Code 192 reports an open circuit between pins 30 and 31 of the Motor Controller, so the motor cannot run. The remedy given is module replacement.
Model compatibility: Fisher & Paykel reuses codes across series and model years, so 192 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
Motor PWM reset pin connect fault: open circuit between pins 30 and 31 at the Motor Controller, so the motor cannot operate.
192 in the manual’s own terms
Title: “Motor PWM Reset Pin Connect Fault”.
Machines: Phase 4 and 5.
Detected condition: an open circuit between pins 30 and 31 as seen by the Motor Controller.
Result: the manual states that the motor cannot operate.
Terms explained
Pulse-width modulation (PWM) is a usual way to regulate the power going to a motor. Here the controller finds the link between the two named pins broken, and an open circuit is just a path with no electrical connection.
Cause and remedy
Primary source
Motor Controller module
Action
Replace the Motor Controller module
Owner steps
None given
Using the washer meanwhile
While the open circuit exists the motor will not run. Power the washer off, take the plug out of the socket and leave the panels fitted. A technician changes the module as one unit.
Other pin and motor codes
The manual contains further pin-connect faults. Code 163 is the valve reset pin version and blocks the cold valve. If the motor never starts, code 136 describes a motor stall and code 54 a motor step fail with no current detected.

The binary string
The manual prints 11000000 beside the entry. That is its internal coding of the number and has no use for an owner. The entry itself runs to three short lines: a cause, a consequence and an action.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
