Code 107 means the Motor Controller of a Fisher & Paykel washer restarted when it should not have. The manual lists replacing the Motor Controller.
Model compatibility: Fisher & Paykel reuses codes across series and model years, so 107 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
The Display module detected an unexpected reset of the Motor Controller module on Phases 2 to 6.
What 107 describes
An unscheduled restart of the Motor Controller module is what 107 reports, as noticed by the Display module. The service manual lists it for Phases 2 to 6.
The reasons offered
Supply disturbance at the Motor Controller: the electrical feed to the module was interrupted or unsteady.
Microprocessor failure: the controlling chip on the module has failed.
Neither is called the more common, and there is no way given to tell them apart without testing.
Manual action
One line only: the Motor Controller module is the primary source and is replaced. No secondary or tertiary source follows.
Contrast with 104, 105 and 106
Those three describe a conversation between Display and Motor Controller that went wrong, and the technician swaps the Display first. With 107 the Motor Controller alone is named, since the Display module merely observed its reset.
Sensible handling
Treat a supply disturbance as an electrical matter and leave the machine closed.
If the washer behaves strangely, unplug it and get it checked.
Keep in mind that the code is the last recorded fault and, as the manual says, needs confirming.
