Probably a bad controller. Note the lights that are illuminated and call F/P.

Check your exit hose spigot, it may be clogged. This is if your filter is all clean (ref manual). There should be air for passage in the standpipe behind. Your hose should not fit airtight into the standpipe and neither too deep into it (4 to 6 inches maximum) Of course some direct the hose into sink, fine. Snaking out your standpipe would be good too.

It is either the inlet valve or the pump. If the pump is fine you need to replace the inlet valve. Here you can find parts.

SOURCE: How to I get to the pump on my Fisher & Paykel

If machine has water in it, bucket out as much as you can.

To access pump:
-Pull machine forward and lean it backwards so you can access under machine.
-On the front right hand side, you will see a fan blade- this is the drain pump. This fan blade should spin freely if you turn it by hand.
-To remove pump: remove plug connection that has 2 wires. Remove other plug connection that has 1 wire. On the top of the pump assembly, you will see a white plastic tag, about a 40mm long horizontally across the pump- gently pull tag towards you, and turn complete pump unit anti clockwise- whole pump will drop out (don't force it, it should come out easily) *Note* if there is water in machine still, it will come out when you remove pump assembly- be ready with some towels!!
-Check pump impellor(blade on other end of pump) is free from obstruction, and turns easily. Check with your finger to see if there is any obstruction in the hole where the pump has come out of (inside bowl).
-You can test pump with an ohm meter (should be approx 37ohms from memory)
Reassemble and test for leaks etc

Fisher & Paykel Smart Drive Pride 5.5 Top Load turns off?

That sounds indicative or either a failed controller board or bad connections on it. What you can try if you wish is getting to the control board and spraying all the connecters with electrical switch cleaner. For any board edge connectors remove the connector, spray the contacts on the board edge and polish the board edge contact strips with a piece of kitchen towel. If that doesn't fix it call for service and diagnosis as control boards are expensive, so you need not only a correct diagnoses but warranty on the part and the labour.

The other possibility as an afterthought, as the drain blockage caused this, is the pump working okay? These machines have self test procedures on the pump, and if the pump doesn't pass, the machine shuts down. If the drain was blocked and the pump was running for an extending time, it may be heat stressed. That would be a much cheaper repair.

Fisher and Paykel Washing Machine model mw512

this sounds like the motor controller cant start the motor. I would be looking at the motor controller itself.
when it's filling with water, does the bowl go around slowly?

Turn machine OFF on the front panel. Hold down the Water Temp Down button and press the POWER button. Release buttons. You are in Diagnostic mode.With your service sheet ,Diagnostic chart will explain where the error lights pattern and the path to your solution are.My advice is this....there is a known problem with the wire harness connectors,and the contact that is made at the point of connection.One at a time remove each connector starting at your main control board ,some where there is a loose connection.
