I found these error codes for the very old Servis Quarts washing machines -

F1 Water temperature circuit faulty

F2 Too long to fill

F3 Water not pumped out properly

F4 Motor fault

F5 Heater circuit fault

F7 Motor fault

Note, they may be different from modern Servis error codes and will be different to other washing machine manufacturer's codes. _____________

Servis Quartz 6000 fault code list for older models

The problem
The thread provides a fault code reference for very old Servis Quartz 6000 washing machines rather than a single machine fault. The stated codes are: F1 water temperature circuit faulty, F2 too long to fill, F3 water not pumped out properly, F4 motor fault, F5 heater circuit fault, and F7 motor fault. It is also noted that these codes may differ from modern Servis models and other brands.
Likely cause
Model-specific fault code meanings for older Servis Quartz 6000 machines were being identified. No individual appliance diagnosis or confirmed failed component was reported.
What fixed it
Use the posted code list as a guide for older Servis Quartz 6000 machines. The accepted reply suggested basic non-invasive checks linked to each code, but no single repair was carried out or confirmed in the discussion.
Checks to try
  • F1: check wiring to the temperature sensor/thermostat and the sensor itself
  • F2: check water tap is fully on, inlet hose is not kinked, inlet valve filter is not blocked, and consider low water pressure
  • F3: check pump filter, drain hose, sink spigot for blockages, and whether the drain pump is running
  • F4/F7: check for motor-related issues including wiring faults, tachometer problems, carbon brushes, or control board drive issues
  • F5: check heating element, thermostat/sensor, associated wiring and connections, and possible heater insulation fault
Parts or tools mentioned
  • temperature sensor/thermostat
  • inlet valve filter
  • pump filter
  • drain pump
  • carbon brushes
  • tachometer
  • heating element

Safety: Always isolate the appliance from the mains before removing panels or inspecting internal parts. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Thanks for posting these. That looks like a useful list for the older Servis Quartz 6000 range, and you’re quite right to point out that old Servis fault codes often do not match newer Servis models, and certainly won’t match other makes.

For anyone using this list, these are sensible first checks for each code:

1. F1 – Water temperature circuit faulty Check the wiring to the temperature sensor/thermostat, and the sensor itself. Poor connections are common on older machines.

2. F2 – Too long to fill Make sure the water tap is fully on, inlet hose isn’t kinked, and the inlet valve filter isn’t blocked. Low water pressure can also cause this.

3. F3 – Water not pumped out properly Check the pump filter, drain hose, and sink spigot for blockages. Also listen to see whether the drain pump is running.

4. F4 / F7 – Motor fault These usually point towards motor-related issues such as worn carbon brushes, wiring faults, tachometer problems, or the control board not driving the motor correctly.

5. F5 – Heater circuit fault Check the heating element, thermostat/sensor, associated wiring, and connections. On older machines, an insulation fault in the heater is also possible.

Always isolate the appliance from the mains before removing panels or inspecting internal parts. If live testing, control board diagnosis, or motor circuit checks are needed, it’s best left to a qualified appliance engineer.

Useful information for owners of these older Servis machines.

SAFETY FIRST: READ BEFORE ACTING ON THIS GUIDANCE

  • Never work on a live appliance

    Always unplug it at the mains before going near it with any tools.

  • Never attempt gas work

    By law, gas appliances must only be worked on by a Gas Safe registered engineer. If your fault involves gas, stop and call a professional. Do not attempt it yourself.

  • Watch for sharp edges

    Outer panels are smooth, but internal parts have sharp machined edges. Wear protective gloves and arm sleeves.

  • Water appliances can leak

    Turn off the water supply before disconnecting any hoses.

  • Know your limits

    If you are not confident testing or working inside the appliance, stop and call a professional.
