The most awesome thing your washing machine can do

[@KiwiBrotherhood]

hahaha, it's awesome! we just tried it on our machine. My home stay mom was so happy and started singing along the tone.....i went wooohooooo!!!!

[@setramseys1]

Thank you! A song close to my heart, even when played by a washing machine!

[@jejekoma]

That is awesomely random. I'm so going to play this on my mum's machine when I visit her in the weekend.

[@revolver230979]

Just did this on my washing machine, really works! Makes me proud to be a kiwi, even our washing machines have a sense of humour.

[@Madison249731]

What the flipnuggets!!!! That was the most excitement I've had all day :)

[@BlindReaper05]

I called my mum as soon as I watched this video. I could hear it going in the background. It does work.

[@AngryRambro]

Amazing machines, I converted one into a pelton wheel generator to power my house... no more power bills!

[@bortexgaming3972]

Are you for real? Lmao

[@AngryRambro]

@@bortexgaming3972 yep look at the last vid on my channel, showing how i did it

[@LoganT547]

@@bortexgaming3972 Yep, the BLDC motors in these machines are massive and make very good generators.

God of nations at thy feet, in the bonds of love we meet, hear our voices we entreat, God defend our free land

[@ivanhensman7733]

Not often I stand to attention in front of my washing machine!! What a hoot.

[@justsaying2000]

Known that little trick for years.... used it on customers all the time... usually asked them if they knew the words to the NZ national anthem first.... then played them the tune lol 9 times out of ten they would buy it, and walk out of the shop still smiling haha

[@57worldwide]

It's hilarious that a Fisher & Paykel appliance can make you homesick.

[@Lima33ish]

Haha that is so cool. I so tried it, as soon as I saw this. I had no idea, my washing machine could sing. :D Thank you for sharing! :D

[@Herculeon]

That is HILARIOUS!! Sharing that!

[@annyconda]

Holy ****!! This totally made my night. Greatest sneaky thingy ever.

[@darkjudicator]

Awesome. My washing machine is clearly unpatriotic and wishes it was Kiwi as well. Had to turn it off at the powerpoint and back on to make it wash again, but totally worth it for the confused look on my wife's face when she heard it. :D

[@houseoflords100]

I LOVE this! I wonder if washing machines from Australia would sing "Advance Australia fair!"???

[@sueprice6492]

Made me homesick for NZ, our national anthem x

[@natimpact]

God Defend New Zealand! I miss NZ, can't wait to go back! Nothing's like home!

[@melcribb2315]

Omg my Aussie washing machine plays the NZ national anthem, that's awesome! Lol

[@RuzzaBuzza]

For a second there i was concerned but then i realized that everyone has that exact washing machine.

[@xxSpammy]

Haha, that's so awesome! I just tried with our F&P washing machine, so cool! :D

[@pamdilts1351]

Hi kiwiladyus I read something about this on facebook where someone had shared it. Apparently pressing the buttons in that fashion (in order to get it to play the anthem) puts the machine into the showroom setting, hence it wont start wash cycles. If the guy was right all you have to do is turn it off at the wall for more than 20 seconds :) Good luck!

[@melissarobson]

He was referring to a recent hockey game where they accidentally played the NZ anthem for the Australian hockey team, it was on the news.

[@cheekykent]

Wen my washing machine goes out of balance it sounds like my entire hardcore gabber Thunderdome compilation.

[@yuanitaking8764]

This really works, can't believe it!!! If you have this machine, TRY IT!!!!!

[@justsaying2000]

you can also get it playing the other anthems depending on which buttons you press, with no water in... used to do it for customers years ago... just can't remember which buttons exactly anymore :)

[@topaznz4]

wow that's so cool, thanks for sharing

[@Metalor]

If it could vibrate whilst playing that tune, I'd sit the shit out of it.

[@sianhopkins2766]

It also plays the Australian National Anthem and the American National Anthem depending on what the "Water Level" lights are. So the more/less you have the water level at results in a different anthem.

[@rpbrown54]

So cool! It works!! I wonder how long my washing machine has been just sitting there waiting to SING!?!?

[@Tumekera]

I ran straight in to the laundry and cranked up the machine lmao.

[@GalaxyAromatherapy]

Washsmart works. Love it!! :)

[@BlendyToo]

My washing machine just played me the national anthem. WHO KNEW?!

[@missANGela1993]

Make it sing • Hold down power button and the one parallel until all the lights turn on. • NZ anthem: press temperature up button for 2 seconds. • Australian anthem: press wash level up for 2 seconds until it beeps then press temperature up button for 2 seconds. • US anthem: press wash level up 2 seconds until it beeps, repeat pressing wash level up for 2 seconds until it beeps then press temperature up button for 2 seconds.

[@natashamjc]

I think one of the Fisher and Paykel employees Boss didn't watch him enough lol

[@CCSRNICE]

Made it into the NZ herald. Congrats guys

[@justsaying2000]

majority of F&P are still made in NZ, it's only a relatively small number made overseas at the moment

[@muriwaiguy]

This washing machine sings better than the contestants on NZ X Factor.

[@Kuki-Monsta]

Already shared this to FACEBOOK haha!

[@Mystline18]

You now realize they're just playing it in the background while the lights go crazy.

[@HeyItsElleHearMeOut]

GOLD!!! Totally just tried it AND videoed it...hahahaha...Made my night!!!!!

[@Connop_Corner]

I just went under our house, and it really works!

[@1864ow]

This washing machine is more patriotic then some people I know of. awesome

[@MrJ0mmy]

you can change it has 3 built in songs just press the button up button on high medium or low till you hear a beep then press the button to the left of that and it will play the next song and repeat to hear all 3 songs

[@kiwiyom]

No joke, it works. Depends on model though. My parents have a new but basic model, doesn't seem to work on that.

[@BaybBluuexO]

Pretty bloody choice alright!!

[@mindyyeh4317]

Dude now that is random :) HEY JOHN & HELEN!

[@Weetbix1969]

they can do nz aussie and us anthems (you push one of the other buttons then restart it to get it to change) but the big question is will your F&P drier do backing vocals or a beatbox rhythm to go with the washing machine LOL

[@kiranp3236]

GOT THE SAME WASHING MACHINE LOL , buzzy as

[@kellycraig960]

of course we recognize that song, its what everyone hears after a final game of rugby.

[@CAESAR999999]

Totally different buttons on mine [ old machine ] and it still works if you press enough of them.

[@LouiseMaryification]

Oh yes!!!! Brilliant idea

[@kiwipolz]

My clever clogs washing machine did it too. How cool is that?

[@UnkleSi]

That easter egg has been in the code for about 10 years.

[@071ralf]

Just tried it, it works

[@Cheeki1972]

theres more than one song.. I held the water level button while it was playing and then held the temp again and it played new songs

[@ImRickJamesBtich]

Some engineer had a fun time programming the micro

[@jaceNZ75]

thumbs up too F&P and a thumbs up for posting..

[@asasinz2]

Oh and my 10 year old F&P machine that was made in New Zealand plays the Australian National Anthhem :(

[@Owaaan]

Shortly after finishing the song the washing machine transforms into a robot and joins the other washing machines in taking over the world!! This just in - Breaking News...

[@FinnMac93]

I messed around with other buttons and somehow managed to get it to play the USA national anthem too :P

[@LizQuilty]

pushing/holding other buttons plays different songs also - i think you press advance again to get australian anthem

[@Driftit]

What the hell. I just tried this with my Fisher and Paykel and it plays the Aussie National anthem. Hahaha. Not joking. Uploading a video right now.

[@FelicityAnn]

Sheesh I would give my eye-teeth to just OWN a washing machine.. sigh..... Really must buy one soon... Even if it does not sing any National Anthem I would be just as happy...

[@daharja]

Haha. The Aussie are real familiar with it by now ;)

[@siwelb08]

Count 'em again, dude.

[@galaxydreaming]

did but how do I stop it? lolol!

[@PetarBozic]

That is faaaar cooler than a 25yr guarantee. Lol, kidding, that is really cool!

[@Bigbrotheriswatchingus]

While it is playing, hold down the button next to it, the top 'water level button' for 2 secs and the song will stop. If you then restart it with the original button the same way it will change anthem

[@matsterg]

that was awesome!!!!

[@watchman2700]

wow that is amazing. It makes me wanna trade in my machine in for f & p now. I predict this clip wil surpass gangnam style within 2 weeks.

[@misbigc63]

Haha that's awesome mine just did the same.

[@justsaying2000]

they come with other anthems too, just use different buttons for different tunes, I think from memory it's 3 .... the NZ anthem, Aussie anthem, and the USA anthem :)

[@BridgetGrace1]

This is genious!

[@theringmaster886]

Hope there are some troll washing machines that play the Shortland Street theme.

[@dactylionpriest]

For the Street Fighter II theme, press up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, wash, temp.

[@Barnicalsify]

Pretty awesome... would have preferred it to belt out some Herbs, or Shihad or something though. Woulda been hilarious!

[@ArgentumNZ]

I heard that they set the default anthem to show the market that the device was intended for sale in. Then if your's plays a different tune it has potentially been grey-marketed.

[@HCOUTinot]

hahaha oh wow this is awesome!

[@rachyrach12]

That's actually pretty cool lol

[@damitabryant5770]

I JUST WISH PPL IN MY HOUSE WOULD USE THE DAMN THING FOR ITS INTENDED PUROSE lol. BUT TOTES COOL!!!

[@CorleneGreenwood]

AWESOME!! The nz national anthem :)

[@tashru1]

this is so cool

[@shyjak06]

Bugger:(...mines an LG!.Nice post:)

[@RichardKernNZ]

Bahahaha, that was a golden moment that one

[@Davepaekphotography]

It will self-destruct several seconds after the national anthem.

[@WrathChild-NZ]

That's cool! BUT WHY DID YOU FILM THIS VERTICALLY!??

[@acejay1]

only in new zealand! haha this is brilliant

[@MegaJaneification]

No, not ONLY in New Zealand, as the NZ national anthem also serves as the national anthem in five African nations while they are in the process of settling on the score for their own respective anthems.

[@qwertygnf]

Derrr they accidently played the NZ anthem for the Aussies the other day haha

[@benjamilne]

Sale of the century

[@NZWrightFamily]

New trick....before you press the top water temp button, press and hold the top water level button until it beeps once, then press the water level button. New Anthem! Three in total.

[@Herculeon]

Your machine must be FAULTY lol

[@TheBeliever1989]

yes, but sometime in the future it may be able to do the haka as well.

[@geoffsmith5452]

But.....That's what I've always wanted in a washing machine!! Will it play God save the Queen as well?? ... :-)

[@TheNewzbreak]

It'll also do the Australian and American anthems if you change it using the up water level button after the first two then turning it off and doing the steps in the video again :)

[@ChrisHellyar]

ROFL.. This works on the earlier ones with a different button layout as well... Same buttons. Power + Advance then hold wash temp up for a couple of seconds.

[@amstapp]

OMG. It really works.

[@Ashyblubear]

Can this work for ALL Fisher and Paykel machines like all makes and models? or just a specific make?

[@preytec]

that washing machine should be on the xfactor
