On Fisher & Paykel WH2424 front-load washers, 24 inch models such as the WH2424F1, WH2424P1 and WH2424P2, the message "CLr FLtr" means the pump filter is blocked and needs clearing. The washer cannot drain freely through a clogged filter, so it pauses and shows the message. This is a user warning that an owner can correct. It is a user warning, and the fix is usually quick.
1. Turn the washer off and wait until the water has settled. 2. Place a shallow pan and towels under the filter access at the lower front. 3. Slowly open the filter, let water run out, and remove lint and small items. 4. Refit the filter firmly. 5. Restart. If the message returns, call us.
Check it every few months and whenever you wash pocketed items. Coins, hair ties and lint collect there and trigger "CLr FLtr". Keep a towel handy, since the filter holds some water.
The filter sits low, so water above it drains out when opened. A pan and towels catch it, and opening it slowly controls the flow.
Refit the filter fully and check the drain hose for kinks. If "CLr FLtr" still shows, call us to check the drain pump. We also check the pump if the filter is clear.
A technician diagnoses it on site and gives you the price in writing before any work starts.
