We purchased a fisher Paykel washing machine around a couple of years ago. it does not have a lint catcher and continually puts lint on dark clothing, appearing dirtier than when we put the clothes into the machine?? We have tried different types of powder, liquid detergents but all do the same thing. Gwen balchin

SOURCE: Fisher & Paykel Washing Machine

Close your external inlet valve to the machine. Disconnect hose of washing machine from the valve; keep a bucket there and open the valve to see if water comes well. Next check the screens (filters) on the hose, clean well. This shd be done on both ends of the hose/s. Refit carefully. Check for leaks. If water still (don't forget to open the valve!) does not enter machine change the inlet valve of your wash machine. Can be done yourself. Rate me pl...........if helped.

SOURCE: deposits on clothing

Be sure to seperate lint givers with lint taker, do not mix towels etc with clothes that are attracted to lint. Also be sure water levels are sufficient

SOURCE: smeared clothes

Hi!

You can look at this as to how lint/whitening from your clothes can be removed---

This is due to un-dissolved soap and is worst in a colder climate where the cold water entering the washer is much colder than normal.

Cutting usage to 1/2 of what it says will still wash good and also cut your chances of getting "whiting" on your clothes.

Over loading the washer is another cause: Even if the agitator is suppose to go back and forth, the clothes are not. If you can hold the lid button on your washer so you can watch the clothes wash, they should 'roll" in the basket and not go back and forth like the agitator. The clothes will go down the side of the agitator, across the bottom of the basket, up the side of the basket and across the top of the water in a rolling motion. Overloading is not just too many clothes but also too little water for the size of the load is another way of having a overloaded wash load.

Water temp is also important: Use a thermometer to test the temp of the incoming water in your washer. Hot water should be close to 140 degrees F.

SOURCE: Is powder or liqued detergent better for front

They are trying to make money off you!!!!!!! LIQUID!!!! Dont ever!!! use powder soap in your front loader. Powder soap doesnt dissolve all the way and then gets into the bearings of the washer and eats them away! This caused about a 450 dollar repair for your repairman. Never use powder soap.

We have a Fisher and Paykel Excellence 7.5 SmartDrive 9. I think we lost wedding ring through it. Do these machines have a coin catcher in them somewhere?

have a look under the machine where the tub hose goes to the pump
the catcher is in that hose
the tub hose will go in the top and the pump hose in the side so that any items drop to the bottom and are not put through the pump impeller
