At a glance
This 12kg front load washer is a strong fit for busy families needing space for sheets, towels and larger weekly loads. It stands out for auto dosing, app control, fabric-friendly programs and 5 star water and energy ratings. Intelligent sensors help tailor each wash to the load.

Q: Will this 12kg front loader fit a standard laundry space
A: WH1260P5 is 850mm high, 602mm wide and 661mm deep, so it fits many full-size laundry spaces. Leave extra room for the door swing, hoses and ventilation, because its depth is less forgiving than a compact front loader.
Q: Can you connect this washer to both hot and cold water
A: Yes, this washer is designed for hot and cold water connections. That matters if you are replacing a cold-only machine, because your laundry needs both connection points available for the setup this model is built around.
Q: Does auto dosing still let you choose detergent manually
A: Yes, auto dosing is built in, and this model also supports manual detergent dosing. That gives more flexibility if you change detergent types, prefer to control dosage yourself, or wash loads that need a different amount.
Q: Can I add clothes after the cycle has started
A: Yes, it has an add a garment function with immediate door opening. It is most useful when you have just started the wash and noticed a missed item, rather than later in the cycle after water and spin conditions have changed.
Q: What sanitise options does this Fisher and Paykel washer have
A: WH1260P5 includes Sanitise (Hot Water) and Sanitise (UV Light) options. They add hygiene-focused wash choices, but no specific reduction percentage or test standard is stated here for either sanitise option.
Q: Can the SmartHQ app start and monitor wash cycles remotely
A: Yes, the washer is Wi-Fi enabled and works with the Fisher & Paykel SmartHQ app for remote control. That suits households wanting to start, monitor or manage a cycle from a phone instead of using only the controls on the machine.
