Why is my scan frost washing machine not working after powering it

If you have already tried all the logical troubleshooting tips and the Fisher and Paykel Top Loader washing machine model WA7060 is still not turning on, there may be a few potential causes:

1. Power supply issue: Check if the power outlet that the washing machine is connected to is working correctly. You can test the outlet with another appliance or device. If the outlet is not working, you may need to call an electrician to fix it.
2. Control module or power board failure: If the power supply is not the issue, then there may be a problem with the control module or power board of the washing machine. In this case, it may need to be replaced or repaired by a qualified technician.
3. Faulty power cord: The power cord may be damaged or faulty, causing the machine not to turn on. Check if the power cord is properly connected and if there are any signs of damage. If there are, replace the cord with a new one.
4. Circuit breaker tripped: Check if the circuit breaker for the washing machine has tripped. If it has, reset the breaker and try turning the machine on again.

If you have already tried all these troubleshooting steps and the washing machine is still not turning on, it is best to contact a qualified technician to diagnose and fix the issue. They will have the tools and expertise to identify the root cause of the problem and recommend the best solution.

First listen inside the freezer section, and see if you hear the fan running. You may need to hold down the door switch to get the fan to come on. If you can hear the fan check the rear wall inside the freezer for frost accumulation. If you have frost you need to check the defrost system.

If there is no cooling at all on the fridge section but the freezer works then it is confirmed that the compressor and gas pressure is OK. Now shut off the fridge and leave it powered off while you clean and check the evaporator for frost. If frost is seen it is a good indication as the compressor is working with sufficient gas within.
Now after about 6 hours plug in the fridge to start. Observe cooling to happen in about one hour and ice to from under three hours.
Earlier make sure that the thermostat was set to normal mode for freezer and fridge.
However if ice forms in the freezer then observe the fridge for about 24 hours for cooling to continue and the fridge to cut off . If not the auto defrost timer, or the thermostat must be checked. Frost formation without defrosting could block the air flow and so shut the air passage to the fridge. Also the blower fan must work and if this is not working then the fan can be faulty. Also a fault on the control unit is a suspect to non functioning of any one of these components.
If defrost timer works but frost keeps forming check while the compressor shuts if the heaters are working, check continuity of the heaters.
So try this test using a multi-meter on the defrost timer and the thermostat and make your observations so that we come to the solution.

Please check the link below for tips to remove the panels/parts: http://www.espares.co.uk/advice/fridges-and-freezers/a/2

This can be seen on the bottom panel but only if you can trace on the back plate.

Check the evaporator fan in the freezer. It may not be blowing air over into the fridge.

Please rate me if this helps.

call the washing machine engineer and ask for a quote before the repair as he could mabe find more then you want after long investigations be careful not to get ripped off eric

I've found the most useful repair people for power washers are lawn mower repair techs. Give them a ring and see if they do house calls, they'll be your best bet.

The mix valve is bad, you will need to replace it.

door seals aresome times at fault ck them for leakage/ thedefrost system is most common / inside the freezer look in the back at the bottom if frosty. the defrost system is at fault . behind the back cover is the defrost terminator heater . most common is terminator and the A D C ( DAPTIVE DEFROST CONTROL) REPLACE BOTH/IF ICE IS FOUND.. MM PLS SEND FEED BACK HOPE THIS HELPED..
