Fisher and Paykel Intuitive Eco IW811 - no power to control panel/fault 130?

Hi there,
Our washing maching went bang the other day. A technician came to have a look and suggested it was the Controller Module Pass (model no 420093NZP). We have replaced this and could get the machine panel to light up and tell us what the faults were (my husband fixed 3 of the faults and now we are onto fault no. 130) but now we can't even get the panel to light up. There was no bang or crack or any other sound. Is there a wiring diagram to know where the plugs in the Controller Module Pass go (the new one is different to the old one)? How do we get the panel to light up again? Also, how can we fix Fault 130?

why not call a professional and pay them for the time and effort they spent to educate themselves on how to work on these machines and make a living from it. fault 130 could be rps harness board or stator. now good luck figuring out the correct diagnostics and sizing for the machine.
just remember you blow the new board you have zero warranty and you just threw away the money you paid thinking things were just that simple to do

No lights mean No power. You could have a short circuit somewhere that burnt your power supply. You may have a bad connection- check wire/ connector from main - be careful of high voltage.
Make sure the controller Voltage & case colour is the same as the previous. F&P uses colour to 'fool' proof mismatch between model.
Fault 130 means RPS error signal. Check for corrosion on the connector of the Rotor Position Sensor and the Motor Controller module connector.
2) Check the contacts on the rotor positional sensor harness to see if any have been damaged. (Each set of contacts in the socket has two wipers. If the distance between these wipers varies between different contacts, replace the rotor positional sensor harness or repair connector but remember that visual check is not good enough because they carries small signal to e processor > 1000 rpm and subjected to vibration).
If good, Replace Rotor Position Sensor.
If Fault persist, replace Motor Controller module.
Once job done, you need to run the dianogistic and set the size before you ^x#)(!# yet another M/Controller again.
cheers.
