<title><![CDATA[Fisher and Paykel Aquasmart Washing Machine: Help load is out of balance please adjust.]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>This out of balance comes on everything big or small loads I've a repair man who comes every week but he doesn't know either. He came today with suspension rods but previously has been saying mine are OK. He didn't install them. He turned up another day with a brand new computer display module this still hasn't rectified the out of balance. Today I think he removed tge display panel and gave me another . Why because it cones upwith what language and wants to give me a demo.</p>

<p>Another fault besides tge out of balance.  When I switched tge machine off frustrated the Power is switch off but tge High Efficiency keeps flashing . I turned it back on then off still it flashed. This repair man did the seals in my machine months ago. I had to take it back to him tho as apparently it was a faulty part from FnP.</p>

<p>Who knows I know I've had no washer going properly for a year . Also I have a photo of codes that show when it's switched on. I spent$700 with this guy and he carnt fix the out of balance. Does anyone have any idea what should I do?</p>

<title><![CDATA[Fisher and Paykel Aquasmart Washing Machine: How long will the replaced suspension rods and rubber straps last]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I have a 6 yr old Fischer paykel top loader, which started acting up when it was 5.5 yrs old by giving the classic &quot;load out of balance &quot; message on the rinse and spin parts of the cycle. Since at least 4-5 months, I have successfully done laundry by &quot;manually &quot; placing clothes in drum so that it remains balanced during rinse and spin times each. The load gets done but now I have to do this with only half my regular load of clothes as it is becoming harder to distribute equally when there are heavy jeans and light weight tees in the same wash. Also this takes too much of my time to do it manually as it can be a hit/miss situation. Now, I have seen the replacement instructions here, appears like an easy thing but I want to know how long this repair will last? Will it give me another 5 years? If these washers are expected to last 12-15 years, does this mean I would have to replace the rods 2 times before end of its life?</p>

<p>I am asking this because I want to consider getting rid of my fischer paykel and  buying a new different design and make rather than keep replacing multiple times.</p>

<p>Essentially, if my hubby helps me it will be only around 100$ for replacing the rods and braces, but if I call the service tech , it will cost around 350$ which is half the price if this machine. All the top loaders in the market seem to have no agitator in the middle and it seems that is where all of them  fail to perform flawlessly (my old Fischer paykel with agitator lasted 16 years without any repair and as good as new. ) While top loaders save my back from bending, I am frustrated with the faulty no agitator design and am planning to get a front loader of a different brand that does not need any repair, period ( I am told that is impossible to find but I am hopeful).</p>

<p>Knowing how many replacements will be required in the lifetime of my Fischer paykel may help me decide whether I should bother replacing the rods  and spacers or just buy something different instead.</p>

<title><![CDATA[Fisher and Paykel Aquasmart Washing Machine: Not completing spin cycle]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>machine seems unbalanced no matter how often I re arrange the contents. It stops on rinse and beeps, and won’t move forward- progress- with the cycle. Happens more often than not recently.</p>

<p>Unsure why is now unbalanced. Machine is one of the earlier ones (low agitator)</p>

<div class="clearer"></div><div class="headerContainer"><h3 id="Section_Update_12_19_Num_2022" class="header">Update (12/19/2022)</h3></div>

<p>F&amp;p Aquasmart WL70T60D 92127-A-NZ</p>

<p>Aso during the rinse and spin it thumps and bashes around really badly before stopping and beeping and the rinse light stays on, or if I progress it to spin does the same until it stops with the spin light on - and the clothes are still wet.</p>

<p>Been doing it for the past 4 washes perhaps.</p>

<p>I have done two auto tub cleans</p>

<p>F&amp;p Aquasmart WL70T60D 92127-A-NZ</p>

<p>I have replaced the straps that attach in the four corners but hasn't helped</p>
