On Fisher & Paykel SmartDrive Phase 2 to 6 top-load washers such as the GWL11 and GWL15, code 44 means the Motor Control Module sensed water in the bowl during spin. The cause may be a slow pump-out rate from a partial blockage in the pump hose or pump. The owner sees the spin stop with 44 and finds damp clothes with some water left in the tub.
1. Unplug the washer. 2. Check the drain hose for kinks and make sure it is seated in the standpipe. 3. Check that the household drain runs freely. 4. Bail out any remaining water. 5. Run a drain-and-spin cycle once.
Spinning with water in the bowl strains the motor and can cause splashing. The control stops and flags 44 when it sees water.
It can be, but it can also be the washer pump. Check the household drain first.
They reduce water carried in the clothes, but they do not fix a slow pump-out.
A technician diagnoses it on site and gives you the price in writing before any work starts.
