Mend Fisher & Paykel Smart Wash

fisher & paykel smart drive 603?

Quite often my wash, particularly dark items will have "lint" marks. I clean the machine often and have even run the machine with clean hot water. BUT the problem persists.
Any suggestions of how I can elevate this problem would be greatly appreciated.

How Fisher & Paykel Smartdrives get rid of lint is that the drums are designed so that lint goes out the holes/slots but doesn't come back in - theoretically. During the rinse and spin cycles the lint tapped on the outer skin of the drum is flushed away.

If the machine is fairly old and "someone" has been using too much soap powder, then a thick buildup of scale can form on that outer skin thereby blocking the holes/slots.

I fixed one by take the drum out and scraping, almost chiselling, out the the buil-up in the grooves of the outer drum skin and using coat hanger wire to clear the holes/slots. Crappy job to do but it worked for me. Hope this helps. :)
