Fisher & Paykel WashSmart WA80T65GW1 (8kg) Questions & Answers (page 2 of 5)

Hi,
Look at which lights flash when the error noise occurs. Different combinations of lights flash for different errors so you can diagnose the problem that way.
Should be able to find what problem is indicated by your combination of flashing lights by doing a quick Google search. Should be a key in the manual or on their website. (We found out that way.)
Good luck

First - check the manual
Second - contact the company

Why shout?

You might need to pay them to remove the lint from the pump or something else inside could be clogged causing it to come up into the barrel but they wont do it for free even under warranty because they will blame you for the lint issue even though it says self cleaning, does it not? Look at your booklet. If it is a manufacturers issue you will not have to pay. I'm pretty sure it IS their issue as I've never had this priblem with any other machine so it must be the make of it. I washed a light summer doona once. If the little tag says I can, I shouldn't have to worry. So frustrating. Awful customer service. Try calling, though. Also, they might send out a complimentary lint thingie. Run a hot wash through it without clothes in, maybe add vinegar, that should help slightly. Its supposed to be 'self cleaning' but it bloody isnt believe me. The lint collector only does so much. Its $148 or more depending on the issue. Good luck

Hi I’m not sure but I had a wet floor as well and found the hot water hose was leaking from the clasp once I replaced hose was fine

Is Warranty - contact f&p for service.

There is no lint filter in this machine

Have you resolved this issue? I’ve got the same problem with my machine. I am so sick of that beeping alarm.

Replaced the hangers, $150 good as new

Suggest you contact F&P Customer Support at 1300 650 590

Replace the suspension rods

Yes!!!!! I have the answer. My machine is 3 days old, had the technician come out and it had him wondering THEN realised that the lid is a bit “warped” in the middle of you crouch down and look at it mine is slightly raised in the middle therefore the lock mechanism is not catching. He’s ordered a new lid yeyyy.

Thank-you, appreciate you taking the time to respond - happy washing.

Hi, there is not reset function and it is most likely you have a pump blockage. The machine senses that it has not been able to expel the water within an allotted time and will stop at that point and beep. I'd suggest you call a service person. This is a fairly common problem throughout the whole Fisher and Paykel range, but a simple fix

Product Review said they were going to give me a $20 Coles voucher for my last 4 reviews, but it was a scam.

Did you plug a light or something into the power point to see if it worked?
If power point works, then controller failed.

I was told by Product Review that I would receive a Coles $20 gift voucher after completing 4 reviews and they ripped me off -no voucher. I complained and they ignored me.

The fins would break off if the machine was repeatedly overloaded and the fins were under too much load. They are meant to swish the water and clothes, not drag the clothes. Better off replacing the agitator which is easy and you should be fine. Most F&P agitators last for the life of the machine, unless abused.

Thanks Trevor, appreciate you answering!
In doing a bit of research, it appears to be a common problem with this model. As I mentioned, it was already broken when I bought it unfortunately, so have cut my losses and bought a new machine. Cheers

Is that the full size version or the little stumpy one for that model? Full size one can be ordered online from Fisher and Paykel and prices are competitive. The stumpy one does not show up in the parts listing. Failing that, I have a spare.

Hi, i also need an agitator for the 8kg model, does anyone have one for sale? cheers
