On Fisher & Paykel AquaSmart and EcoSmart top-load washers such as the WA37T26EW and WA42T26GW, and SmartDrive Phase 2 to 6 models like the GWL11, code 49 shows the Motor Control Module has measured a voltage from the valve diagnostic circuit that indicates the cold valve is not working. The most likely cause is a valve harness that is not connected correctly or an open-circuit valve. Cold fills fail, and the owner sees 49.
1. Unplug the washer. 2. Make sure the cold faucet is open and its hose is not kinked. 3. Plug in and run a cold-water cycle. 4. If 49 returns, stop and call us.
Possibly, because the hot valve is separate. A warm or hot cycle may fill while a cold-only cycle fails.
A closed faucet usually gives a fill-time message, not 49.
48 means both valves read wrong. 49 is cold only.
A technician diagnoses it on site and gives you the price in writing before any work starts.
