WashSmart Front Loader

We just moved house and our new front load washing machine spills water when it is paused and the door is opened to add a extra item. It was work before the move, and seem to work ok when the cycle is allowed to complete without opening the door

Once the power is turned on and the settings selected you press “start” . The machine automatically starts, water first. Hope this helps.

WashSmart Front Loader

Today my Fisher & Paykel 6.0kg washing machine has decided not to work. It is filling up with water but does not start the cycle process and after 10 or so minutes it re drains the water out of the machine. Any advice or tips on what has caused this and what it could be?

WashSmart WH7560P2 (7.5kg)

I keep getting the clr fltr message even after I’ve cleaned it all on hands and knees. It’s still under warranty but I live an hour from anywhere so would prefer some advice here from F&P before I add three hours to your tech’s day.

WashSmart Front Loader

Hi our machine is brand new.
However in the spin cycle it vibrates uncontrollably, moves across the room and sounds like an airplane taking off. Wondering if anyone has any advice?
Have tried a slower spin speed. Different loads of washing etc. but still getting the same problem.
The machine has actually put some holes in the wall where it has hit the wall during the spin cycle.
Thanks in advance

Look in the Manual under faults, or Google it, there are some diy mechanics on utube or book a service call, remember according to Fair Trading the warranty is
"what would be deemed reasonable" not limited to what the manufacturer says.
Call Fair Trading for advice.
Good luck

WashSmart Front Loader

I have the front loader and I am happy with it mostly. My only gripe is the towels come out feeling like sandpaper. I have tried various spin speeds but doesn't make any difference. I have recently watch it on and off going through the cycle and find during rinse there is still soap bubbles visible. Today I have added another rinse cycle following the programmed one and the suds are still present. Actually just looked at it and they are plentiful. I have F&T liquid coldpower, used .5 of a cap so wouldn't think I am overusing. Any ideas?

Soap powder, its very bad for the environment and in particular our oceans. Best try a small cap full of laundry Liquid and pick one that says enviro friendly. Soap powders are full of "fillers" to make the contents of the box seem like your getting more for your money, they make the fabrics stiff with the residue, then they try to
sell you fabric softeners, which break down the fabrics. All in all its a con.

WashSmart WH8560P2 (8.5kg)

Can anyone please advise whether they’ve had a problem with their machine not filling with water above 30 degrees at start up? Pipes and water inlet work fine and have been checked for any damage, flow and blockages.
F&P will assist, at a cost. Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

Why is F&P product support so lousy?
After calling support regarding a leak from the WH8560P2, I waited for 75 minutes before giving up. I then found their live chat, and the person on that had no support strategy other than to schedule a service call.
Other whitewoods manufacturers, eg Bosch, can provide technical suggestions for things that can be tried.
