Hisense washing machine 001 code

Sorry you are having this trouble, especially on a machine only 4 months old. If the display shows 001 and it still will not start after the fascia, door lock and motor have been changed, the fault is likely elsewhere in the start-up or control circuit rather than those parts.

1. Check exactly what happens when you press Start. Does it lock the door, try to drain, click, or stay completely dead? That detail helps narrow it down. Many washers first check the door lock feedback, water level signal and drain state before beginning.

2. Ask Pacifica to check the wiring loom and plugs between the main PCB, user interface, door lock, motor and pressure system. A loose pin, damaged loom or poor connector can cause repeated non-start faults even after parts are replaced.

3. Check the pressure system. If the pressure chamber or pressure hose is blocked, split or disconnected, the machine can think it is already full of water and refuse to begin properly.

4. Confirm the drain pump is actually being energised at the start of a cycle. If it is trying to drain continuously, that can point to a pressure sensing or control issue.

5. If there is a mains filter, internal fuse issue or fault on the main control board, changing the front panel alone would not cure it. The main PCB and wiring need proper diagnosis.

6. Because it is only 4 months old, I would push for a full warranty re-attendance or replacement rather than more random part swapping.

Important, isolate the appliance from the mains before inspecting any internal parts. Any mains testing should be left to a qualified engineer.

If you want, reply with exactly what the machine does from pressing Start to showing 001, and I can help narrow it down further.

Hi aR,

First and most important, please don’t be tempted to open it up or check anything inside yourself. It’s under warranty and Pacifica are already involved. If anyone other than the authorised agent works on it, Hisense can and probably will use that to refuse further warranty cover, and you’d be left with a dead machine and no comeback. Leave it sealed and let them carry the responsibility for fixing it.

On the technical side, if the user interface, door lock and motor have all been changed and it still won’t start, they’ve been chasing the fault in the wrong place. When you next speak to Pacifica, it’s reasonable to ask them to look at:

- The main control board. On these machines the front panel is the display and buttons, but the main PCB sits separately and does the actual work. If the fascia has been changed and nothing has improved, the main board is the obvious next suspect. - The wiring loom and connectors between the main board, the user interface, the door lock and the motor. A pinched or damaged loom from the factory will give exactly this pattern, where parts get swapped and nothing changes. - The pressure sensor and pressure hose. If the machine thinks it already has water in it, or can’t read the level, it will refuse to start regardless of what else has been replaced.

Three parts changed with no result should be enough for them to escalate it rather than keep guessing, so ask for that. Also make a note of every visit date and every part they’ve fitted, because you may need it.

Which brings me to the other route. Under the Consumer Rights Act, your contract is with the retailer, not Hisense or Pacifica. At four months old the fault is presumed to have been there from the start, and once a repair has been attempted and failed, you’re entitled to ask the retailer for a replacement or a refund rather than putting up with more repair visits. Contact the retailer in writing, tell them the machine has failed, that the manufacturer’s agent has attended and replaced three parts without curing it, and that you want a replacement under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Most retailers will sort it at that point rather than argue.

Whatever happens, don’t let anyone talk you into doing anything to the machine yourself. Keep it as it is until it’s either fixed or taken away.
