Possible Causes

Slow water fill due to restricted Fisher & Paykel inlet valve, Heater not working so machine extends wash, Unbalanced load causing repeated spin attempts, Clogged drain slowing transitions

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance and turn off water before servicing.

  • Observe cycle: Note whether the unit spends extra time filling, heating, or spinning. This helps pinpoint the subsystem at fault.
  • Check inlet flow: Clean inlet hose filters and ensure good water pressure to the Fisher & Paykel inlet valve.
  • Verify heating: During a hot wash, check if the door glass becomes warm. If not, troubleshoot the wash heater and NTC sensor.
  • Check drain and spin: Clean the drain pump filter and ensure the machine is level to reduce unbalance interruptions.
