WM65 BIB DEFLECTOR – April 1994– Phase 1 only
Fisher & Paykel have introduced a new bib deflector with 3 vertical fins to replace the early Phase 1 deflector part number 425768. It is recommended that whenever a phase 1 Smartdrive is serviced the new bib part number 425968 be fitted.
This replacement deflector is designed to drain the water from the inlet nozzle prior to Smartdrive entering the last spin. In some cases with an out of balance load, the residual water in the nozzle can be sucked out during the high speed spin and results in water leaking onto the floor.
When installing the new bib, push the bib backwards so that the 2 outer fins come in contact with the nozzle. This will leave a small gap between the center fin and nozzle and create a capillary effect which will drain the residual water from the nozzle.
WM70 PREMATURE OUT OF BALANCE – February 1995 – Phase 2 only
Kit Lever Out of Balance & Bracket Phase 2 - Part Number 502220
Fisher & Paykel have made changes to the out of balance lever and bracket to eliminate premature tripping to the micro switch.
The lever now has a small leaf spring moulded into the back top section which rests on a raised section on the underside of the bracket, preventing the lever from being accidentally activated by vibration. A kit part number 502220 lever out of Balance and Bracket Phase 2. It is important that both parts are used as the new lever is ineffective in the old bracket. Smartdrive manufactured since late Phase 2 have the new out of balance lever and bracket fitted.
