Possible Causes

Foreign object in Fisher & Paykel pump (coin, hairpin, button), Broken pump impeller, Debris lodged in pump housing, Partially blocked sump hose

Safety first: Unplug the washer and prepare towels and a shallow pan for water.

Access pump: Remove the lower front or rear panel to reach the drain pump.
Remove hoses: Clamp and disconnect the hoses to the pump. Check for objects blocking flow.
Inspect impeller: Look inside the pump housing and remove any debris. Ensure the impeller spins freely and is firmly attached to the shaft.
Replace pump if damaged: If the impeller is loose or broken, install a new Fisher & Paykel drain pump assembly.
