At 4.2 cu. ft. the WA42T26GW was the larger of the two machines Fisher & Paykel bundled into service manual 479602, and it carries two product codes — 96193 for the US build and 96194 for Canada — on hardware that is otherwise the same. The extra basket volume is the reason bearing and lip-seal […]

One question comes up about the WA42T26GW1 more than any other, and it is worth answering plainly: it does not heat its own water. Like the rest of Fisher & Paykel’s US EcoSmart top-loaders it mixes hot and cold from the household supply through its inlet valves, so a complaint of “no hot water” on […]

The WA3927G1 is one of the WashSmart top-loaders Fisher & Paykel built to US capacities, and it has a quirk worth checking before anything is dismantled: it carries a set of user-changeable pre-set options that the factory documented in a separate five-page quick-start guide. A machine that suddenly “washes wrong” — wrong temperature, wrong spin, […]

At 4.1 cu. ft. the WA4127G1 sat near the top of what Fisher & Paykel offered US buyers in a top-loader, and the extra capacity is exactly why out-of-balance complaints are the commonest reason one gets booked in. A large wet load in a machine whose suspension has aged will trip the control’s balance detection […]

AquaSmart was Fisher & Paykel’s answer to the low-water top-loader, and the WL26CW1 shares its user guide with the WL37T26C — a single trilingual book issued for the US and Canada. The wash action relies on moving a small volume of water around the load rather than filling the bowl, which puts the diverter valve […]

The WL26CW2 is a running revision of the AquaSmart WL26C rather than a new machine, and Fisher & Paykel’s guidance about the adaptive control applies to it unchanged: efficiency is not reached on day one, and the washer needs about five cycles to settle to the water pressure and temperature it is actually connected to. […]

Of all the AquaSmart machines Fisher & Paykel sold in the US, the WL37T26CW2 is the one with the deepest paper trail — a 79-page service manual written for this model rather than a supplement to something else. That document is the reason a technician can work through an AquaSmart problem methodically instead of guessing: […]

The WL37T26DW2 is the D-revision of Fisher & Paykel’s 3.7 cu. ft. AquaSmart, and the revision letter is the part that matters when ordering: the C and D machines look nearly identical from the front but do not share every console and control part. On the wash side nothing fundamental changed, so the diverter, pump […]

The K-revision WL37T26KW2 sits late in the AquaSmart run, by which point Fisher & Paykel had folded the model into a single 116-page series guide rather than a book per machine. For an owner that is actually good news: the documentation that survives covers several closely related AquaSmart washers at once, so finding the correct […]

The WL37T27DW2 is one of the variants that makes AquaSmart model numbers confusing: it is a 3.7 cu. ft. machine like the T26 models, but the T27 designation marks a different build, and ordering parts against the wrong one is a common way to waste a trip. Underneath, it is the same combination Fisher & […]
