Fisher Paykel Washer Ecosmart Phase 5

They are on when it is stopped, or when in diagnostics, the LEDs no. 3, 4, and 8 are lit. They are also on when attempting to operate the washer.

I may be wrong on this ... but ...

Are you counting the LEDs from left-to-right or right-to-left?  Each LED represents a binary value, doubling from 1 at the first LED to 128 at the eighth.  Add the values to get the Fault Code.

I'm assuming you're counting from left-to-right, as per thus.  Fault 49 is bad cold valve.  I recall that the control board checks the valve circuits at connection to power, which is why it displays the fault when the machine isn't running.  Could also be that both valves are bad, being that as I recall Fault 49 may take precedence over Fault 50 (which is the hot valve) if both faults are occurring.

 

=================================================================================The correct direction to count the LEDs is right-to-left (for increasing binary values) ... but that gives Fault 140 (for 3rd, 4th, and 8th LEDs).  Fault 140 doesn't exist ... which is why I assume you're counting in the wrong direction as above.

Could also be bad board 

gotta measure the valves ohms 

aside from that phase 5 board is prob nla and real exxy if you can get one

This would have to be 20+ year old machine , hopefully just a valve as cheap and easy repair
