Mend Fisher & Paykel 7.5 smart drive Smart Wash Starts

I need to fix my f&p 7.5 smart drive ?

It dose not seem to wash
When you first go to wash it starts to fill but after
A few seconds it's like stop start filling then it beeps
With the lights green long wash and second last orange and last red spin light on and then try to reset it by turning it off then back on but same thing applies.
I've looked all connection under the panel and no corrosion looked at balance switch and it's all good and works with no restriction cleaned around where lid slides in and out with no obstruction for the sensor and works. Water presser is there with no obstruction so I'm stumped what else can I do ??! Please help!! Oh tryed different cycles and no different??

Those lights that are showing when it beeps is the error code. In this case it means the RPS is faulty. RPS is a small circuit board mounted on top of the motor. It is a rotor position sender. It tells the main control board what position the motor is in so it can start turning. Lay the machine down on the front panel. Remove the rotor bowl on the motor, this will expose the copper winding stator. Loosen about half way the 4 bolts holding the stator and pull the stator down so you can remove the RPS on top. Wires just plug in to RPS. Before you remove it look for the mark where the centre of RPS is ( a slot in the plastic rim) and make sure the new RPS is put back with that mark aligned or else it won't run.
