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 and the recirculation path on the list of things to check first when an owner reports clothes coming out dry in patches or barely wetted.
