Fisher paykel ecosmart washer won't fill or complete cycle

Machine stops and beeps with hot and cold lights flashing. If I restart the machine about 6 times, it finally makes it through the cycle. Looks like only a trickle of water is going in when it is filling.

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.

If you can indicate which lights are displayed when the machine is beeping,that gives one the fault code to be able to tell what the fault is!!

SOURCE: My washing machine stops mid cycle

issue where washer stops and water won't drain might mean something is in drain area.

look at my issue "eco smart won't drain, smells hot" and see about the sock. I found one of my husband's socks so far down in the tub bottom that I couldn't see it when I looked between plastic outer liner and wash tub. Had to remove black motor/white housing on bottom of machine--which i had to replace cause it burned out. That is when I saw the sock and pulled it out through a quarter-sized hole.

SOURCE: GWL15 starts to fill, water shuts off & water

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

My Fisher Paykel GWL 15 will only fill if Hot wash is selected. Should I call a service technician? Thanks Glenn

Try to swap the plugs and hoses to the hot /cold solenoids see if that works the hot valve with cold water if work you need to buy a cold valve.

Fisher and Paykel, EcoSmart with lid lock. After initial fill, all wash lights go out, advances to rinse, then beeps continuously. Have to shut machine off and start over. Continues to wash, but leaks out of top panel under lid. Machine is level. Any Suggestions?

Starts and stops

A failed inlet valve is not uncommon in F&P machines. The hot valve is different to the cold one, so don't exchange them. Not a big job for a tech to do in-laundry. Good luck....Nomess

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.

F&P washer lights on and beeps

Clogged pump stopped up drain. If the washer does not think all water was pumped out in 8 minutes then it shuts down. Slow drain is my first inclination.
