Fisher & Paykel Top-Load Washer Code 220: EEPROM model map not programmed

What 220 means

On Fisher & Paykel AquaSmart and EcoSmart top-load washers such as the WA37T26EW and WA42T26GW, code 220 means the EEPROM model map is not programmed. The memory that tells the control which washer model it runs holds no valid map, a condition similar to code 60. Without it the control does not know how to operate the machine, and the number shows on the display.

Common causes of 220

EEPROM model map blank or not programmed
Replacement control module not set up for this washer
Memory corrupted on the control

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Switch the washer off and unplug it for one minute. 2. Plug it back in and try starting a cycle. 3. If a control board or display was recently replaced, tell us when you call. 4. If code 220 stays, do not keep trying. The model map has to be programmed with service tools, not at the owner level.

! Why to stop there

Programming a model map needs service tools and the correct data
Power cycling cannot write a missing map into memory
A mismatched module needs a technician to match it to the washer

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.

220220 questions

What is a model map?

It is information stored in the EEPROM that tells the control which washer it is running. Code 220 means that information has not been programmed.

Why would it be missing?

Often because a replacement module has not been set up for the machine. Tell us if the board or display was changed recently.

Can you fix it at home?

We bring service tools to program the map. You get a written price before we start, and the work has a 30-day workmanship warranty.
