    Re: The customer that insists there is something wrong.

    Erratic. The big thing to remember is that there is always something wrong. Whether it be an actual problem with the machine, or a customer with too much time and not enough information on how the machine is meant to work, you have to be able to fix it regardless. I find 20{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of my job is just informing people how the thing is meant to work and how to operate it correctly. I too have had note-taking oldies, and the ones that watch their frontloader like a tv, just waiting for something to fall to pieces.
    I know its off the subject, but who can hook me up with a cool avatar.

    Re: Fisher and Paykel Smartdrive 9 issues.

    Its awl good, ma brutha, its awwwl good 8)

    Here are some writings for the uninformed:
    Turn off power at wall. Remove the inspection hatch on the front rh cnr ( if the W/M has one, if not, just tilt the W/M back ), shine a torch in and give the small propellor on the bottom of the drain pump a couple of turns, if it at first feels tight, keep turning until it feels free, then advance to spin and start.

    If this doesn’t work, undo the 2 screws at the front of the top( under the little covers) tilt the top back being careful with the inlet hoses, having previously removed the agitator. Then unclip the plastic ring around the top and hang it to the side or disconnect spring( remember to refit spring ) from suspension. Then in one swift upward movement (not too swift) remove the inner bowl, and then you will see the pump cover. Remove the screw clamping it down and remove cap and base, now get your hand in and feel around the impellor on the top of the pump , and remove any foreign matter. Try propellor on bottom of pump to check if it is free before reassembling.

    Read instructions backwards to refit Hope this helps. 😆

    Re: Fisher and Paykel dryer error

    Have U checked to make sure the vent is not blocked, and also the vent tube inside the dryer for fluff buildup. 🙂

    Re: Smartdrive 603

    Does the W/M beep at you, and if so, which lights are flashing? ❓

    Re: Fisher & Paykel smartdrive 051 won’t spin

    If it sounds like a jet taking off when it spins, the main seal has perished, and you may as well buy a new washing machine due to the age and cost of repairs. It could be a loose rotor, turn off power at wall, tilt back, remove the base panel ( if it is still there ), if there are rusty streaks on the rotor, this is the main seal problem. If the nut on the bottom is loose and there are no rust marks, tighten the nut and retry. Good Luck! 🙂
