How To Replace The Drain Pump on A Fisher Paykel Washer

To change the drain pump on a Fisher & Paykel washer, first, ensure the appliance is disconnected from the power source. Access the pump by tilting the washer back or laying it on its front, depending on the model. Locate the pump at the bottom of the machine, typically secured by clips or screws. Disconnect the wiring harness from the pump, taking note of the connections for reassembly. Remove the hoses attached to the pump, being prepared for residual water spillage. Once the hoses are disconnected, release the pump from its mounting bracket.

Install the new pump by reversing the removal process. Secure the pump onto the mounting bracket, reattach the hoses ensuring a tight fit to prevent leaks, and reconnect the wiring harness as previously noted. After the new pump is installed, restore power to the washer and run a test cycle to ensure the pump is operating correctly and there are no leaks. This process may vary slightly based on the specific model of the Fisher & Paykel washer, so consulting the user manual or technical documentation for the exact procedure is advisable.

How To Replace The Diverter Valve on A Fisher Paykel Washer

To change the diverter valve on a Fisher & Paykel washer, first ensure the machine is unplugged from the power source for safety. Access the diverter valve by removing the back or bottom panel of the washer, depending on your specific model. The diverter valve is usually located near the pump, distinguishable by the hoses connected to it and an electrical connection.

Start by disconnecting the electrical harness from the valve, remembering its orientation for reconnection. Carefully detach the hoses connected to the diverter valve, being prepared for any water that may drain out. Remove any screws or clips holding the valve in place and gently take out the old diverter valve. Install the new valve by positioning it in place and securing it with screws or clips. Reattach the hoses and the electrical harness, ensuring they are firmly connected. Once everything is reassembled, plug the washer back in and run a test cycle to confirm the new diverter valve functions correctly and that there are no leaks. As models may vary, refer to the washer's manual or technical guide for specific details related to your model.
