Thanks for the tip James, they quoted me ~$130 to recondition the (grey) controller board for my GW709AU that isn't sensing empty level and moving to spin cycle. Better than $190 for a new one from F&P.
Let's hope it does the trick!
Apparently every pressure sensor is slightly different and the software on the board's main chip allows for each unit to be calibrated to its sensor. Dismantling the sensor like I did throws things badly out of whack - especially if you give the little spring inside it a bit of a stretch!

Phone Module Repair Services in Ringwood, Melbourne. However, doubt they'd give you a copy, this information is just not given out to anyone - held very close to the chest !!!!!

Suggest you get another module.
