Most common repairs needed to fix a Fisher & Paykel washer

Electronic Control Board Replacement

A malfunctioning electronic control board can lead to various failures in a washer. This is because the board serves as the brain of the washer, controlling crucial components such as the water valve, drive motor, drain pump, and cycles. If the electronic control board fails, the washer may not power up or display the cycle status. Additionally, it might fail to fill, agitate, spin, or drain. In some cases, a shorted board may emit a burning smell.

User Interface Control Replacement

A faulty user interface control may become unresponsive and won’t allow you to change wash cycle settings or turn the washer on and off. In some failures, only one or two buttons or dials on the interface are affected, but in some cases the entire interface will be completely dead. Cycle status such as time remaining in the cycle won’t display properly on a defective user interface. Control keys or buttons on the user interface may also stick, causing the washer to exhibit inconsistent behavior, such as starting or stopping unexpectedly during a cycle. Error codes may also be present.

Motor Replacement

A broken washer motor will prevent the spin basket from rotating or agitating, and can also cause a variety of other issues that affect the washer’s ability to function properly. Signs that the motor is wearing out include unusual noises during operation, such as grinding or squealing sounds. The washer may also exhibit erratic spinning or agitation, with clothes not being properly rinsed or still soaking wet after the spin cycle. Additionally, a worn-out motor may lead to the washer not completing its cycles, stopping abruptly, or not starting at all. Burnt smells or overheating around the motor area can be indicative of internal problems. In some cases, visible damage to the motor itself may be apparent.

What to expect when you experience a Fisher & Paykel washer no power issue

How is the no power problem fixed?

Correcting most no power problems usually involves replacing the electronic control board, user interface control or motor. However, there are many potential causes, so a thorough diagnosis is key to fixing the problem. An accurate diagnosis is essential to understanding how much the repair will be.

Sears Home Services recommendations for a washer that has no power

When the washer has no power it can be for many reasons. To avoid replacing unneeded parts we recommend having a Sears Home Services professional perform diagnostic tests to identify the root cause of the problem. Our technicians are experienced at diagnosing all types of washer failures.

What to look out for with a washer no power diagnosis

Diagnosing modern appliances without proper knowledge and training can be difficult. Without using proper diagnostic techniques, fixing your washer problem will only be achieved through changing parts on a hunch. Appliances, especially in the last 10 years, have become extremely advanced, and many models have electronic parts that are difficult to test. DIY repairs on the latest appliance models are becoming increasingly difficult.

No lights or sounds from a Fisher & Paykel washer indicate blown fuses or damaged wiring within. Simple resets won’t revive a complete power loss. Instead of letting clothes pile up, lean on washer appliance repair. Restoring electricity gets your washer back to daily use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my Fisher & Paykel washer completely unresponsive?
A tripped breaker, damaged power cord, or blown internal fuse can result in no power. Verify the home’s electrical panel and ensure the outlet has voltage.
How do I reset the washer’s circuit breaker?
Locate your home’s breaker panel, flip the washer breaker OFF for 60 seconds, then switch it back ON. If it trips again, consult an electrician or appliance expert.
Could a faulty door lock keep the washer from powering on?
Yes. Some washers require the door to lock before powering the motor or control board. A misaligned or broken lock can prevent startup. A shorted out door lock can also drain power from the control board and prevent the control panel from powering up.
When should I call a technician for a Fisher & Paykel washer with no power?
If breakers, cords, and door locks check out, the main control board or wiring harness may be faulty. A professional can diagnose and repair these components.
