Fisher & Paykel Washer Error Code 43

• Power down the washer completely by turning off the dedicated circuit breaker for 60 seconds, then turn it back on to reset the appliance control system • Visually inspect the door frame, seal, and latch area for any visible damage, cracks, or debris • Ensure the washer door or lid closes completely and seats evenly without gaps • Listen for unusual clicking or grinding sounds when closing the door—these may indicate mechanical damage • Check that nothing is blocking or preventing the door from closing fully (clothing, detergent dispensers, etc.) • Verify the power cord is fully inserted into the wall outlet and the outlet is functioning properly • Test the outlet by plugging in another appliance to confirm power delivery • Inspect the circuit breaker panel to ensure the washer's breaker has not tripped; reset if necessary • Confirm both hot and cold water supply valves behind the washer are turned on fully • Check inlet hoses for kinks, pinches, or crushing that could affect water pressure sensors • Run an empty test cycle to see if the error recurs without a load • Ensure you are not overloading the washer, as excessive weight can prevent proper door closure • If the error persists after these checks, contact a professional appliance repair technician or appliance repair support service for diagnosis and repair of the door lock assembly
