Fault 58 comes up as a cycle begins, when the stored transducer count is above what the Display expects.
Model compatibility: Fisher & Paykel reuses codes across series and model years, so 58 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
On Pause or Delay Start the Display found the stored pressure transducer count greater than expected on Phase 4 and 5 machines.
Meaning of the title
Fault 58 is listed by the manual for Phase 4 and 5 machines under a pressure transducer heading. That transducer is the water-level sensor, built into the Motor Controller module.
At the start of a cycle
Pressing Pause or Delay Start to start the washer triggers the check. The Display reads a count stored in memory, and when that count is larger than it should be, fault 58 is raised. No leak, hose problem or odd load is described in the manual, only a stored number outside its limits.
Entry summary
Source named first: the Motor Controller module.
Remedy: a new Motor Controller module.
Applies to Phases 4 and 5.
Nothing is listed for the owner to check.
For the owner
The source gives the owner nothing to try. Keep a note of the code and model, and have the washer switched off and unplugged before it is opened.
To get 58 looked at in Los Angeles, phone (310) 872-1939 (see also the washer repair overview). Have the model number ready and note whether the code appeared straight after pressing Pause or Delay Start.
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.
