Fischer Paykel Smart Drive?

Our older Fischer Paykel Smart Drive washer doesn't drain after rinse. How do I use the fault codes to troubleshoot the problem?
Charles, May 2012
You don't. If it is not draining then you check the drain pump and find out why. Start by putting it on final spin & press start. Listen for any noise from drain pump area (lower front right) If you can hear a humming noise that tells you the drain pump is trying to spin but is blocked or seized. Bail out as much water as possible by hand, then tip machine back against wall (or remove pump access cover if it has one) Try turning pump by hand & see if it comes free. If it does, stand machine back on feet then try spin again. Keep trying until it runs & drains last of water out then remove pump & clear rubbish. If you don't hear any humming noise then either pump is faulty or no power is getting to it. You will then need a test meter to fault find the answer.
