Update on moldy Fisher and Paykel Washing MAchine
Comments (27)Fact is, you hijacked a thread that had NOTHING to do with FL so you could post the same c*** you�ve been posting ALL over this forum. No one reading this post about TL issues cares about what you perceive about FL. If you can prove exactly 80% of what I say is BS - everyone on this forum would love to read it. You're just a bully who thinks he's always right and who thinks everything he buys is "THE BEST". I perceive that�s because you perceive you are SO much smarter than everyone else. Ya, sadly I�ve seen your posts on the appliance forum also. You have to jump on every thread you can find to tell everyone all about your great stuff. We've all read it OVER and OVER again. Don't you get tired of typing the same words all the time?? I sure get tired of reading them. Why don�t you try adding real value to a conversation?...See Morefisher and paykel washing machine issue
Comments (1)I assume you mean EcoSmart. There are several models that carry the name. Your specific model is needed differentiate the details. Tags are on back of the console, and also back of the machine's cabinet (including the Product Code, which is relevant to ordering parts)....See MoreFisher Paykel GWL11 Washing machine repair

Comments (6)There's not much appreciable difference between this new model and the previous EcoSmart units (GWL11, GWL15, etc.). The new models are larger capacity and spin 100 RPM faster. The aesthetics are redesigned (cabinet, lid, control panel). WashSmart adds a specific Bleach option, which modifies the rinse process in some way. Softener option was on previous models, which also modifies the rinse (to an agitated deep-fill rinse instead of water-saving spin-shower sequence) so liquid softener is properly distributed into the clothes. I don't know what's the difference between Bleach rinse and Softener rinse but presumably there is some difference. The user documentation (available for download at F&P's web site) doesn't make clear if Bleach and Softener options can be selected together, but I would venture a guess to the affirmative. As on all F&P washers on the U.S. market, there are five wash temperatures, plus a Controlled-Cold option. The extra two temps (beyond the usual Cold, Warm, and Hot) are Warm/Cold (half-way between Cold and Warm) and Warm/Hot (approx mid-way between Warm and Hot). Rinses are *always* Cold. The non-Cold choices are controlled to specific target temps (ATC). Something like 95ðF (Warm/Cold), 104ðF (Warm), 122ðF (Warm/Hot, assuming the household supply is at least 122ðF), and 140ðF/tap-hot (Hot). Controlled Cold option changes the Cold selection from tap-cold to controlled to no less than 68ðF. It uses less energy than Speed Queen by way of F&P's Eco Active wash process. Eco Active wash works thusly (all cycles except Allergy): 1) Initial fill at the selected temperature with only enough water to saturate the clothes, dissolve the detergent, and keep the pump primed for recirculation. 2) The concentrated solution is showered over the load for 4 minutes while the drum rotates at 25 RPM as a pretreatment. 3) The machine then fills rest of the way with COLD water for an agitated wash period. The Allergy cycle eliminates the energy savings and runs a full-fill agitated wash at the selected temperature (full tap-hot if selected). Some water savings is garnered via shower rinsing on the Heavy and Regular cycles (unless Bleach and/or Softener options are selected). Show rinsing provides several alternating extraction-spins and 25 RPM saturation showers. Delicate, Easy Iron (Perm Press), and Quick cycles run a traditional spin-spray and agitated rinse. Allergy cycle provides spin-sprays and two agitated rinses....See MoreWashingtonKayaker
