Hi,
The F4 code means that the machine has sensed that the water temperature is not rising while the heating element is energized. There are tests to perform to determine if this condition is caused by a faulty heater plate or the machine's controller. The heater element relay can be energized in the diagnostic test mode, and if the heater does not come on, the heater plate can be tested with an ohm meter. Changing a heater plate is a fairly complex job and you would want to consult a service manual for the proper procedures.
From below website you can learn how to go to diagnostic mode and the reference chart

Hi

Thanks for using FixYa. F1 error means that the flood switch has been activated. You’ll need to reset it by powering off the breaker or by unplugging the unit from the power socket and mains for more than five minutes. Please check that there is no blockage in the drain hose and it is not raised higher otherwise the water will run back to the dishwasher. Also perform the following procedure---

• Unplug power and remove bottom dish drawer
• Use a Sponge and dry all the excess water underneath
• Remove circuit board cover
• Dry all around and underneath as much as possible
• Apply hairdryer for 10-15min

Please do rate the solution if the issue is resolved or else post a comment for further assistance.


Thanks

Hi just read your posting.Error code 37 means you have a Pump Block Error.Now does the machine drain the water?Does your machine drain the water into the laundry sink or somewhere else?Please look underneath the machine to the front right and you should see a red or black fan.If you see this fan this is your pump.Try turning the fan clockwise and anticlockwise a few times to maybe loosen the pump if it is jammed.The fan should turn freely.Once you have turned the fan put it back on its feet and try a spin cycle.Hopefully it starts to drain.If you cant see a fan or the machine still does not drain then reply back with additional information and I am sure I can help you rectify this fault.Looking forward to your reply.

Hi just read your posting.Now can you please tell me the error code again and the model number of your machine.Also what is the machine NOT doing, eg--- not draining or not filling or not spinning or not washing --etc---.Please reply with additional information and I am sure I can help you rectify this fault.

Hi just read your posting.Now Error Code 136 is called Motor Stall.This means the Motor Controller was unable to start the rotation of the motor.The possible causes of this fault are : Faulty wiring to the motor,faulty or jammed motor,seized bearings or seals,faulty control module,faulty rotor sensor.or wiring to the sensor.Now has your machine been noisy on spin?Could you please confirm the model number of your machine.Has your machine been leaking?Does the machine get a lot of work? Please reply with additional information on the questions and I am sure I can help you track the fault down.Looking forward to your reply.

the first question is the water vales on,second it may be inlet selenoids they may need to be replaced

Hi just read your posting.The model number of the machine is located on a sticker at the top to the back.There are a couple of reasons your machine will not power up.1--The pump is open circuit. 2-- The control board is faulty.Please look under the machine,to the front right and you should see a pump with a red or black fan attached,Can you confirm this as it will help me in the diagnostic of the fault.Please reply with additional information on the model number and the tpye of pump.Looking forward to your reply.

Hi just read your posting.Now the noise you heard was probably your motor controller shorting out or your pump shorted out. Did you check the power point with a small appliance to see if it has power?What is the model number of your machine?It is located on a sticker at the back of the machine .Please reply with additional information and I can help you further.

Is the bowl turning slowly when you press start.if it does then you may have a faulty inlet valve,make sure taps are turned on.try advancing the machine to spin cycle,see if it will do any other things such as spin & drain.if it does then probably just not letting in water & inlet valve needs replacing..try filling machine by hand & see if it washes.

You need a new thermostat fitted


Please rate my help++++Thanks for using FIXYA

this machine will not spin until it is empty of water. it sounds like your pump is jammed. first- empty water by hand then tip machine backwards so you can look underneath. only tip it back enough to look underneath. on the front right of the machine you will see a black or red fan, that is the pump. turn the fan clockwise then anti clockwise and hopefully that will loosen up what is jamming the pump. put the machine back on its feet and turn it on. advance cycle to spin then push start. it should start draining the rest of the water out and start spinning. please reply 4 more help

I have a few things that may be of interest to you. This is a complicated machine. The diagnostics are tricky at best. Most of the problems with these machines are related to the use of too much detergent or the wrong kind of detergent. The motor can actually realize suds and go into a suds lock. The control will try and fix the problem by doing some mini washes or something to clean the suds, this over heats the motor sensor and cause havoc. OK I have the FP service manual AND the o8 suppliment.

The given lights indicate fault code 35 which means a motor control reset error. The motor controller stopped the motor because it sensed a false reset signal from the display module. Check the 12-way wiring harness connection between the display module and the motor controller. make sure the connections are snug fit. Replace the display module when the connections are ensured to be good, snug fit, and no short circuit.

Note: The false signal may come from an electromagnetic interference (EMI) due to wires routed near the display module or the motor controller. Make sure wires are properly routed to prevent EMI.

Probably moisture in the control panel, check the lid inside is making a good seal, If it is leaking don't use it until repaired of you will do a lot more damage.
