten the screws give it another couple of taps either side of the bearings until it frees up
