My AQGMD149 washer-dryer has a fault code F 1 and says the machine is blocked

The machine would not come on saying that it did not have water. The door was locked so I removed the kick plate and manually unlocked it. Now it has a fault code F1 and says the machine is blocked. I checked the self cleaning pump and it was clear.

The fault code F1 (or F01) is a Motor/triac fault. The triac is a device for controlling the relatively high currents required by the washing machine motor from the low power chips etc on the main Printed Circuit Board (PCB). Either the motor or triac has a short circuit condition. Check connectors on motor and main PCB card making sure they are sound and not lose. If the connectors are ok I would replace the triac or power board.

SOURCE: Dishwasher does not spray water

It sounds like your dishwasher is doing everything normal EXCEPT washing. The unit fills properly, the timer advances properly, the unit drains and goes through a rinse cycle, plus the water is heating. I would check your main wash pump for obstructions that may be clogging it, or if it is not running at all, you need to check the interconnecting wiring and/or something in the wash pump circuit that would prevent it from running. There should be a wiring diagram/tech sheet located behind the lower kick panel under the door. I hope this helps some. Good luck and let me know what you find.

Hotpoint AQGMD149

First check the cold water supply filter screen to be sure it is not clogged with debris. Disconnect the cold water line, and there should be a filter screen inside the hose connector. Clean it with a stiff toothbrush.

My Aqualtis AQGMD149 has the fault that it is blocked. I cannot remove the cover to clean the pump out. The manual says unscrew it anti-clockwise but it only goes a quarter of a turn and won't budge. ...

Try pulling the filter after you have unscrewed it. Often there is a large rubber sealing ring on the perimeter of the filter drawer so it has to be pulled quite hard to remove it.

Fault code 01

this is actually a fault code error code 1 not one minute check your manual as codes different on some machines from memory i think 1 is a filling fault this machine uses fuzzy logic if water fill takes longer than 4 mins (low pressure) machine stops can be restarted by pressing start button.
see if machine will complete just a rinse cycle.

good luck

Machine fault code "f13"

Plug off the wall. There is a thin rubber tube going from the switch area to the exit near the outlet tube. Probably this is blocked. This tube should be free from any blockage; take out the top clip from this tube and blow into it - it should be free, clear the blockage if any and refit. This is the water level tube which tells the machine when to switch off water, etc.....

Washer will fill up w/water and wont spin. It still goes through all the cycles.

The fault could be caused by several things, 1. it has a blocked air trap, 2.the lid switch is faulty. 3. The motor to gear box coupling has sheared off or the motor is faulty, there is nothing else that can cause this fault. Regards Engineer
