F & P Smart drive 601

If it is out of balance it will automatically return to a wash cycle to try and redistribute the clothes more evenly. Maybe the out of balance switch is faulty. More likely though is a faulty control board. If that then get a new washing machine. That model is over 20 years old. Not worth spending money on it.

Do you know what lights are on when its beeping
just add up the lights that are on to get your fault code.

you need new air filter old filter clogged.

It could have bad main seal and rusty bearings.

It could be a faulty lid switch in the blue display board.
The smaller one of the two has the lid switch in it.

If it isn/t doing anything at all it could be a faulty start switch on the display panel. Also make sure you can hear an audible click when you open and close the lid. The lid switch on a 601 is actuated on the right hand back of lid adjust as required. Hope this helps.

In many occasions the hard drive get fill from many background reporting that was not deleted or by unexpected shutdown or by the hibernations feature if you have it on...try to go to the c:\ and type dir/p and look for all the files that are big and you do not recognize them and post the list to see if they can be deleted or not meantime did you start your maintenance on the drive? Go to my computer and right click on the c drive and go to property and select one by one from the list and see how much left on the driver and let me know. I will be working with you to conclusions of this issue. Please see that grant me your approvals by rating my service and I hope that I can serve you again the future.

with the machine plugged in and turned on but not powered up this is what to do
press and hold down the start button, then press and hold down the power button (hold down for 5 seconds) the washer may beep up to 3 times during this process
next remove fingers from buttons, then turn off machine with the power button, then turn on again and only press the start button this will now reprogram the computer
let it run untill end of cycle and this should fix prob

while under the lid there should be a tech sheet, explaining varions flashing light codes and there respective fixes for each instance, replacing tha switch(out of bal switch) seems like a good start though. cant remember if jumping it out will help, might be looking for a break in the line rather than continuity through it
