The documented Fisher & Paykel front-loaders distinguish usage alerts and faults shown as Err followed by a number. The model reference and the full message determine which check applies.
Families covered by this index
The WashSmart/QuickSmart front-load manual consulted includes WashSmart WH7560P1/WH8560P1 and QuickSmart WH7560J1/WH8560J1. Their messages do not transfer to top-loaders, washer-dryers, or different generations.
Before changing settings, take a photo of the display and note whether the machine beeped, stopped, or was waiting. Silencing a beep does not fix the condition that triggered the alert.
Alerts that point to a user action
No TAP points to the supply; out of bAL to load balance; Sud LOC to suds. door Locd and door OPEn distinguish a latched door from an open door. They are not aliases for each other and cannot be resolved by forcing the same closure.
If Err appears with a number
Keep the number and consult the recovery allowed by the manual. If it returns or the document refers you to service, provide the reference and sequence to support. Do not rebuild a numeric table from forums or use a fault from another WashSmart just because it shares the brand name.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do WashSmart and QuickSmart always show the same alerts?
This cannot be guaranteed for all generations. This index uses the specific front-loaders included in the WH7560P1/WH8560P1 and WH7560J1/WH8560J1 manuals.
Is it enough to note Err without the number that comes after it?
No. Err signals a fault, and the number that follows identifies it for service. Photograph both before attempting any recovery steps.
Where do I find the full model number of my Fisher & Paykel washer?
On the appliance rating plate. The manual consulted places identification details on the back and/or above the drum opening; do not move an installed machine or force a door open to access it: check the location specified for your model.
The lookup should preserve the family and the full message; a truncated word or an Err without a number loses information needed for diagnosis.
