Fisher & Paykel WL42T26CW1 Service

Fisher & Paykel washer

Most common issues on this model

  1. Wear in the bearing and shaft under big wet loads
  2. Diverter valve trouble
  3. Drain pump blockage
  4. Heavy shaking in spin from tired suspension

The WL42T26CW1 is a 4.2 cubic foot AquaSmart top-loader, marketed in both countries with an ENERGY STAR rating and no longer made. A tub this size takes heavy wet loads, comforters among them, so the bearing and the shaft carry weight that smaller machines never see.

That load is the reason for the first thing we check: how the basket rides when we turn it by hand. A rough or wobbly basket points to bearing and shaft wear, which is costly if it is left. After that we test the diverter, clear the drain pump and examine the suspension, since heavy vibration in spin is the next sign of age.

Written pricing comes first, and a 30-day workmanship warranty covers the repair.

WL42T26CW1WL42T26CW1 questions
Why does my WL42T26CW1 wobble when it spins?

A worn suspension or a worn bearing lets the basket shift. We turn the basket by hand, inspect the rods, and level the machine to see which part is worn.

Can large comforters harm the washer?

Heavy wet loads strain the bearing and suspension. If the machine handles them with a loud thump, it needs a look. We check the shaft and suspension and tell you the cost in writing.

Does it learn my water supply?

The adaptive control tunes itself to your supply. Swapping a part can reset that learning, so the first loads can differ. We explain what to expect before we leave.
