Fisher & Paykel WashSmart Top Loader 1st Gen Questions & Answers

My WashSmart 8.5 top loader is not turning on.
It started when I decided to clean my washer. Turn off the machine, unscrew the agitator and clean the surface carefully. When finished, I switch on the power point and turn on the machine the usual way and did not turn on.
I followed the User guide for this problem but it is not working as well. Please any help? Thank you

Hi there, I have a F&P 5.5Kg WA55t56GW1 washer which is a few years old and hasn't given us any problems at all. Just now, it has started beeping every 45 seconds without fail. I have unplugged the power lead from the wall but the sound continued. Could anyone assist with the reason for this please?
Thanks,
Glenn

Lid lock wont lock

I bought this washing machine late January 2020 to replace a F&P Smartdrive washing machine that I'd had for over 20years. The new machine is ok but it always beeps and flashes "no hot" when filling even though the hot water tap is obviously on. I have to pause and unpause to overcome this issue and it resets and starts again. This has been happening as since the second time I used it. This is becoming very frustrating as I have to wait around to pause/unpause to reset. My husband has checked the tap hose and it is fine. The load is hot at the end of the cycle so I can't understand why this is happening. Apart from this the machine works well. What can I do to try and fix this?

Hi, I have a Wash Smart 7kg washing machine (Model: WA70T60GW1) which has worked fine for some time however it now won't progress to the Rinse cycle. I have tried all the recommended fixes to no avail. I am continually getting three lights when it stops, the middle light on the wash cycle (light 3 of 5), the first light of the Rinse Cycle (from Left) and the Spin Cycle light (only one). Does anyone know what it means?

Our machine forwards the timer as it starts on wash cycle. In regular wash of 55 minutes, immediately after a minute of starting timer jumps to 49 minutes and then the wash cycle is stuck at 27 minutes. It does not move to Rinse cycle. No error code on machine. Can anyone help us with any solution.
Thanks in advance.
