This Fisher & Paykel GWL15 washer began making strange noises this week. When the water is pumping out, a loud, moaning or grinding sound is made. It also makes the sound after a few minutes at the beginning of the initial fill. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Same thing happened to mine. There's a really simple solution: Lay the unit on it's back or lean it far enough back to have access. The pump is near the front and has a black fan blade on the bottom. Remove the electrical plug on the motor; it just pulls right off. Now look for a white plastic retaining lever near the top of the pump. Hold it out and turn the pump about 1/8 turn counter-clockwise, then it almost falls out. I found a safety pin inside that was causing my noise. Went back together just as easily. Problem solved!!!
Do you know where I can get a Troubleshooting guide and/or Error Code List for the GWL15 US?
I don't have any special access to that info. But, I did a google search, and there are a lot of posts out there about this washer. Everything from how to get the error codes from the washer to what they mean. If you need some more help, send me some more info including your error code and a description of the problem and I will try to help.
