    Nuala Jewitt,
    Error Code 9 on Fisher and Paykel Aquasmart = Size setting error.
    If this appears it will be necessary to set the size of the Aquasmart:

    1. Press and hold the SPIN button, then press the POWER button until three beeps are heard.
    2. Press the FABRIC SOFTENER button once to size the machine.
    3. Press the POWER button.

    -RR

  2. I have error code 9 on a WL70T60C Fisher and Paykel Aquasmart. What is this?

  3. DIY Project Help Tips

    Jacqui,
    The 68 F&P washer error code is an indication of a bad lid lock switch.
    Try the diagnostics error code check.

    Or set the machine to another cycle and press start and see when it stops?
    Then tell me what lights are lit?
    If it does come back with the lights again then I would check to see if you can open the lid while it is supposed to be locked?
    If you can open the lid or you think the lid switch is bad or not seating correctly then I would replace it.
    -RR

  4. I have a F and P Smart Drive 8 top loader washing machine – model LW085F that suddenly would not start. All other controls work – temp, load size, spin speed etc.
    Using the binary number on a 7 light panel for the wash cycle shows error code 68. ie… light 3 and 7 light up. Can anyone advise what this means on this model?
    It is a very old machine but have never had a problem. Not sure if worth getting F and P out to repair.

  5. DIY Project Help Tips

    Helen,
    Is your AquaSmart washer on level ground?
    What happens if you run an empty load, does it jump around?
    You may have a spring or a tub balancer that has fallen off or is loose.
    Check the outer drum to see if that is the case.
    -RR

  6. Similar to 3 above. My AquaSmart clothes washer model # WLTOT60DW1 gets very unbalanced in spin cycle. It spins for a little while then machine jumps around the floor, sometimes self correcting then spins again, sometimes beeping but regardless of whether or not I rearrange the clothes it will spin a little then repeats whole process. The clothes are still very wet when I give up and remove them. Any ideas?

    David Forsyth,

    FISHER AND PAYKEL DRYER ERROR CODE 9: EXHAUST SENSOR UNDER TEMPERATURE
    The exhaust sensor measures under temperature (open circuit or not plugged in)

    TO FIX ERROR CODE 9:
    Check the integrity of the sensor circuit checking particularly for short circuits.
    Replace thermistor and harness if out of range.
    Check the element integrity in that it switches off when the dryer is stopped.
    Replace the motor control module.
    Replace the sensor module.
    -RR
