I have a Fisher and Paykel smart drive. It turns on - all the display lights up and can be changed, but when you close the lid and press start nothing happens. I have removed the lid to try and find a switch to see if thats the problem but I cant even find a switch. We have 4 kids so I just spent a fortune down the laundromat!! Your help would be really appreciate.
Some model smartdrives have a hidden switch activated by a magnet moulded in lid if it has gone to open circuit it thinks the lid is open.This open circuit when lid opens is a safety feature should someone open lid during lid cycle,some become stuck due to corroision and need to be changed

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT IDEA ... ALL WASHERS DO HAVE A SAFTEY SWITCH TO PREVENT PEOPLE GETTING HURT WHEN WASHER IS IN AGITATE OR SPIN CYCLE. IF YOU CANT SEE A SMALL HOLE INSIDE THE RIM OF THE TOP UNDER THE DOOR WHERE A PEG PUSHES DOWN TO CLOSE THE SWITCH ... THEN THEY ARE USUALLY BUILT INTO THE HINGE ASSEMBLY. THE START BUTTON ALSO ACTIVATES A RELAY THAT MAY BE BAD.
