56. (00111000) Phase 4 to 6 - Basket Check No Valid Fault

While carrying out a basket check, the machine has not been able to determine a

valid tub status and so the Display flags this fault. This fault differs from fault 40 in

that a valid tub status could not be determined. The first two areas to check are the

clutch and pressure tube. If these two appear correct, then the fault could be with

the pressure transducer in the motor controller.

Primary Source: Mechanical.

Action:

1) Check that there are no clothes or other foreign objects preventing the clutch

from re-engaging.

2) Next check that the pressure tube has not come off and that it is not kinked.

Secondary Source: Motor Controller module. (Phase 4) Rotor Position

Sensor (Phase 5 and 6)

Action:

Replace the Motor Controller module. (Phase 4) Rotor Position Sensor (Phase 5
and 6)

Whirlpool Duet HT WFW9200SQ/A: Stopped during wash cycle. No code but display flashed 56, assuming that's the time left. Why did the washer stop?

Maybe power was lost temporarily. Try pressing start / resume button. Or cancel cycle and start over. Also Check drain pump for obstructions.

For an error code the lights don't flash they just stay on
and beeping sound.
Your pump could be over-current and faulty.

MW511. 2 & 7 lights flash, beeping. No agitate or spin?

Fault code 66 is pressure sensor is faulty
66. (01000001) Pressure Transducer Error [Ptx Frequency > 90 kHz]
Note: this supersedes Fault code 65 from V41 Motor controller code onwards.
The Motor Control module has received signals from the water level sensor (Ptx)
above normal frequency values.
Primary Source: Motor Control module
Action: Replace Motor Control module
