20 Most Recent Fisher and Paykel Fisher Paykel Intuitive Eco Washer IWL15 Questions & Answers

Question edited to correct name of maker, (Fisher PayPal :>) Question moved to one of their categories. No clue to whether a top loader or a front loader, which is why we ask for full 'make model (what it is)'. If it is only in the rinse cycle, and if it is a front loader it is likely to be spray of a crack in the box that is the detergent drawer and fabric softener mixer. The only way to find out is to remove the top after a wash and look for where the water came from.

Here is how I fixed mine using the knowledge of years of fixing things.
I grabbed the machine from the top with both hands and shook it off the floor very hard with a good thump X 2
I went to university for longtime to know this is how to fix it;
The circuit boards and sensors are not bad. It just after years of bumpy spin cycles there is a loose connection. This will shake the troublesome connection into a new position where it makes better contact.
It's temporary.
One day you'll have to open it and check all the connections are tight and clean.

Check the pipes actually work first. Is there a hidden drain filter that is partially blocked? Dissasemble the pump and check it works and the blades inside are clean.

Hi just read your posting.Error Code 131 is called REPETITIVE ROTOR POSITION SENSOR ERROR..The 3 reasons this fault is appearing is 1--the wiring to the rotor sensor is faulty.--2--the rotor sensor is faulty.--3-- the motor controller is faulty.If you have or can borrow an electrical test meter I can help you test the wiring but to test the rotor sensor you need a tester called RPS tester.Please reply on how you would like to proceed an I will help you as much as I can.

Hi,

code 43 is an out of balance switch problem.Once replaced, would fix the issue.

One trick that might work ;-

I unscrewed top cover, then unscrewed and lifted up the grey computer cover. The balance switch is underneath on the right with a yellow and white wire coming off.

I removed switch from clip and then removed the wires/clips from contacts. There was definitely corrosion on the contacts. I soaked switch overnight in vinegar. Then rinsed with water. Then dried switch out for day.

Put it all back together and am now on second load of washing.

Thanks.

136. (10001000) Motor Stall The Motor Control Module has been unable to start the motor. Possible causes of this fault are: Faulty motor harness, faulty or jammed motor, seized bearings or seals, faulty Motor Control Module, faulty Rotor Position Sensor or harness. Primary Source: Wiring. Action: Measure/check the motor harness, connectors and motor for discontinuity. This can be done by taking a resistance measurement between phases of the motor harness at the Motor Control Module end. Nominal resistance should be around 32Ohms. Secondary Source: Motor. Action: 1) Check free rotation of the agitator and basket by rotating by hand. Bearings and seals may be seized. 2) Check the Rotor Position Sensor and associated harness for water, mechanical damage or corrosion. Tertiary Source: Motor Control Module. Action: If the primary and secondary checks pass inspection, then replace the Motor Control Module.

there is grease leaking from a bearing seal,time for service

A;; fault codes above.

I can talk you througt this in live chat, but you'd need to get a F&P Bearing replacement toolkit and seals and bearings and a new agitator shaft. cheers

Hi just read your posting.Error code 43 is called OUT OF BALANCE SWITCH ERROR.This means either your switch is faulty or your your control module is faulty.95 % of the time it is your switch which is located under the control module which is under the top panel.If you want I can guide you step by step in the replacement of this switch.Please reply on how you would like to proceed and I will help you as much as I can.Looking forward to your reply.

I also got Error Code 37 at the end of a wash with the machine full of suds. I used the other information listed under this problem to establish that the pump was blocked, (no amount of hand-turning loosened the fan). After unplugging the machine from the wall, I removed the pump easily by unplugging the power and earth from the pump, pressed in a clip on the side of the pump to allow the whole pump to rotate and then pull out, (a bayonet type fitting). From where the pump came out from was a small piece of cloth and other gunk! I refitted the pump and reconnected the power and earth. The machine is now working happily again.

check drain pump is not blocked or faulty

if it keeps filling until it floods the it has afaulty transducing which is locatedin the mainboard which will have to be replace

repace the thermostat

pump block error remove pump check foranything blocking or jamming it it that fails replace pump

this code indicates a faulty main board

top loader yes remove cap off top of agitator there is a plastic wing nut at the bottom undo anticlockwise and agitator canbe removed and replacement

faulty cold water solenoid or sensor

this is a faulty transducer which is located on the main board unfortunatley you will need to replace the whole thing

its suppsed to as long as it even
