Fisher & Paykel washing machine code table

Scan by code, meaning, and severity, then open the exact detail page when you need step-by-step guidance.

F01
The washer has detected an internal fault with the electronic control board. This code points to a problem with the main circuit board that controls the wash cycle, and cannot be resolved by the user.
high severity
F02
The washer has detected a fault in the motor circuit. This indicates an electrical problem between the control board and the drive motor, or a failure of the motor itself.
high severity
F03
The washer's temperature sensor (thermistor) has reported a reading outside the expected range. The washer cannot accurately monitor water temperature, which prevents heated wash cycles from completing safely.
medium severity
F04
The washer has detected a direct fault with the drive motor. The motor is not responding correctly to control commands, which may prevent the drum from spinning or agitating.
high severity
F05
The washer cannot drain water within the expected time. This is most commonly caused by a blockage in the drain filter or hose rather than a pump failure, making it one of the more user-fixable Fisher & Paykel fault codes.
medium severity
F06
The washer cannot confirm that the door is properly locked. The door lock mechanism is a safety device — the washer will not spin or agitate unless the door is securely locked.
medium severity
no tAP
The washer is not receiving water from the household supply. The display variants indicate which supply is affected: 'no tAP' means no water at all, 'no hot' means the hot supply is absent, and 'no Cld' means cold water is missing. All require checking the supply connections.
medium severity
out oF bAL
The washer has detected that the load is unevenly distributed in the drum. To prevent vibration damage, the washer stops the spin cycle and displays this message. This is a user condition, not a component fault.
low severity
Sud LOC
The washer has detected too many suds (foam) in the drum. Excess suds prevent the drum from rinsing effectively and can cause the washer to extend the cycle or stop. This is almost always caused by using too much detergent or the wrong type.
low severity
too FUL
The washer detects that the drum is overloaded. An overloaded washer cannot tumble or agitate the laundry effectively, resulting in poor wash results and stress on the motor and suspension.
low severity
