Error codeNo tap
ApplianceWasher
Quick answer
“No tap” means the washer is not getting enough water and did not reach the required level within the fill time used…
Model compatibility: Fisher & Paykel reuses codes across series and model years, so No tap 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
“No tap” means the washer is not getting enough water and did not reach the required level within the fill time used by the old site.
Signs
Symptoms you may notice
A display message or numeric code may accompany the symptom.
Water level, door/lid or bowl state may matter.
The same number can be platform-dependent on legacy top-load families.
The condition may occur during fill, wash, drain or spin.
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.

When to call a technician
Stop using the washer for an active leak, burning smell, repeated breaker trip, a door/lid that cannot secure safely, or a drum/bowl condition that makes the machine move violently.
Seeing this code on your Fisher & Paykel appliance?
Book a specialist visit for a clear estimate and approval before any repair.
No. The old Fisher record identifies the condition described above, but it does not by itself prove which component has failed. Diagnosis should confirm the cause on the exact model.
Only when the appliance is otherwise safe and the model guidance permits it. A single controlled restart can help separate a transient state from a returning fault, but repeated resets are not a repair for **No tap**.
Provide the full model number, the exact code or symptom, what the appliance was doing when it appeared, and whether the condition returned after any safe owner-level check.
