Hi there
That fault is the pump blocked error (no change in water level).
i have a quick and easy way to solve this problem.

first turn the machine off then tilt the machine back and lean it on something(a chair or wall), look underneath, in the top right hand corner of the plastic outer boul you will see a small pump motor it has a fan on it spin this fan and if it is hard to turn that means there is somthing stuck in the drain pump keep turning the fan and try to free whatever is stuck in the pump, then try the machine on spin again all goin well the object in the pump should come out with the drain water(doing this will not harm the machine) if the object is still stuck you will need to get the water out of the machine (bailing or siphioning will work) and tilt the machine back again and take the wires off the pump and there should be a white tab on the boul holding the pump on pull this tab and twist the pump anticlockwise about a quarter turn(you will need a few towels or a boul or bucket to catch the water) and it should come off exposing the blockage.
Hope this solves your Problem.

Fisher & Paykel GW708\r\nWashing machine stops and starts filling then starts beeping and the long wash light 1 and the 7th light are lit up. If I turn off the power I can restart and eventually fill machine but it will error again when it needs to fill up again.
Please help.

hi there the first thing ill tell you is that the washer needs to drain water before it can spin there are only a few factors that prohibit this operation a faulty lid switch secound a blown or blocked water pump being a fisher paykel they are famous for jammed water pumps as they decided when they built the sysyem to turn the water pump upside down this causes a lot of stress on the water pump see if you can lay the hose on the ground and get all the water out i belive the machine will then start to spin dry. in this case it is the water pump and have it replaced its a simple operation if you can order the part fromf/p you simply turn the washer on its side depress the white latch next to the pump turn the pump clockwise till ity release from machine disconnect power supply plug and fit new unit as per reverse


best of luck

Fault code 39 is a pressure tube fault which means the the pressure tube has become blocked or kinked or has fallen off completely. Check first and make sure the pressure tube, the clear small hose running from the motor controller module to the bottom of the tub, is not blocked/kinked, not air leaks, no moisture, and properly attached to both the motor controller module and the tub. Replace the pressure if leaking or clear it if blocked or has moisture.

The pressure sensor is at fault if there's no any issue found with the pressure tube. But the pressure sensor is an integral part of the motor controller which make s replacing it as the only viable solution.

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
