Fisher & Paykel FabricSmart WA8560P1 (8.5kg) Questions & Answers

cost

My machine is a wash smart WA 856OG1 ( 8.5kg). The autodrain function is a pain. Is there a way that it can be switched off, to enable soaking for more than 2 hours. There is already a lid lock function, so this feature is not necessary and removes one of the functions of a top loader.

Hi, I bought my washing machine around 3 months ago from Winnings. It seems to work well, except for very excessive motor noise when it is draining water out after washing, or after rinsing. At other times such as when washing or rinsing or spinning it is very quiet. is this normal? no error message comes up but the " brrm brmm" type noise when emptying is a disturbance and sounds a bit strange, and I bought the machine because it was meant to be quiet. Once the water starts coming in again the noise stops, and the wash is good. Should I get a technician to look at it?
The lid is also locked after the washing cycle so I cant check on what is happening. Is this correct? On my old machine it unlocked after any spinning for rinsing etc, and only locked when the agitator was going.

Just bought the washing machine a week ago and I cannot use warm or hot cycle. Cold cycle has no issue. Every time when I choose the warm or hot cycle option my continuous flow hot heater system will have an error code (flame failure) and therefore ceases the hot water flow. How to resolve this issue? Thanks.

Wew have had a fabric smarter a couple of months now it keeps moving out from the position where we have installed it after each wash cycle.

Suspect it is the spin cycle which causes the problem

How do we stop this happening?

Thanks
