Code 239 is the second of two lid lock in-line test codes, described as a final check before going to the field.
Model compatibility: Fisher & Paykel reuses codes across series and model years, so 239 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
Phase 6: lid lock fail in-line test (2), a factory end-of-line test code.
Entry details
The manual places 239 beside 238. Heading: “Lid Lock Fail In-Line Test (2)”. The text beneath is a single sentence that echoes the one before it, about final on-line tests ahead of the field.
Phase: 6
Cause stated: none
Action stated: none
Owner steps: none
Short because the source is short
The entry says nothing of what the test measures or of which lid lock part would fail it.
Sensible handling
Write down 239 and the washer’s model number.
Do not apply wiring or lock procedures written for other codes.
Get a technician to confirm the fault on the machine itself.
Lid lock facts elsewhere
Hardware detail sits under code 234, with its harness, lock housing and lid tang, and under code 235, with a resistance figure. The test partner of this code is 238.
239 against 238
Only the number differs between the two manual entries: 238 is test (1), 239 is test (2), and no part is named in either. When both appear on one washer, give the technician both.
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.
