The WA37T26EW is documented in EcoSmart service manual 479602, dated April 2010 and issued from Fisher & Paykel Appliances Inc in Huntington Beach, California — which dates it neatly to the last stretch of the brand’s US laundry business. The same book covers the larger WA42T26GW, and the two are diagnosed identically; the product code stamped on the rating plate, 96186 for the US build, is what tells a parts supplier which variant is actually in front of them.
