Fisher & Paykel WA42T26GW Service

Fisher & Paykel washer

Most common issues on this model

  1. Drain pump blocked or failed
  2. Inlet valve stuck open or slow to open
  3. Motor control module trouble
  4. Worn bearing and lip seal letting water into the cabinet base

The WA42T26GW is a 4.2 cubic foot EcoSmart top-loader, the larger partner to the WA37T26EW, and no longer sold new. Its US product code is 96193 and its Canadian code is 96194, on an otherwise common machine, so parts are matched by the base model.

Larger tubs bring more water weight on the bearing and the lip seal, and a damp cabinet base is our cue to look there. For a no-fill or constant-fill call, we turn to the inlet valve. The diagnostic mode gives us a direct pump and valve test, so we decide between a pump, a valve and a control module without guessing.

We quote in writing before starting and back the repair with a 30-day workmanship warranty.

WA42T26GWWA42T26GW questions
Do the US and Canadian codes change the repair?

The machine is common to both, so the repair steps match. We read the full number from the label to match parts and confirm availability before the visit.

Why is there water at the base of the cabinet?

Check for a hose leak first. If the hoses are dry, the lip seal and bearing are wearing, and water is seeping down the shaft. We confirm with a run test and quote the repair.

The washer will not stop filling. What is wrong?

The inlet valve is sticking open. We run the valve test, shut off the supply, and replace the valve. Turn off the water at the wall until we arrive to avoid overflow.
