Do you have a question about the GW711 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Yes it will not drain water and spin
The Fisher & Paykel GW711 may not be draining water and spinning due to the following reasons:
1. Suds Build-up: If too much detergent was used, suds may have formed, preventing proper drainage. Wait for about 20 minutes for the suds to dissolve and then perform a deep rinse.
2. Out of Balance Load: If the wash load is unbalanced, the machine may stop spinning. Ensure the machine is stationary, manually redistribute the load, and check that the machine is level.
3. Unfamiliar Light Pattern: If an unfamiliar pattern of lights is displayed, turn the machine off at the wall, wait 60 seconds, then turn it back on. Also, check that the machine is level and remove the load before retrying.
If the issue persists, further troubleshooting or service from an authorized Fisher & Paykel service center may be required.
