Fisher and Paykel Washer leaking water

My 4 month old fisher Paykel washer seems to leak in the spin cycle..this just started about a month ago. The repair man was out and said the cause was : not using HE laundry soap. After using the HE soap, leak is still there... Call into repairman to return.. any ideas of what it might be ??

    Update: Repairman back out.. said it was the top of the bucket leaking and he will order part and return... When he returned he replaced the diverter valve and pump... No more leak !!!

    hummmm .. he must have talked to someone that knew what they were doing...

    My Fisher and Paykel washer just started to leak during the spin cycle too.  It is leaking from the top (may be the top bucket leak the prior post referred to).

    My Fisher Paykel ecosmart washer just started showing these same conditions. it appears that water is coming out of the top of the lid as i've found the area around the lid to be wet as well as water on the outside of the washer near the front corner. where is this diverter valve that is mentioned and where can you purchase one?

SOURCE: Fisher and Paykel Washer leaking water

hi there,

the leak underneath could be from the pump or the drain hose. some washers have a tub to pump boot that sometimes springs a leak.

for a 4-month-old washer, i would certainly hope you pay nothing. F&P appliances come with at least a 2 year warranty. check your user & care guide for warranty information.

My Fisher and Paykel washer is leaking water from bottom back right side in the rinse cycle. Any thoughts?

Question edited to correct name of maker, (Fisher PayPal :>)
Question moved to one of their categories.

No clue to whether a top loader or a front loader, which is why we ask for full 'make model (what it is)'.

If it is only in the rinse cycle, and if it is a front loader it is likely to be spray of a crack in the box that is the detergent drawer and fabric softener mixer. The only way to find out is to remove the top after a wash and look for where the water came from.

Some other ideas here

Washer leaking water while spinning

Check the drain hose where it leaves the machine, if the square section of it is not in the plastic housing it will cut on the cabinet, if this has happened replace the hose they are difficult to repair, Other possibilities, pump is leaking, and check that the inlet hoses are not leaking and have washers in every connection.

Fisher and Paykel Washer Leaking

For those with water on floor after wash, check my post on "eco smart won't drain, smells hot". It could be something clogging drainage area at very bottom of the tub. I couldn't see the sock that was stuck in my FP's drain when I looked from the top between the white outer tub and the wash tub--everything looked fine. Then I removed the black motor/white plastic housing piece--Tip back washer and you should see this black electric motor/white housing on bottom. see my post for how to remove and check for plugged drain. it's really pretty easy.

don't know about outer tub holes, but glad i don't have that problem.

i hate my fisher paykel washer/dryer. i can't wait to sell this house--i will leave them here and get a new front load Duette for my next house!
