My machine was working fine until it was removed from the wall so we could renovate the laundry. Upon reconnection, it would not work properly. Just before this happened ( for the last two months, I could not select a medium or slow spin. The machine spins super fast no matter which spin speed I select. Now, suddenly, it haS presented this new problem. Please help [email protected]
Maybe you have the cold tap hose connected to the hot inlet valve. Check the hoses. Need more info on the beeping. Is it a steady beep or more of a musical rippling sound? Also, what lights are on especially along top row when it beeps but also describe any other lights that are blinking? The top row lights won't be blinking, so just count and tell what number lights are on and which are off ( count from left to right)

Check your drain hose to make sure you have not sealed the top of the standpipe (drain line), or shoved your drain hose too far down in the pipe. If you do not allow for an air gap, your washer will fill and begin to siphon through the drain line. It is common for folks to seal the standpipe or shove the drain hose down in the line too far in the belief that it will prevent overflows, or get rid of that nasty drain smell. This can be bad because it does not allow for the proper air gap to keep the water from being siphoned right out of the machine. You may have a tight fitting that doesn't siphon every time which may explain why the problem doesn't occur all the time. Double check to make sure. Hope this helps.

hi there these washing machines don't have any pelts or pulley's. Washer will need new seals and bearings witch is a big job, you wont be able to do it your self as you need special tools to put the bearings back in :)
SOURCE: fisher paykel will not complete rinse spin cycle
will sence it will spin once the water is out .that must mean your pump is restricted.unplug go to buttom of washer find pump and clean out
SOURCE: my smart drive is not reaching full spin speed on spin cycle
You are right with your last comment. Laying the machine on its back is a no no. It allows the residue water in the bowl to possibly travel up the small plastic tube and enter into the water level sensor on the main (computer) control unit. It only takes a very small amount of water and it upsets the sensor so that the machine may not go through its cycle correctly. The water (depending on model) is extremely difficult or impossible to get out.
This may cause the machine to think that the bowl is not completely drained and so it will not go into full speed spin. Other problems may occur as well.
Bear in mind also that that a number of machine models do not go to full speed spin on a water temperature setting of warm or higher. When checking for high speed spin put your water temperature control down to cold / warm or cold.
Check also that your machine is sitting level ( the bowl is sitting centre in relation to the top shroud. If the bowl is leaning toward the rear of the machine when you look down into it, the ability to spin may be affected. There is a lever behind the bowl which activates a switch if the bowl comes in contact with it (when the wash load is out of balance) to stop the spin. The switch can also be activated when the machine is not level.
If your problem persists you may have to get a replacement main contol unit. If you are a little savey at technical things you may be able to get a discarded control unit from your local tip or recycler and recover the water level sensor for a change over. This may involve soldering though as well as precautions concerning stored electricity in the control unit capacitors and precautions about static electricity from your body or solder iron destroying other electronic components on the main control unit.
Hope this helps.

Hi just read you posting.Could you please confirm the fault code for me.1st push and hold the WASH TEMPERATURE DOWN button then press the POWER button until the machine gives you 2 short beeps,then release both buttons.Now press the SPIN UP or DOWN button until the HOLD and SLOW SPIN LEDs are both on.Now the fault code will appear in the WASH PROGRESS lights.Please reply to confirm which lights are lit.Are they the same as your 1st posting?To get back to normal operation turn machine off at the power point.Looking forward to your reply.
