  • luisa_sgro Apr 11, 2010

    sorry to hear that your controller went dead again. is it the brown controller. did u check water valve, motor, sounds like u have a faulty componet that is causing the fault. please reply back if u want to try and find fault. i will help as much as i can.

  • luisa_sgro Apr 15, 2010

    sorry it took me awhile to get back to u, my computer was playing up. now to test this unit, first get a test meter. select. ohms scale . go to the water valves up top of unit .their ohms reading should b about 63 ohms. next test your pump. it should b about 35 ohms. next test your motor. between any 2 of the windings the reading should b about 33ohms. next test your diverter it should b about 75 ohms, check with your old one and compare. now by memory u have got lid lock on your machine, the reading should b about 65 ohms. if u do these tests reply back and let me know. please turn power b4 you work on it.

Fisher and Paykel IW812, will not drain, pump checked OK, Divirter valve changed.In Diagonostic mode pump drains for about 1 Min then switches to Recirculating.Fault code 37

To change to recirculating mode then the diverter wax solenoid must be getting power fed to it and making it swap over. Sounds like a fault on the control board and board will need to be changed.

Fisher & Paykel GW611 Excellence does not pump water out. All lights are on and when it is suppose to pump, you can hear the noise, but no water coming out of the hose!

It sounds like the drain pump or the diverter valve is restricted. Check to make sure that the drain hose is clear then disconnect power and lay the machine's front on a padded surface to access the drain pump and the diverter valve at the bottom of the tub. Remove the pump's inlet and outlet hoses then check and clear from any debris that may prevent water from draining out. Check the impeller for any damage or restriction.

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

I changed the water pump and the devater valve the machine work for 5 min. then went dead know power.

Check fuse. Before replacing fuse, check water pump connections.

Your replaced water pump should be identical in design.

If wattage rating is more, increase the fuse rating slightly high.

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.

I have a gwl10 and during the wash cycle there is water coming in but the drain pump keeps running during the fill cycle.

The pump itself is supposed to run during the fill portion of the REGULAR cycle. It is supposed to be mixing the incoming fresh water with your laundry detergent and pouring the solution on your clothes as the tub rotates slowly. If the water is draining out of the machine, then there has been some sort of issue with the DIVERTER VALVE. It either has a broken lever on it or an object has become wedged in it, holding it open all the time. If you try the PERMA PRESS cycle, you will probably find that cycle will work, as it does not use the recirculate function.

I would check the diverter valve first. You can tip the washer back and remove the hose clamps with no tools and shine a light up inside and look for an object. You also can inspect the lever and will clearly see if it is broken.

If the washer needs a diverter valve, the part number is a 426862P and is easy to change. You can get them from Fisher Paykel Parts:
http://www.fisherpaykelparts.net/111-4/Diverter-Valve-GWL10-11-15.php

They also have downloadable service manuals (but I have pretty much told you what you need here)
Here is the GWL10 manual:

Fisher paykel empties as it fills (similiar to recent entry)

I had the same problem with my Fisher and Paykel washer. I replaced the diverter valve and it seems to be working fine. (Although I have only run one load so far.) I ordered the part from Fisher and Paykel. It came in 5 days. It was under $25, and it was simple to replace. Just make sure you get all of the water out of the washer first. There is a surprising amount underneath that has the potential to cause big problems if it leaks onto the pump.
