Fisher & Paykel SmartDrive Code 192: Motor PWM reset pin connection error

What 192 (SmartDrive) means

On Fisher & Paykel SmartDrive top-load washers in Phases 4 to 5, code 192 is a motor PWM reset pin connect error. The motor control module has sensed an open circuit between pins 30 and 31, and the motor cannot operate with that condition. The drum will not run, and the washer displays the number. The pins are on the control, so owner steps are limited to a power reset.

Common causes of 192 (SmartDrive)

Open circuit between pins 30 and 31 on the motor control module
Connector or harness not making contact
Motor control module circuit failing

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Press power off and unplug the washer for one minute. 2. Plug it back in and start a short cycle with an empty drum. 3. Make sure the washer is not being moved or bumped, which can shake a loose connector. 4. If code 192 comes back, stop using it and call; the pins are on the module inside the cabinet.

! Why to stop there

An open circuit between two pins needs a continuity test and the cabinet open
The motor will not run until the circuit is closed
Handling motor drive wiring is not an owner task

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

192 (SmartDrive)192 (SmartDrive) questions

What is the PWM reset pin?

PWM is the way the module controls motor power. Code 192 says the reset connection between pins 30 and 31 is open, so the motor cannot operate.

Is it a wiring problem or a bad module?

Either is possible. A loose connector is the simpler repair; a failed circuit on the module is the other. We test before recommending parts.

Will you quote before starting?

Yes, in writing, and the repair carries a 30-day workmanship warranty.
