Fisher & Paykel WashSmart Front Loader Questions & Answers (page 2 of 6)

Our Fisher and Paykel front loader leaks water while washing cant seem to find the cause any ideas

Why does the drain system turn off and on about 30 times during the spin?

How to remove the lower front kick plate

I power on then try to select cycle by turning knob however machine turns off. Sometimes I will move to cycles other times several. No error code on display.

For some garments, I'd hand wash them and use the washer's spin cycle to dry it.
My son has a WH7560J2 washer. Ever since he bought it 3 years ago, the spin cycle doesn't work to dry hand-washed business shirts. He finds this extremely annoying.
I intend to get a WH8060P2 to replace an existing Fisher & Paykel top loader. Could any user tell if the spin cycle of the WH8060P2 can be used independently to spin dry washings?
Thank you.

Hi, is it normal not to see water in the glass door of the machine. I feel it’s not rinsing properly, clothes feel like they have detergent left in them. I am using liquid detergent and have reduced the recommended dose by half. Any ideas? Thanks

Can you soak in this machine? It looks like it doesn’t have a soak option but are you able to pause it allowing it the soak before continuing the cycle?

I purchased this washer today and the drain hose is to short

Does this machine tangle clothes

When my washer drains on any cycle it will drain for about 8 seconds and then stop for 5 seconds and then drains and stops again, it keeps doing this until all water is drained. Is this normal?

I had trouble with the water not draining (error 37) and I cleaned the filter but no success. I removed the pump but I forgot to photograph the wiring. One is a single wire and the other has 2 wires. Where does each wire go, L or A?
Beautiful quiet machine! We have quite a few Fisher & Paykel appliances in our house and we recommend any of your products to our friends. Kindest Regards, Kevin.

I have just bought this amazing machine but have one question....how do I get the alarm to work when the washing cycle has finished

Does anyone know how to access the pump, ive got the clr filtr error coming up, ive cleaned it out 3 times, blown back through the drain hose, including with water in which its coming out through the filter with no blockages, i can hear an activating sound from the pump but it isnt moving any water, which makes me think that possibly something might be stuck in the pump itself

My washing machine randomly (most washes) leaks from the detergent drawer and there is a lot of water on the floor. Is there a simple solution before I call someone to look at it?

Keeps stopping saying filter need to be cleaned . Filter has been cleaned and flushed. Any help?

Had our machine installed, one successful wash now says error CLR Fltr.

Checked filter nothing there, moved the little fan at the back to reset but still no success.

Error message still there.

Any ideas thanks

Have had my Washsmart for 3 weeks. Worked perfectly fine until yesterday when it had an error code that there is no water getting to the machine. There is. I decided to put it on a short cycle and it worked perfectly, but now I am using the longer cycle the code keeps appearing. Any suggestions?

How much does the WH8560P2(8.5kg) machine weigh?

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 go to wash cycle for most washes.

is there a way to make the end of cycle buzzer louder ?? our previous machine (Miele) was great you could hear it in the house as our laundry is in the garage but this one is so quiet i find myself having to physically check every 5 min and its killing my ocd lol.
thanks
