Your CleanSmart™ is capable of diagnosing its own problems. If your washer gives a musical series of beeps every 5 seconds it is telling you that it has a problem which you can correct yourself with the help of the checklists on the following pages.
Your machine sounds a musical series of beeps* every 5 seconds and displays a user warning on the screen:
“no hot” (no hot – I am not getting any hot water) |
Check that the hot water supply has been turned on. |
Your hot water supply may not be hot enough to maintain the selected water temperature. |
Select a lower wash temperature. |
Check that the inlet hose filter is not blocked. |
Check that the inlet hoses are not kinked or squashed. |
Check that the inlet hoses have been connected to the correct taps. |
The flow rate of the supply water may be too slow. |
“no Cld” (no cold – I am not getting any cold water) |
Check that the cold water supply has been turned on. |
Your cold water temperature may exceed the recommended limits (refer to 'Installation instructions'). |
Check that the inlet hose filter is not blocked. |
Check that the inlet hoses are not kinked or squashed. |
Check that the inlet hoses have been connected to the correct taps. |
The flow rate of the supply water may be too slow. |
“out oF bAL” (out of balance) |
Wash load is out of balance. |
Ensure the machine is stationary and manually redistribute the load. |
Check your machine is level (refer to 'Installation instructions'). |
 |
* The beeps are the same sound your washer makes when you turn it on at the wall
|
“Sud LOC” (suds lock – I have too many suds) |
Your machine has a suds build-up. Too much detergent may have been used for the amount of soil in the load. |
Ensure that you are using a HE, Low Sudsing, Matic or Front Loader type detergent. |
Wait for suds to dissolve (about 20 minutes). |
Restart the cycle from the start (do not add more detergent). |
Check the standpipe height does not exceed 2400 mm. |
If using the DUAL WASH option, reduce the amount of detergent placed in the detergent dispenser. |
“Lid LOC” or “Lid OPn” (lid lock or lid open – I can’t lock the lid or the lid is open) |
Check that the lid is closed. |
Press START / PAUSE (refer to 'CleanSmart™ safety features'). |
If the symptom persists, call your Fisher & Paykel Authorised Repairer. |
“too FUL” (too full – I am overloaded) |
Your machine is overloaded and cannot continue the cycle. |
Ensure the machine is stationary and remove items until the remaining ones can move freely. |
Check that the machine is not siphoning (refer to 'Installation instructions'). |
