Fisher & Paykel Washer 127 Error Code: Machine Set-Up

An unusual entry

The usual manual entry points at a part to replace, but 127 states the problem. On Phase 5 washers this is a machine set-up error: the display module in the console belongs to a different model, size or phase.

Colours and part numbers

Its example: a Phase 5 display cannot go with a Phase 4 Motor Controller. Module colour, it says, is a good guide, and part numbers count for a great deal. The Series 11 supplement introduction lists the colours:

• L03: green
• L08 (Phase 4): yellow
• L10 (Phase 5 GW): grey
• L11 (Phase 6 GW): brown

It also says that different coloured modules are never to be combined: they are incompatible, and a washer built that way will not run.

Reading the code

All 127 describes is parts that do not belong together. The entry carries none of the usual primary, secondary or action lines, so nothing further is stated.

Do not

Resist the urge to put other modules into the console to see whether the code clears. That is just what the colour warning is meant to prevent.

Gather before calling

1. The washer’s model name, which identifies the Phase.
2. Any electronic module replaced, and where the new one came from.
3. The replacement’s part number, if the paperwork is to hand.
