Fisher & Paykel SmartDrive Phase 4-5 Code 59: display ID out of range

What 59 means

Code 59 on Fisher & Paykel SmartDrive Phase 4 to 5 top-load washers means the ID is out of range. When the washer starts, the display module checks its physical ID and finds a value outside the allowed range. The washer cannot confirm what it is, so it stops at start-up and shows 59. It shows on start-up, before any cycle begins.

Common causes of 59

Display module physical ID reading out of range
Display module and control not matching
Display connection or module problem

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Turn the washer off and unplug it, or switch off its breaker, for one minute. 2. Restore power and press the power button. 3. Do not load clothes until the display starts normally. 4. If 59 appears on start-up again, call us with the model number.

! Why to stop there

The ID check happens inside the display module, which owners cannot service.
Wrong or damaged display parts need to be replaced with the correct version.
We quote in writing and give a 30-day workmanship warranty.

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.

5959 questions

When does 59 show up?

At start-up, when the display checks its physical ID. If the value is outside the allowed range, the washer reports 59 right away. The ID is checked each time the washer is powered on.

Is it like the size switch code 9?

It is in the same family of display-matching checks, but 59 is about the display's ID value rather than the size switch setting. Code 59 checks the display ID, whereas code 9 checks the size switch.

Will unplugging help?

A reset can clear a start-up glitch. If 59 returns each time, the display module or its connection needs a technician. Bring the full model number to the call.
