This is a Fisher & Paykel electric drain pump designed for Smartdrive washing machines. The part number is FP430144, and it's equivalent to Part Nos. FP005D, 1030207A. It can replace genuine and other part numbers like FP001, SM00 - 246NR, SD200, etc. This pump suits most early - model Fisher & Paykel washing machines, including those in the Smartdrive, Intuitive, Excellence, Pride AW, GW, LW, MW series from GW500 to GW712, and models like WA55T56G, WA65T60G. However, it's not suitable for models starting with WL, Gentle Annie, or GW52U. The pump has 6.4mm spade terminals. In some cases, this pump may run slower than the original one, but it's the only option available from F&P for these machines. Once installed, it can't be returned. It's easy to fit and comes with a full guarantee. We've been in the appliance parts business for over 25 years, so you can buy with confidence. Also, be aware that long grey water hoses can put extra stress on the pump, leading to higher current draw and potential electronic module faults. Using a siphon break or pumping into a gravity - draining container is advisable when using a grey water hose. Worn or damaged pumps can cause motor control module damage, so replace it if it rattles, screeches, or has intermittent start - up issues.
Using this Fisher & Paykel electric drain pump is straightforward. First, make sure your washing machine is an early - model one that the pump is compatible with, excluding models starting with WL, Gentle Annie, and GW52U. Locate the old pump and carefully remove it, then install the new pump with the 6.4mm spade terminals. Be careful during the installation to ensure a proper fit. As for maintenance, keep an eye on the pump. If you hear it rattling, screeching, or having trouble starting, it's a good idea to replace it as soon as possible to avoid damage to the motor control module. When using a grey water hose, remember to use a siphon break or pump the water into a container where it can flow out under gravity. This will prevent the pump from drawing too much current and causing the electronic module to malfunction. Also, note that once the pump is fitted, it can't be returned, so make sure it's the right part for your machine before installation.
