Thankyou Dan. It was the bottom drawer that broke, but decided to replace both. I found the bottom was easier to do, perhaps better leverage while sitting on the floor. If in Australia, I bought the handles on ebay from asap_online; good price, quick delivery.

I have a fisher & paykel top loader WA 75T65GW1 and I can’t get it to run in cold water mode driving me nuts. Any ideas ? 🙏

This was a great video guide - thank you. I had issues unplugging the LCD and didn't want to break any wires so I just left it plugged in and still managed to get it into the new handle with the amount of length available on the wires.

You helped me heaps man cheers 💙

Dan Bloody awesome mate you made it easy to do this change. Thanks

What’s the wash rinse spin fault

Great Video Dan. What happens if I have to do this process every 3 months? Some other issue? Thanks Sam

Hey I'm having trouble removing it from the shaft it just stops, I've tried the foot and it just catches and stops. I'm a bit scared of breaking it any hints or more tips?

Hey there, thanks for the info. My topload will not power on at all after shutting off before a spin cycle. I got the top off and there is some thick fluid around the water pipe entering the machine. Hoping a blown fuse or something simple. Any ideas or other videos you may be able to point me to?

Bro i owe you my life. I had bought pork and my gorenje oven wont turn on and guest coming in 3 hours and now u made my Owen work. 🎉

Thank you for this. I was able to do some troubleshooting and I am a novice single woman. Very helpful.

Great video. Thanks for creating. I followed diagnostics after power blackout for F&P washing machine WA1068G1. Set to restart, power off for 60 sec, tried new outlet, power on the control panel, everything seems to be in order but the start button does not respond to start machine. Not sure what to do? Codes: d15-0 and 1, d20-323, d21-3, d22-7, d24-85, d25-23, all others outside d10 are 0. Any advice apart from calling a technician?

Oh my god - you're a life saver! Thanks so much!!!

Hi Dan I have just now found your site. My machine has occasional slightly wet floor. Not the inlet valves or hoses. I will have to look at a few more of your videos. By the way, I picked tobacco in Motueka at Mr Fry's farm in Lodders Lane, about 1973?....I was backpacking solo from Sydney. Now live in Perth. Allan

Do you have a video on how to replace drain pipe .. for some reason mine is leaking .. maybe pipe split .. 😢

Thanks!

anyone having trouble with the Lid Lock Solenoid? On my unit the solenoid was clicking but not holding in giving an error. The cause was a micro crack in a solder joint. . . Electronics knowledge required. The tracks follow a crazy path. On the control board there are 2 x 10 ohm resistors connected in parallel. . . Then in series with the switching fet. On my wl70t60 they are located near the water level sensor. The track then routes to a smallish dual fet 8 pin ic. Measuring ohms from the fet pin to the solenoid edge connector, should read 5 ohms. Simply resoldering the resistors fixed mine.

Thank you so much mate. Helped me out. Was ready to replace the machine.

You're an absolute legend for making this guide. After following your steps I found a small mountain of rusty hair clips in my filter blocking the pump impeller. I also discovered that I really need to deep clean my machine. Thanks from Christchurch.

None of them/ What is turned on is the 3rd 4th and last spin red light on the top wash progress/ No other lights saying its high water or lid lock etc. So whats that code sir???

I'm a retired tradesman and this is how all such videos should be made. This guy's a legend.

Thanks so much. Pulled out the pump, found the obstruction and it’s now working perfectly.

This was brilliant - couldn’t believe it would be easy - well it wouldn’t have been without this simple step by step guide - thank you 👍🏾

Awesome video! This taught me a lot about Fisher & Paykel history. Would a GW708 motor controller board work for a GW608 washing machine?

Thanks legend

Mate, this saved me removing and carrying a machine done two sets of tiny stairs. My back thanks you

Thank you so much…😊👍🏻

best ever. concise, well demonstrated. Saved a service call. Thanks !

Great video! How does the water balance ring manage to sit above the neck ring before spinning? Is it just form overloading if no signs of wear on the water balance ring? That really was a good video, thanks.

Legend, thank you, looks like I am up for a new rotor!

Thanks for your great videos, they are super helpful. I've got a 2013 Smartdrive washer that has me a little stumped though - on the rinse cycle, it doesn't run the rinse water valve. It tries a few times before powering off. Oddly, the rest of the cycles run fine - it drains, fills, spins etc OK. And there are no error codes either. We only run hot washes, I haven't checked to see if the issue happens with cold. Is a bad thermistor? Or bad inlet valve? Thanks, Andy, Chch NZ.

I had worked out that drive change mechanism ages ago, but didn't realise which part was indeed causing the rub. Mine just touches with a light rub, but not completely around the cap ring. Now I know to change it now. I'm just doing the bearings as over the last few weeks, it's got very noisy on spin. It's only the top bearing and when you hand turn the bearing (just got it out,) it gnarly, but not greatly, but boy did it make a lot of noise. The lower one is still good. (AquaSmart) I have to say the Ajax water valve (4 of them,) the hot was making it stop filling and fault, but now with the replacement the unit on every fill type- hot and cold, fills much stronger than before. The coils must fatigue in the insulation? I measured them with an inductance meter and also with the D setting and checked the new and the old; even the faulty hot fill one All measured the same in the parameters of inductance ,so I was wondering that things change under an electrical load? The impedance is probably what I should have worked out? One MOSFET has heat evidence around it on the control motherboard, but it has to do with the direct drive output, by the rough look of investigation and not the water control as the current needs are way less. Anyway, a blooming good machine. I think I bought it in mid 2000's? It has done much work.

Awesome video thanks, I had a lollipop stick blocking the pump from spinning, never would have fixed it without your video. Thank you.

Evening mate, quick question for you, we have a f&p 10kg fabric smart top loader, keeps saying out of balance on spin cycle, Took the pump out and cleaned and checked it’s working and is as it dumps the water, but I bypassed the lid lock switch and watched the bowl, when it starts to get up to speed it starts to run eccentric and trips the out of balance function, also have checked the bowl hangers and they appear to be ok, what am missing? Thanks Glenn from Hawke’s Bay.

Thank you sorted out my problem

Awesome - thanks!... Just solved my "whirring" noise issue... Glass under the rotor as you suggest! My unit was slightly different... rotor arm off; turn rotor anticlockwise and then remove (didn't need to remove a larger plate before th rotor).... Just making that comment for other just in case it helps someone else... Thanks again!

Do you have a diagnostic guide for a WA1068g2?

I have a Fisher/Paykel Model GWL11US . The problem is that on the final fast spin cycle. water is sent into the machine. With the speed of the machine the water is spun out of the machine and onto the floor. The water enters from the side of the machine at about the 2 o'clock location, not the very back. What can cause this?

Awesome. Cheers for this 🤙 Trusty smart drive is like the Landcruiser of washing machines 👍

Hi Dan, thanks for the tech tips. We have a issue that our machine is skipping cycles and goes to spin within 10 mins. You can hear beeping like the touch buttons are been pressed. Any ideas what this could be? Doesnt do all the time but its geeting worse

Thanks bro , amazing vid, easy to follow,

Thank you so much for this video - it made replacing the handle very straight forward. I would have spent a couple of hours trying to figure out that the top needs to be slid to the left!

Thanks mate, legend

Hi, very helpful videos. I have a MW512 which has blown the mother board. Prior to blowing up it was agitating jerkily and erratically. I have put in a new motherboard, but am loathe to do a wash in case there is some underlying problem and if blows up again. Would be very grateful for your advice. Thanks

Can you tell me possibilities with code 112

Hi ours wont power on anymore. The PowerPoint is fine but when we plug it in and switch it in and press power in there's no power at all on the washer

Dan u are the man. Bloody brilliant. Been putting up with the squealing way to long!

Why do some machines have the Bias spring on the back left hand suspension arm? I've noticed that one is on the front left suspension arm? Thanks in advance

Your videos on this machine are great. I have a GWL15US that I’m doing a major cleaning on. I pulled the water pump and cleaned it. It was so full of crud. Now I’ve removed the drum to clean it as well. When I reassemble it, I’d like to check that the cycles are functioning correctly. Would you explain how you run the machine without the lid? How do you trip the lid lock?

This is brilliant. Top marks. Much appreciated.
