I have a problem with a fisher and paykel MW512AU washing machine. I turned the machine on as normal, start the load, and everything was fine. After roughly 10 minutes the machine stops doing anything, begins to beep and flashes both the hot water and cold water light simultaneously. It seems when I tried turning the machine on again when the water is filling the barrel its is very slow, and also the motor is spinning the barrel very slowly. I'm not 100 percent sure but I don't think this used to happen. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you Chirs

The heating element has an issue
if you say after 10 mins it fails and stops
this indicates two things
the door lock is aok
and the machine fills

next comes heating up the water
some 10 mins into a warm wash

so perhaps the heating element has an issue
or the hardware cant detect it correctly
modern machine detect as they go
however usually but not always a bad element
causes your home electrics tip out...

but as the motor seems to run slow
it could be a sensor or the motor has bad brushes...

We have a fisher and paykel MW512AU toploader washing machine. it turn on lets you select whatever and start it's wash then does these little beeps the lights on the wash progress flash depending on where...

If it is a musical rippling sound & hot & cold lights are flashing that usually indicates it is not getting water quickly enough. You can open the lid while it is filling & look. If water is just trickling in and taps are fully open then replace the inlet valve with a new one.

Machine will not spin or drain water.

I have a problem with my MW512AU. Sometimes it drains after wash cycle, but sometimes it sticks when it goes to spin, doesn't get up to speed, water comes on for about 10 seconds and shuts off, and it tries to spin again. If I hit the wash progress switch it goes directly to final spin and works ok. I then have to run a 2nd wash cycle to rinse the clothes. I also noticed a buzzing sound when I turn on the power point, which lasts about 3 seconds before stopping. It will come back on every 3-4 minutes for 30 seconds. This is with the machine power switch off. It powers on normally.

Fisher and paykel toploader will not start!

quite likely the motor controller has died, which is situated underneath the control panel.
