What 70 means

On Fisher & Paykel AquaSmart and EcoSmart top-load washers such as the WA37T26EW and WA42T26GW, code 70 is similar to code 69, but it protects against a zero that is too high, which could cause flooding. The washer's empty-tub reference reads higher than it should, so the control stops the cycle. The owner sees 70.

Common causes of 70

  • Pressure transducer zero reading high
  • Sensor damaged
  • Water in the sensor line
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Unplug the washer. 2. Make sure the tub is empty. 3. Plug in and run a short cycle. 4. If 70 returns, call us.

! Why to stop there
  • A high zero risks overfill
  • We test the sensor
  • A written price comes first
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.

Why is a high zero a flood risk?

A wrong high reference can make the washer believe the tub holds less water than it does.

Is 70 the opposite of 69?

Yes, 69 is too low and 70 is too high.

Can I run it?

Not until the sensor reading is checked.
