Fisher & Paykel WashSmart WH7560P2 (7.5kg) Questions & Answers

It doesn't sound right, after my wash is finished I wipe liquid from the door and rubber.
My suggestion is, if, you don't already do it, is, do a drum clean by running a 1/2hr wash
with no clothes or detergent, just water (cold) and if you can watch when rinse cycle is on
it may give you an idea if you need a repairman. This is my best guess I hope it works they
are a great machine.

Hi thanks for the tip I’ll give it a go. The machine is only 2 weeks old I hope I don’t need a repair man! Thanks.

I don't know of an alarm relevant to the washing cycle. Our machine does several quiet beeps when the final rinse cycle has finished. I recall one reviewer commenting that the beeps were not loud enough to be heard from the other end of the house, and that it would have been helpful to have loud beeps because the next lot of nappies could be put in instantly. With our machine, you would not hear the beeps if you were more than one room away from the machine. That suits us. Perhaps it's worth looking to see how long the cycle is going to take so that you don't need the alarm or loud beeps?

This happens to me and won't finish the cycle until error is fixed.

I’m having the same issue, did you end up resolving the issue?

I’m not sure about that. Does it say you can in the instructions? The beep is loud enough for me.

If it is not in the manual .. no

There is nothing in the manual about it. So i assume i cant turn it up. Its just a little hard to hear the beep at the end of the cycle with the laundry door shut. Sleeping baby in the next room so we don't want to leave the door open.

I'm currently having the same problem

Not easy.
fit the part that has the screw and put screw in to hold wire.
now fit the wire around the seal and, still holding the end, remove the screw without losing that end and fit through the hook in the wire, then re attach.
like I said, not easy.

Does anyone know if there is a way to may the 'Everyday' wash cycle the 'default' wash cycle that is selected when the washing machine first starts up?
The Everyday wash cycle only takes 60 min verses more than 2 hours with the default 'Cottons' wash cycle and we have been using the Everyday wash cycle as the goto wash cycle for most washes.

I placed a load in the washing machine and a round metal piece came off from the door rubber how do I get it back on

Dozens of ideas, need a lot more info.

No.
Most detergents don't start working till the water temp reaches approx 25C.
Being a water saving device, this prevents the detergent becoming a paste and damaging clothes.
(which customers wrongly complain is the fault of the washing machine)

If you select a higher temperature then it will draw water from the hot water line and not use the inbuilt heater. If I use it this way, I run the hot water tap Into the laundry sink first so the washer gets hot water as soon as it needs it. Don't worry that the water temp will be too high as the volume used, as long as you don't have a full heavy load, to do any damage to your clothes

Thanks for that information. I'm told the washer heats the water to 20 deg with it's in build heater even when connected to the hot water and a hot wash is selected. I'll confirm if this is correct by watching my amp meter and selecting a hot wash.
Cheers,

is water coming out drain hose when on drain cycle?
If not then hose/ bloked, pump has bobby pin/ hair band/ needle or something preventing it spinning.
Check spigot at end of drain pipe.

Contact dealer or manufacturer

The black flakes could be due to pilling, poor quality washing detergent. I don't think its the washing machine.

My Mum's washer is doing the same thing. She has done a drum wash and checked the filter as well. She doesn't use fabric softener and uses a good quality washing powder in it. I would be interested to know if you have been able to fix the problem, so I can tell her how to fix it. Thanks.

Seriously? Only use the cold wash setting. On my F&P it is the bottom of the temp settings. From the top the temps are 90, 60, 40, 30, and Cold. Press the button under the temps until "Cold" is selected. The water heater will not engage, and the water temp will be whatever temp is coming out of your cold tap. You might have to double check and change the water temp to "Cold" each time you wash, because the default temp setting for each cycle is different. If this is a problem, don't buy a washing machine that heats its own water next time.

Are you serious kesbek ? You obviously know nothing about this machine. COLD setting is a controlled cold set by the machine at 20 degrees, so if your water is colder than this, as most in winter will be, it heats the cold water coming in to this temperature. BTW, finding a machine that doesn't heat its own water is quite a task and what I wanted in the first place that is why I chose a machine with both hot and cold water inlets.

Really? Sounds like an issue to raise with the company for repairs.
