424210 Genuine Neck Ring Assembly 68 for Fisher & Paykel Top Load Washing Machines, Outer Bowl Neckring Replacement

424210 is the genuine Fisher & Paykel neck ring assembly in the 68 size, for F&P top load washers. A 60 size neck ring is also made, part 424939, and the two suit different machines, so confirm the size of yours before ordering. Model numbers aren't recorded against this part, which means the surest checks are the number on your parts list or the old ring, or a quick enquiry with your model and serial number.

What the neck ring does in a top loader

The neck ring sits around the top of the outer bowl, just under the lid opening. It forms the lip that guides water back into the bowl, keeps clothes from climbing over the edge during a spin, and helps stop splashes reaching the cabinet. A cracked, warped or loose neck ring can let water escape onto the floor, allow clothes to fall between the bowls, or cause rubbing and snagging during the wash. Look for splits around the clips and any signs of water under the top deck.

Changing the neck ring

Turn the washer off at the wall and close the taps. The top deck normally needs to be lifted to reach the neck ring, so take care with the wiring and hoses attached to it. Unclip the old ring all the way round, clean the rim of the bowl, and seat the new 68 ring evenly so every clip engages. Run a rinse and spin while watching for leaks.

Questions about this part

Should I order the 60 or the 68 neck ring?

It depends on your washer. Fisher & Paykel makes both sizes, and many parts in its top loaders come in matching 60 and 68 versions. Send your model and serial number through the parts enquiry form and we'll confirm which ring you need.
