Top 20 Fisher and Paykel Fisher & Paykel Washer Questions & Answers

Check the drain pump, it may be overheating and cutting out.

this sounds like a computer error asthe first and last lights is an error code 129 which does not exist if its the first and second to last light then its a sensor fault

If it is out of balance it will automatically return to a wash cycle to try and redistribute the clothes more evenly. Maybe the out of balance switch is faulty. More likely though is a faulty control board. If that then get a new washing machine. That model is over 20 years old. Not worth spending money on it.

Could be a overheating pump. hope you got it checked out! probably blew the board when the pump went.

failure to drain on these is normakky a blocked or faulty pump

this is a 130 faulty which is a faulty rotory position sensor

If it is really loud and noisy when on spin it will almost certainly be worn or rusty bearings. Workshop job to dismantle and replace the parts.

if you have a 51 fault the machine must be a diverter valve model machine which has a water save function,check the diverter has nothing jammed in it and that the soleniod is ok with a multi meter if it passes both checks then it your main computer board

If the machine has a soak button on the panel, when pushed, it will fill and wash and then it will stop for around 2 hours. Then it will continue the rest of the cycle. If no soak button is on your model then it won't do any of that.

there is no cleaning as such,but if your havig drainage problems then remove pump check for anythining that might jam it and lookat the electrical windings for any discoloutation if there is replace pump

There is no reset for these. If you are getting error code 48,49,50 your motor controller board is faulty.

do you have any idea where its leaking from?

Please refer later post on this topic.

The motor controller board could have a faulty water valve mosfet. have part replaced by tech or replace motor controller board.

the motor controller needs replacing. this fault is not servicable at home.

40. (00101000) Bowl Dis-engage Fault While carrying out a bowl check, the Motor Control Module has found that the bowl is not engaged even though the pressure sensor indicates that the bowl is empty. The Motor Control Module continues to check for 2 minutes, after which time it displays this fault. The first two areas to check are the clutch and the pressure tube. If these two appear correct, then the fault could be in the pressure sensor in the Motor Control Module. Primary Source: Mechanical. Action: 1) Check that there are no clothes or other foreign objects preventing the clutch from re-engaging. Excessive suds can stop the bowl rotating. 2) If the machine is empty of water, carry out a clutch disassembly procedure and check the spline drive. 3) Next check that the pressure tube has not come off and that it is not kinked. Secondary Source: Motor Control Module. Action: Replace Motor Control Module.

change the board

Unplug it, wait a few minutes and plug it back in to reset.
