Fisher & Paykel appliances,
specifically.
Fisher & Paykel sells across all four rooms this site covers, from column refrigeration to DishDrawer dish care to front-load laundry, and its own installation manuals spend real space on drain-hose height and leveling because both brands' laundry lines flag those two setup details as the most common reason a new machine misbehaves in its first week.

to Fisher & Paykel.
Fisher & Paykel's US range for this site covers column and drawer refrigeration, ranges, cooktops and wall ovens, DishDrawer dish care, and front-load washers and condensing dryers, each documented in the maker's own use-and-care and installation guides.
A front loader's drain hose has a required height window
Fisher & Paykel's washer manual sets a standpipe or tub height of roughly 31 1/2 to 47 1/4 inches, and warns that a drain hose pushed too deep into a standpipe, or one fitted so snugly it seals the gap, can start a siphoning action that drains the machine while it is still trying to fill.
Leveling legs are adjusted with the machine loaded, not empty
The installation steps have the installer rock the washer by its top corners to confirm it will not tip before locking the front leveling legs down with their locknuts, since a machine that still rocks after the legs are set will vibrate and walk once it spins.
Extending the leg travel adds vibration, it does not remove it
Fisher & Paykel's own note warns to keep leg extension at a minimum, because the farther the legs are wound out to compensate for an uneven floor, the more the machine vibrates once running, which argues for shimming a badly sloped floor rather than leaning on the legs alone.
The panel still needs to confirm both hot and cold lines are actually connected
The washer's own troubleshooting table treats a hot line connected to the cold valve, or a cold line left off entirely, as a normal first-fill mistake rather than a defect, and has the installer check hose routing before assuming the machine itself will not fill.
Parts
Fisher & Paykel ships a drain hose guide and transit bolts with its front-load washers, and expects the transit bolts reinstalled any time the machine is moved again, so an installer keeps that hardware rather than discarding it after the first setup.
Repair or replace
Most first-week Fisher & Paykel laundry calls are resolved by adjusting the drain hose height or re-leveling the machine, exactly the two checks the maker's own troubleshooting chart lists before it recommends a service call.
