Fisher & Paykel QuickSmart Top Loader Questions & Answers (page 3 of 8)

my machine (5.5 kg) is less than two years old, last two washes I have found clear plastic beads the size of rice grains in the bottom of the machine after a wash ??? and making grunting noise ?? ....where are the beads coming from ??

Can you show me which one is the hot water inflow?

This machine I was given second hand. It appears that this smartdrive has been discontinued. On the touchpad, the plastic cover on the power button is cracked and broken. A small piece of plastic that makes contact with the contact on the power board has broken off underneath. Activating the power switch manually on the board brings up error code 00011110. Is it worth getting this fixed? I'm not sure how old it is but could be 10 years old.

My MW513 splashes water during the wash cycle. The water is running down the inside of the cabinet and evaporating leaving soap powder around the inner channel at the bottom and also presenting on the pedestal (feet) at the floor. Any ideas what causes this ?

My washer will start and stop dispensing water repeatedly for about 2 minutes before it stops and beeps with an error. It won’t spin or agitate during this time and I’ve tried turning it on with different settings (wash/rinse/spin/etc). It still drains water normally on that setting but will still stop after a minute or so. It worked fine 24hrs ago. Anyone come across this?

How do I get to the pump to fix it.i think it's got something stuck in it?

MW511, My laundry sink doesn't have a hot water valve connection on the tap but dont use hot water anyway, problem is when the machine is fulling up and partially through the first cycle water is coming out of the hot water inlet valve from the back of the machine. I've just hooked the hose up so that the excess water drains back to the sink, but its wasting water. Can anyone help?

My F&P smartdrive turns on and runs for ~5 mins then dies. It will not turn back on for ~20. This happens on all cycles, wash, rinse and spin. It can be agitating, emptying, or spinning when it dies.

There is a smell of something plastic getting hot, but not a burning smell. Seems like a fuse is being tripped and resetting.

Any ideas what is going on and how to fix it?

Does the 512 have a heater ?If so what is the wattage? Thank You.

Hi there I have had this fisher and paykel quicksmart machine for nearly 5 years and this morning it was completely dead with no power at all. Checked plugs and opened up but no blown fuse at all looks completely fine? Am I due for new washing machine already!?

Hi, I was selecting the wash cycle (like I normally would) and the machine made a click sound and then it lost all power. I have tried turning it off and on again and checked the outlet (which is still working with other appliances), but to no avail. Where do I start?

Hi? I would like to fix my machine or find out what to do with it or just get a new washing machine??
It beeps on every cycle. I thought I had put to much washing in but it will do it on a small wash.
I will empty the machine. And I can get it to do a wash. Then the next wash will beep a thousand times. I empty it start again it won't spin the wet clothes. So I have to take them to the laundry mat.
What should I Do?
