What is code 12 as an error message? - Fisher and Paykel Washing Machines

  • Sam Aug 03, 2014

    Hi 2trp, I want to help you with your question, but I need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box? Is it please possible to provide model number of the washing machine and also after what operation did you get the error message.

  • 2trp Aug 03, 2014

    Hi Sam. It is the Intuitive model about 12 years old. The error code comes up (with beeps) after about 15 seconds from pushing Start. Just time enough to push advance, and for the selected option to make a very brief start.

  • 2trp Aug 05, 2014

    Model in IW509. Tried yesterday to get it going. All cycles (If advance) 10 seconds then starts. Makes noises for (say) 10 more seconds the error code 64.

  • 2trp Aug 05, 2014

    Tried last night and it went, so did all the washing. Tried today mid morning, error code 64. Maybe watter preasure, but lower in day than at night. Also starting on spin cycle (No water), still error 64. I bet it will go again tonight??

I wish to refer you to the list of Intuitive washing machine fault codes at the following website.
But first turns mains power off and back on after a little delay and check if fault is still there.

Fisher Paykel Washer Fault Codes

The fault code 12 means the flood protection error. It is likely the inlet water is coming at a faster rate then the controller of the machine expects. Try and turn down the inlet water tap to see if it makes a difference. However if the fault occurs within 15 secs of starting the wash cycle then I am suspecting some sensor failure, ie, the flood level sensor switch may be faulty. I am not sure what your exact model is so hard to recommend which part. But you should be able to work this out from the attached site for service manuals based on your model.

    If you are getting error 64 now that means something is wrong with the control module and it is causing these erratic errors. The full service manual can be downloaded from this site - IW509 is a phase 5 model.http://www.manualslib.com/download/55608...

    Many Thanks. Greatly appreciated. New equilivants now about $800 so repair money may be better spent putting towards new Washer?

Fuel 12/Fault 12 Error Message

check the mass airflow sensor circuit; thats what the owners manual says DTC code 12 pertains to, but to me it sounds like a fuel pump. i had the same problem, it would turn over, but not crank. make sure youre getting spark and everything else first because the fuel pump is located in the gas tank, and requires removing the entire tank to access it, which easily can turn into a 4-6 hour job.

Paper feed error on machine

I am going to assume that your exact error message is No Paper Fed. This is mentioned on page 12-3 in Chapter 12, Troubleshooting and routine maintenance, of the Users Manual.

Since you said that paper is in the unit, the most likely cause is a jam. See pages 12-5 through 12-8 of the Users Manual for instructions on clearing jams.

It is possible that the error message is a "false positive." Power down the unit for at least one minute, then power it up again.

If the aforementioned advice does not resolve the problem, the printer probably needs to be serviced. You can find authorized service centers within a certain radius of the ZIP code of your choice by following this procedure:

1. Visit http://www.brother-usa.com/Service/.
2. Select Fax/MFC (color) in the --Please select product group-- selector box.
3. Type the ZIP code of your choice (presumably your home ZIP code or work ZIP code) into the Zip Code: text box.
4. Click on the radio button for the desired radius from your specified ZIP code. (If you want to "walk" your unit into a repair center, click the 20 miles radio button.)
5. Click the Next button. A list of authorized service centers should appear.

LG error code 7777 on firmware upgrade

According to Sprint, If your phone already has the most current firmware installed it will generate this error code when you try to update it. Error code 7777 simply means there is no firmware update available. So no worries, you're good.

I got the same error and message on my LG LX370 when I tried to download the latest firmware on my new phone. I called Sprint and we tried just about everything before a supervisor confirmed that that was all the error code meant.
