Fisher & Paykel washing machines
Read this first: Fisher & Paykel no longer lists a washing machine for the United States. Its US support site has a laundry section with nothing in it, and the Products menu has no fabric care in it at all. The machines are still here — South Florida laundry rooms are full of them — and the maker still sells laundry parts and stacking kits. We repair the ones that are here, and we would rather tell you where the line falls than let you find out at the parts stage.

What goes wrong with it
Symptoms we are called out to on Fisher & Paykel washing machines
Each one covers the likely causes in the order they are worth checking, and what to do in five minutes before booking anything.
-
Full drum at the end Washing machine will not drain or spin
A cycle that ends with water in the drum, or clothes that come out soaking. Ordinary laundry work on machines this maker no longer sells here — which changes the parts conversation and nothing about the diagnosis.
- Water still in the drum at the end
- It hums but nothing empties
- Clothes are wringing wet after the spin
What we do on it
Repairs we carry out on Fisher & Paykel washing machines
Starting figures for this equipment in South Florida. The exact cost is confirmed after an on-site diagnostic — and this is not the whole list of what can go wrong, so call if your problem is not here.
-
from $95 Diagnostic visit
We read what the appliance is reporting, then measure before saying anything about the repair. On this equipment that also means working out how the machine leaves its opening before anybody touches it. The fee is credited toward the work when you go ahead.
- The code or the light pattern read on site, before anything is cleared
- Measured rather than guessed
- Credited toward the repair
-
from $145 Washer drain & pump repair
A machine that fills and washes and then sits full of water. Ordinary laundry work on machines this maker no longer sells in the United States — which changes nothing about the diagnosis and quite a lot about the parts conversation, so we have that one first.
- Pump, filter and drain hose in that order
- Parts availability confirmed before anything is ordered
- The honest answer when a machine is not worth the repair
-
from $175 Washer spin, balance & lock repair
A load that will not spin out, a cabinet that walks across the laundry floor, or a lid that stays locked on a finished cycle. Three complaints that usually turn out to be two parts — the suspension and the lock — on machines that have been doing full loads for a decade or more.
- Balance treated as suspension, not as a user error
- Lid and door locks, which look far worse than they are
- Leveling and the floor checked before anything is replaced
-
from $135 Appliance maintenance visit
The things this maker's own guides ask an owner to do, done properly and all at once: condensers, filters, seals, descaling, spray arms, ducts. Priced per visit rather than per appliance, which is what makes it worth doing on a kitchen where most of the machines come from one maker.
- Condenser and seals, which are the local weak points
- Steam ovens descaled, which nothing else here does
- One visit, several appliances, one travel charge
-
from $175 Appliance installation & re-fit
Putting a built-in machine back into the opening it came out of, aligning a cabinet panel so the kitchen looks right again, and connecting water where there is water. Not a delivery service — this is the re-install after a repair, a kitchen change, or a machine that was never fitted the way its own instructions asked.
- Fitted to the maker's own instructions, and we tell you what they said
- Cabinet panel alignment as a job in its own right
- Ventilation and clearance checked, because it causes later repairs

About Fisher & Paykel washing machines
Why this page reads differently from the others
Every other appliance on this site is backed by the maker's own current model list, its own troubleshooting articles and its own code tables. Laundry has none of those for the United States. The support base defines the category and lists no machine in it; the US product menu does not carry fabric care at all. What it does still carry is laundry spare parts and stacking kits, which is the maker's own acknowledgement that these machines are still running.
What we repair
- Drain and pump — the machine fills, washes, and will not empty.
- Spin and balance — a load that will not spin out, or a cabinet that walks across the floor.
- Lid and door locks, which keep a finished cycle shut and are one of the commonest calls on an ageing machine.
- Fill valves and hoses, and the inlet screens behind them.
- Suspension and bearings on machines with years of full loads behind them.
- Controls, with the parts conversation had before anything is ordered.
Our rule on this equipment
We say what we can source and we do not invent the rest. If the machine needs a part that is no longer made, you get told that instead of a quote, and you get told at the diagnosis rather than after a week of waiting.
This article is based on:
- Official manufacturer documentation
- Internal repair procedures

Questions about fisher & Paykel washing machines
Is it true that Fisher & Paykel no longer sells washing machines here?
That is what its own US site says. The support base publishes a laundry category with four sections — washing machines, dryers, cabinets and combination machines — and every one of them returns an empty list, while cooking, cooling and dishwashing return hundreds of models between them. The United States product menu lists Cooking, Ventilation, Cooling, Dishwashing and Parts & Accessories, and no fabric care. Laundry spare parts and stacking kits are still on sale. So: machines in service, no machines for sale.
Can you still get parts?
Often yes, and that is the question worth asking before anything else. The maker still runs a laundry spare-parts section, and the common wear items on these machines — pumps, lid locks, hoses, suspension parts, belts where fitted — are the ones most likely to be available. What gets scarce on a discontinued line is model-specific electronics and cosmetic parts. We check availability before ordering rather than after, and we tell you plainly when a machine is not worth the part.
Why is there no model list or code table on this site for laundry?
Because there is no first-party US source for one any more. We build every model list and every code table on this site from the maker's own published material, and its US base has none for laundry. We could copy a table from somewhere; we do not, because a code table that is wrong about your machine costs you a visit. Tell us what the machine is doing and what it is showing, and we will work from that.
What do you actually see on these in South Florida?
The ordinary end of laundry repair, on machines that are now well into their second decade: pumps and drain paths, lid and door locks that stop a finished cycle from opening, out-of-balance loads and worn suspension, and the electronics on the older direct-drive machines. Humidity and a laundry room that is often a closet with no airflow do the rest. The diagnostic is the same as on any washer — what is different is the parts conversation, and we have it up front.
