430202NAP Genuine Motor Controller Main Board for Fisher & Paykel Top Load Washing Machines WA8060E1 WA8060G1 WA7060M2 WA8560G1 424940NAP

A top loader that won't start, stops mid-cycle or keeps flashing fault codes may need a new controller. 430202NAP is the genuine Fisher & Paykel motor controller module, the main electronic board in the machine, supplied as a 230V service part for Australia and New Zealand. It is listed for the WA7060M2, the WA8060E1 and WA8060G1, and the WA8560G1, and is cross referenced to 424940NAP.

Signs the motor controller has failed

In these Fisher & Paykel top loaders the motor controller board is the brain of the machine. It drives the motor through agitate and spin and works with the other electronics to run each wash program. Power surges, moisture reaching the board and plain age can all damage components on it. Faults include no response at power on, a washer that beeps and shows a fault code, one that fills but won't agitate or spin, erratic behaviour partway through a cycle, or a burnt electrical smell.

Before you replace the board

Unplug the washer before touching any wiring and give the board time to discharge. Write down the fault code if one is showing, and check the motor, wiring and pump first, as a fault elsewhere can damage a new board. Photograph every plug, handle the board by its edges and reconnect each plug firmly in its original socket. If you aren't confident with electronics, have a qualified technician fit it.

Questions about this part

Will a new board fix my fault code?

Only if the board is the cause. Fault codes often point to a motor, sensor, pump or wiring problem rather than the controller itself, so have the code diagnosed before ordering. Swapping the board without finding the root cause can see the new one fail too.
