In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!
Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

FISHER AND PAYKEL SMARTDRIVE WASHING MACHINE – DATA DOWNLOAD – OPTION ADJUSTMENT – DIAGNOSTIC MODE

Fisher and Paykel SMARTDRIVE WASHING MACHINE – DATA DOWNLOAD – OPTION ADJUSTMENT – DIAGNOSTIC MODE

Data Download
Enter diagnostic mode. Press START/PAUSE. The top How Dirty LED will now be on. Place the download pen over this LED and follow the instructions supplied with the data download program.
DIAGNOSTIC MODE
To enter the Diagnostic Mode, turn the power on at the power point and off at the console. Press and hold the LIFECYCLES button (SPECIAL button on Phase 5) and then the POWER button. The SmartDrive will give 2 short beeps and the LCD screen will go blank.
[Make sure that the buttons are released after the beeps, or the SmartDrive will turn itself out of the diagnostic mode.]
Data Display
To enter the DATA DISPLAY screens, push the LIFECYCLES button again (SPECIAL button on Phase 5). This will enable the out of balance switch to be tested, as well as giving access to the Detailed Fault Codes and User Warning Faults. One of three displays will appear in the screen. Use the OPTIONS up or down buttons to the bottom of the display screen to toggle between these displays (use the buttons to the right of the display on Phase 5).
The Warning Status screen will display the last USER WARNING FAULT that occurred and will show at what part of the cycle it occurred.
The User Warning Faults are:
No Taps
Overloaded
Out Of Balance
Over Suds or water still in the SmartDrive during spin
No Hot Water
No Cold Water
Agitate Overloaded
On Phase 5, the Machine Status screen displays the thermistor temperature and the status of the out of balance switch and the lid switch. It also displays the Size setting of the SmartDrive and the water level.
On Phase 6, the Machine Status screen displays the status of the diverter and the out of balance switch. It also displays the Size setting of the SmartDrive and the thermistor temperature. 
HVDC is for on line testing in the factory.
Target temp is the temperature selected.
T is the actual temp of the inlet chamber water.
The Fault Status screen will display a code for the last fault that has occurred in the SmartDrive. It will
also display how many cycles ago the fault occurred and at what part of the cycle.
The fault code number can now be checked in the detail fault codes, to ascertain what repairs may be necessary.
Lid Switch Test (Phase 5 Only)
Enter the Diagnostic Mode and bring up the Machine Status display.  Activating the lid switch by opening and closing the lid will change the display between “Lid closed” and “Lid Open”.
Drain Pump Test
On IW models, the pump test is activated by the FABRIC CARE button when in diagnostics.
Water Valve Test
When in diagnostic mode on IW SmartDrives, pressing the HOW DIRTY down button will turn the cold water valve on. Pressing the HOW DIRTY up button will turn the hot water valve on. The buttons have to be held down to keep the valves activated.
Restart Feature
IW Restart setting can be accessed when in diagnostic mode. Pressing the OPTIONS button will bring up the CONTROL OPTION screen. The LCD screen will display the following:
The SmartDrive leaves the factory with the RESTART set to the ON position, which is indicated in the
screen by the word RESTART highlighted. To turn the RESTART feature OFF, push the Adjust button
(Phase 5, push the button alongside the word). This will remove the highlight from the word RESTART. When the SmartDrive is being serviced, it is more convenient to turn the RESTART feature OFF. This will allow any fault in the system to show up immediately.
With the RESTART feature on:
1. If a fault occurs in the SmartDrive, the diagnostic system will detect it.  However, instead of displaying a fault code immediately, the SmartDrive will try to RESTART.
2. If the fault was only of temporary nature, the SmartDrive will restart and finish the cycle.
3. If there is a continuous fault the SmartDrive will try to RESTART a number of times. This process could take up to 8 minutes depending on the type of fault. After this, if the SmartDrive still cannot restart, the fault code is displayed and the SmartDrive will beep continuously.
Whether or not the RESTART feature is on is indicated during normal use of the SmartDrive when power is on at the power point and off at the console as follows:
1. If none of the 5 green HOW DIRTY LEDs are on, the RESTART feature is on.
2. If the 5 green HOW DIRTY LEDs are flashing, the RESTART feature is off.
NOTE: This feature is designed as a service aid only and should be left ON in the customer’s home. To return to normal operation, and to reset the RESTART feature to the factory setting, switch the smartDrive off at the wall or disconnect from the mains supply.
Recycle Feature
In the Control Options mode (as for setting the RESTART feature), pushing the ADJUST button (Phase 5, push the button alongside the word) to highlight the word RECYCLE will toggle this feature on and off. At the end of servicing, the SmartDrive may require an extended test where the SmartDrive can be left to complete a number of wash cycles. By turning on the RECYCLE feature the SmartDrive will continuously repeat the wash cycle until the RECYCLE feature is turned off.
Whether or not the RECYCLE feature is on is indicated during normal use of the SmartDrive when power is on at the power point and off at the console as follows:
1. If none of the FABRIC CARE LEDs are on, the recycle feature is off.
2. If all of the FABRIC CARE LEDs flash, the recycle feature is on.
NOTE: This feature is designed as a service aid only and should be OFF in the customer’s home. To return to normal operation, and to return the recycle feature to the factory setting, switch the SmartDrive off at the wall or disconnect from the mains supply.
Hot Bowl Flag
If the SmartDrive has been filled with the hot water valve utilised (ie. warm or hot fill) and has not had a cold rinse, the electronics will not allow the SmartDrive to spin up to its full speed of 1000 RPM.  It will only allow the spin speed to reach 700 RPM.
To remove this flag, enter the Control Option mode and push the ADJUST button (Phase 5, push the button alongside the word) to take the black shading out of the box Hot Bowl Flag, or put the SmartDrive through a complete final rinse.
NOTE: The drain pump test, water valve test, restart, recycle and hot bowl flag features can be accessed from any level in the diagnostic mode.
Other Option Adjustments
Phase 5
Turn the machine on.
Press and hold the OPTIONS button for 4 seconds.
The Adjust Options Menu will be displayed.
Push the small button next to the option to be adjusted. The display will change to the choices available for that option.
To set the option, push the small button next to it. The display screen will
highlight the selection made before returning to the main screen.
Phase 6:
Turn the machine on.
Press and hold the OPTIONS UP button for 3 seconds until a beep is heard.
The Adjust Options Menu will be displayed.
Press the OPTIONS UP button to scroll through the options to the option to be adjusted.
Press the ADJUST button to set the option.
Press the HOME button to return to the main screen.
The options that can be adjusted are:
Wash Temperature. On Phase 5 each increment is approximately 10C, while on Phase 6 each increments is approximately 20C.
Auto Water Level. 
This increases or decreases the fill level that auto will detect.
Default Rinse. The default rinse can be set to either spray and deep, single deep, double deep or shower.
Creasable Spin Speed. The spin speed for the Creasables cycle can be set at either slow (300rpm on Phase 5, 330rpm on Phase 6) or medium (700rpm on Phase 5, 670rpm on Phase 6).
Out of Balance Recovery. The out of balance recovery action can be set to be either automatic, where the machine will fill with water and agitate to redistribute the load, or it can be turned off, where the machine will stop and beep.
End of Cycle Beeps. These can be set to zero, five or fifteen
