It's error code 37 and it means pump blocked error. The machine does not spin because water is not drained prior to the spin cycle. Either the drain hose is clogged or kinked, the diverter valve has failed, or the pump itself is restricted or not working at all. Check to make sure that the drain hose is clear then disconnect power and lay the machine on its front on a cushioned surface to access the drain pump and the diverter valve. Remove the pump's inlet and outlet hoses then check and clear them from any debris that may prevent water from draining out. Check the impeller for any damage or restriction. Make sure the impeller is not frozen or blocked.

Also check the diverter valve for the same condition as the pump described above. The diverter valve is where the drain pump and the recirculation pump inlet hoses are attached from. Make sure the diveter valve is in the drain position while the drain pump is working. Replace the drain pump and/or the diverter valve if deemed necessary.

Testimonial: "Thanks Jahn27. We did all that and found 2 hair pins and a wad of lint restricting the pump. All good now. Saved us $??? Thanks heaps!"

    Yep, the ole hair pins in the pump trick. Our washing machine did the same thing. Wouldn't pump out the water. I took the pump off and felt that it was very hot. Poked the old finger in and found 'several' hair pins stuck in there. Couldn't get all of em but cleared the pump so it now works. Was about to go out and spend a lot of dollars to replace the washing machine. Now that I've save a few dollars I reckon I can convince the better half to let me buy something for my PC.

Fisher & Paykel Aquasmart washing machine makes loud banging noise then stops during rinse/spin cycles

Your Aquasmart machine requires 4 new suspension damper rods & 4 top bands, these are a common problem for AquaSmart machines.

I have a Fisher & Paykel GW609AU washing machine

keep it simple, make sure water is on to both hot and cold hoses. Trip switches for door (and sometimes soap draws) can prevent machine working. Try asking a few logical questions. Has the machine been moved recently? If its out of level this could be a problem. Check solenoids are working (these are electrical taps at the back of machine which hoses hock up to), to do this try both hot and cold settings. Even try changing water level settings to further attempt to deduct were problem might lie. hope this helps and let us know how u go

My fisher & paykel smart drive excellence 7.5 washing machine squirts water in a few times and then stops and beeps and displays 3 lights red orange and (short wash) green as well as low and med speed...

Although slightly unclear these are the only possible error combinations for the leds on the machine as you look at it with red always on the end right hand side.

(11) 1011 (Green - nil - Orange - Red) - pressure problems perhaps a blockage in the tube to bowl.
(13) 1101 (Green-Orange-nil-Red) - pump is faulty
(15) 1111 (all lights on) - display module is faulty

I do not recall that the leds across the spin speed actually means something.

Good luck

I have a 10 year old Fisher & Paykel GWL10 washing machine. Fault code 1 is coming up. The machine turns completely off. The longer it cools down, the longer it goes before turning off again. This...

Code 1 - usually means on the later models of Fisher & Paykel is a faulty Motor Control Module, often though one would have to replace both as well as the display module.

Anyway - it sounds like the electronics are overheating hence the intermittent problems you are experiencing.

Fisher & Paykel Intuitive Eco switching itself off during cycle.

Could be a bad drain pump or controller or rotor position sensor. You will need a Tech to take a look. Unfortunately with these machines there can be many reasons for a failure. Call F/P to get a certified technician out there.
