Is the lid lock tang on lid broken.
2.9 Lid Lock
The Phase 7 Washer uses the same lid lock that is used on
the Phase 6 series 11 & 12 machines. The difference being is that the lid is now locked for the entire cycle. When the lid is locked the Lid Locked LED will illuminate. Once the spin
has completed, the lock will release and the lid can be
opened. To open the lid during the cycle the
START/PAUSE button must be pressed, the machine will
come to a halt, and the lid locked LED will extinguish.
If the lid is left open, the machine will be unable to lock the lid
and the cycle will be halted. The machine will play a tune
and the lid lock will flash until the lid is closed and START/PAUSE is pressed.
• If the lid-lock fails in the closed position, the locked lid can be forced upwards and out of the
lock. Note: This is the only time in which we would recommend doing this.
• If the harness is damaged, the complete lid lock assembly will need to be replaced.
If the power supply is cut during the spin cycle, the machine will keep the lid locked until the rotor has ceased to turn (3 to 10 secs). Only then will it release the lock. The motor is acting like a generator and allows the lock to stay energized under the bowls inertia.

How to start clean me cycle ?

Switch to Powdered Detergent and you wont have to clean your washer. Liquids leave a smelly, corrosive residue on the inside of the machine, use only Powder and leave the lid up when not in use to defeat the slime!

WL80T65CW1. Why is it displaying fault 234 and will not cycle?

Replace just the lid lock assembly to start with and see how it goes. Lids are quite expensive and don't usually need replacing. You can always get a lid later if you still have problems.

Why has our washer stopped working through a cycle and why wont it turn on again

The most common problem with AquaSmart is the pump.
The pump has gone bad and blown the motor controller board.
Some AquaSmart machines display the wrong Error code (49)
witch is not the correct code for this problem.
Pump and motor controller board need replacing.
Maybe cheaper to buy a good secondhand machine.

My aquasmart fisher and paykel washing machine flashes up with error 235 about 2 mins after starting

Sounds like the 'lid lock' has shorted out. They're not completely waterproof and have seen pins completely blown out inside them. Should measure 73 ohms (or very close to it) across the terminals. Hope this helps.
