NA-168VX2, NA-168VG2, NA-148A2, NA-128VA2, NA-147VB2, NA-16VX1, NA-16VG1, NA-14VA1 Get spare parts in our store
Before you start any investigation of the fault or even remove the lid of the washing machine or washer dryer please read and fully understand this article in full and pay particular attention to the safety and information notices at the bottom of this page as they contain extremely important information!
Please remember to support our site by buying Panasonic washing machine spares from our store and, if you decide that you really need a washing machine engineer please support the local washing machine repairers that help make this site possible, you can search for a local Panasonic washing machine repairer using our engineer search. It is worth noting that at the time of writing that Pansonic spares are very hard to get indeed and that engineers have limited access to both spares and technical support. This may lead to difficulty in obtaining spare parts and also service other than from Panasonic themselves. It is also worth pointing out that Panasonic, on this range, use spare parts that have attached connectors on them. This means that using pattern parts is not possible, you will only have the option of Panasonic spares with no alternative.

You also have to understand that fault or error codes are not a "magic bullet", they will not tell you what the problem is, they will only offer you an indication of where the problem lies and they are no substitute for good old fashioned diagnostic skills. You can find out more about what fault codes actually tell you in this article . So please be well aware that, even with this new found knowledge you will still have to actually be capable of investigating and diagnosing the problem and this means adhering to basic appliance safety for working on them. As, if you don't and tell the engineers in the forums that you hooked up components to a live feed, worked on a live appliance and so on they will be a whole heap less willing to help you in our washing machine forum because they will assume that you are trying to commit suicide and are not safe working on your machine.
Please do note that manufacturers can and do change fault codes without notice and we cannot guarantee that these error codes will apply to your particular model as all codes apply to a wide range of appliances and not normally any one specific model. To determine if these fault codes do apply to your particular Panasonic washing machine or washer dryer model please post a request to confirm this in the forums.
