Servis Quartz 6000 Error Codes
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. _____________

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 actioning advice
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 are full of 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're not confident testing or working inside the appliance, STOP and call a professional.
