421171 Genuine Touch Panel for Fisher & Paykel GW Series Washing Machines, Top Loader Control Console Touch Panel

Built for F&P's GW washing machines, 421171 is the genuine Fisher & Paykel touch panel for that range. A companion panel for MW models is a different part, so the letters at the start of your model number decide which one you need. The panel is the front surface you press to pick a program and options. Check that your model begins with GW and look for 421171 on its parts list, or send us the full model number.

GW washer buttons not responding?

The touch panel is the part of the console your fingers actually press. Behind it, the buttons pass each press to the display board, which then tells the motor controller what to do. Over time the panel can crack, peel, lift at the edges or let moisture in, and buttons may stop working, need a hard press, or trigger the wrong option. If the panel looks fine but the whole console is dead, the display board, wiring or motor controller is the more likely culprit.

Replacing the touch panel

Unplug the washer and turn the taps off before opening the console. Release the top deck or console cover as your model requires, and note how the panel sits against the display board so you can line the new one up exactly. Keep the area dry and free of dust. After reassembly, press each button in turn and run a short cycle to confirm every option responds.
