Cooking Refrigeration Dishwashing Laundry Customer Care
 
 

Having learned about electronic drive systems through our flexible manufacturing equipment, we applied the knowledge to driving appliances. The world’s first appliance using Brushless Direct Current Motors was introduced in the 1980’s. This design later gave way to the development of the Smart Drive™ clothes washer.

 

This became our hero product as we established the "Fisher & Paykel" brand in Australia. Refrigerators were also a key product line in this market where the Company under went remarkable growth.




The next platform innovation was the DishDrawer™ dishwasher. This too was an evolution of the washer technology. Using smart electronics to control brushless DC motors that could be constructed to fit in a minimum of space. The flexibility, convenience and style created a genuine difference from our competitors. This product has lead our export drive into the USA and Europe.


The latest in the line up is the SmartLoad™ Dryer developed for the USA market that is the world’s first large capacity top loading dryer. It stands along side the Smart Drive™ washer and employs similar technology.


Active Smart™ refrigerators, Aerotech™ wallovens and clothes dryers have all evolved to include electronic control systems and features that deliver performance benefits to our customers.
