I have a F&P washing machine Smart drive 603 about 10 years old, that has stopped working. No power, no lights, I am guessing electrics. Is it worth fixing? Not sure if it is terminal or not!
No error codes, not sure where the model code is located. I haven't tried anything. It was a bit tempremental for the last few weeks, stopping mid-cycle. I just "advanced' it, and it finished ok, then one day it made my fuse-box cut out, then just stopped altogether. So I'm guessing something electrical?

the problem sounds like it is your out of balance switch is faulty. it is located under the control module at top of unit. 80 to 90% that is the problem. could also b rotor sensor or worst case, control module. if u r confident and have an electrical test meter reply back and i will help u more. please turn off power b4 u work on it.
I have exactly the same issue, which first appeared yesterday. Following your advice, the lights that are lit are 3rd, 5th, 7th and 8th. The SLOW & HOLD spin speed lights are lit, along with constant beeping :)
If there is power and all your lights are lighting up but you get no responce from the machiene eg no spin, water filling, wash cycle or drain then it will be the sensor for the lid it will have coroded but this is an easy fix , I hope this helps
Firstly, the model 708 is way more than 9 years old. More like 18 - 19 years old. There is 2 types of errors on a smartdrive. One is signalled by a single beep every second & the top row of lights will change. The 2nd is a rippling musical sound (like when you turn the power on at the wall) and some lights will be blinking. You need to tell us what sound it is and which lights are blinking or which of the top row lights are on (exactly, count from the right to left and which number is on & which is off) There is no such thing as a reset to do. Once I know the fault I can advise you what to do about it.
while under the lid there should be a tech sheet, explaining varions flashing light codes and there respective fixes for each instance, replacing tha switch(out of bal switch) seems like a good start though. cant remember if jumping it out will help, might be looking for a break in the line rather than continuity through it
