Fisher & Paykel Washer Error Code 192

Error code 192 indicates a Motor PWM Reset Pin Connect Fault. The Motor Controller has detected an open circuit between pins 30 and 31, which are part of the Phase 4 to 5 motor control circuit. Because of this fault, the motor controller cannot operate the motor, and the washer will not spin or agitate until the fault is resolved.

The washer should not be used while this error is active. Because the fault prevents the motor from operating, the machine cannot complete a wash cycle normally, and attempting to run it could leave laundry sitting in water or cause additional stress on other components. Discontinue use until the fault is diagnosed and repaired.

A simple power reset is unlikely to permanently clear error code 192 because the fault is tied to a hardware condition: specifically an open circuit between pins 30 and 31 of the Motor Controller. If the underlying connection issue or controller failure is still present, the error will return as soon as the machine attempts to operate the motor. The root cause must be repaired for the code to stay cleared.

A knowledgeable DIYer can begin by inspecting the wiring harness connector at pins 30 and 31 of the Motor Controller for loose connections, bent pins, or visible corrosion. If the connectors look intact and clean, the next step is replacement of the Motor Controller module, which requires some comfort working with appliance electrical components. If you are unsure about handling internal wiring or sourcing the correct part, a qualified technician is the safer option.

If the issue is simply a loose or corroded connector, the repair cost is minimal, primarily covering a service call fee. If the Motor Controller module requires replacement, parts and labor costs typically range from around $200 to $500 or more depending on your location and the specific model. Getting a quote before authorizing repairs is recommended.
