My GW711 is showing a fault indication across the "Wash Progress" indicators.... third and forth lamp from left as well as spin plus continuous beeping every second. Pressing start/pause changes indication to lid locked. Pressing power reverts to fault code. Power isolation reset doesn't do anything. System pumps down but pumps continues to run after empty....
What is likely fault? Is the indication a fault code?
Any simple resolution beyond calling in a tech?

My fisher and paykel GW711 is showing the 3rd, 4th and last lamp. Can you please let me know what fault code, what is wrong and any way I can fix it?

My fisher paykel washing machine model no. gw711 has the last wash cycle and spin lights constantly on with continous beep. Cannot seem to be able to reset. I have turned on and off again with no response. How do I reset this without a service call..

fault 49 comes up on my screen

Speaking to Fisher and Paykel the fault number is 49 Circuit Breaker Internal. The faults that could relate to this are that the pipelines are blocked, the hot/cold valves are inoperational or the diverter valve may be either blocked, stuck in the open/closed position or it is inoperational. I am still trying to get some more detail regarding the valves so I can test them. Other than that this is about as far as I have gotten on a Saturday afternoon when there is no technicians working over the weekend. Hope this helps

Turns out that I have now encountered exactly the same issue described above. Has anyone determined how to resolve this issue?
Thank you

We have the same problem with the lights - how did you fix the problem Stephen?
