Solving operating problems
Pressing POWER does not turn the machine on
Is the power switched on at the wall?
Switch the power off at the wall and wait 60 seconds before turning the power on again.
Could your household power supply be at fault? Try plugging in another electrical appliance.
Pressing START / PAUSE does not start the fill
Are both the hot and cold taps turned on?
Are the inlet hose filters blocked?
Is DELAY START set?
Filling continuously
Check that the machine is not siphoning (refer to page 3).
Not spinning properly
Is the load out of balance? Refer to pages 17, 20 and 25.
Check the machine is level and does not rock in any direction (refer page 5).
The machine may have a suds build-up.
Spin speed sounds slower than it should
The clothes are unevenly distributed in the bowl, your washer has compensated by lowering
the spin speed.
Machine is continually going out of balance
Check the machine is level and does not rock in any direction (refer to page 5).
Too much water for load (refer to page 17).
Too much or too little water when filling on AUTO water level
The machine may still be in the process of determining the correct water level for the load
(refer to page 17).
Some loads do not suit AUTO water level, eg pillows, bedding, large bulky garments.
Manually select the water level.
Noises
Banging – load is out of balance (refer to pages 17, 20 and 25).
Other noises – refer to page 29.
Small puddle of water coming from under the machine
The water level is too high for the amount of clothes. This has caused excessive splashing.
Select a lower water level (refer to page 17).
Large bulky, garments (eg pillows, duvets) can cause splashing. Wash on HANDWASH cycle
(refer to page 20).
If the problem persists contact your Fisher & Paykel Dealer or Authorised Repairer (refer to page 38).
