Fisher Paykel EcoSmart GWL15 Logo
Anonymous Posted on Aug 08, 2013

I have a F&P Washer Model GWL15, Ecosmart, S/N: LHU768862, 6 years old. Replaced the water inlet control valves, no change. The machine fills normally and stops filling, goes to the wash cylce,(normal wash cycle), but the agitator /motor never starts. I can mnaually advance to the rinse cycle, but the motor still will not run. The water pump works and drains the hopper. A beeping, (every second) continues to sound till manually shutting off the machine. Tried a wash cycle again with same results. Could the motor be bad? Thank You for your help.

With no water in the hopper can you turn the bowl and agitator turn by hand. If not easy to turn by hand the seal and bearings need replacing.

Fisher paykel ecosmart washer won't fill or complete cycle

It can't get enough water so it flashers these lights
to tell you to turn your water on,
Your water valves are not fully opening to let enough water in.
You will need new water valves.

The water trickles out very slow when it is filling the machine. I have a Fisher and Paykel GW712 washing machine.

The two things you need to look at is the screens on the inlet of the washer, thes can get plugged with sediment and block water flow, take the hoses off the machine and look for the screens, either in the hose or water inlet connection. Second is the inlet valve, AI will include a couple of pictures of this. If you have an ohm meter all you have to do is check for continuity across the valve, if there is none the valve is bad and needs replaced.
The control panel lifts off by removing two phillips screws on the back of the control panel. The panel then flips over. The picture below shows what it looks like with the control panel removeddcramer531_29.jpg The inlet valve is on the left.
Not shown above are Power Control and Pressure Sensing Module, which plugs into the water inlet valve nipple, and the tech sheet, which you'll find folded up to the left of the water inlet valve. The tech sheet gives detailed instructions for entering diagnostic mode and interpreting the binary diagnostic code generated by the LED display on the control panel touch pad. anew inlet will look like this.dcramer531_30.jpg or very similar, depending on the model.

GWL15 starts to fill, water shuts off & water coming in slows to a trickle. Hot & Cold lights flash, machine beeps. If filled with buckets of water cycle will finish.

A common fault with F&P machines is in the water inlet valves.It is not afvisable to exchange the hot and cold valves because they are different. The faulty valve should be replaced. . Goodluck.....Nomess

I have a Fisher & Paykel GWL15 and I have not found what is making the squilling noise when the washer starts to fill and when it is in the rinse cycle. I previously was a appliance repairman and in GE...

More likely to be the pump. Right after it lets water in it recirculates the water. To find out start the cycle. When you hear the noise, disconnect the wires going to the pump and see if it stops. The pump is on the bottom. To get to it just tip the machine back.

My fisher and paykel is filling really slowly and stops during the fill cycle and has to be started again. Any ideas?

Is this a dishwasher or washing machine. If it is a washer you may just have residue in the inlet valve filter(s). Turn the water off at the wall and take off the hoses, look inside of the valve, there is a screen that can be pulled out, often the hot water lines are full of minerals that break loose and end up clogging these filters. Clean it, reinsert it and see if that makes a difference. If not you may have a faulty inlet valve.

Kenmore top load washer Model No. 4225090 fills very very slow.

The strainers are located at the washing machine inlet connections where you hooked the hoses.

Ecosmart washer will not stop filling

It needs a new fill valve. These are not expensive and you can easily do this yourself.

Hot and cold water flow in very slow

Close your faucet valve & unscrew your hoses to check screens on hoses & machine. Clean out well. Water shd be in good pressure at faucet. Refit, check for leaks. If this is not the problem change your inlet valve, it is easily done. Will tell u shortly where to get spares.

Washer

Probably your inlet pipe is clogged, or not open sufficiently. Plug off the wall, turn off the inlet pipe, disconnect tube to check carefully if anything is blocking the fine screen on both sides of the pipe. Also check the machine screen where water comes to the machine. It is good to close the inlet valve after your washing is done.
