DishDrawer problems and repair advice
is there water left in the drawer, food on the dishes or a damaged rack support? choose the matching symptom. model and product-code details matter when identifying filters, rotors and drawer parts.
common problems13
- is water left in my ninth-series DD60 DishDrawer normal?a little water beneath the filter can be normal on the covered models. water spread across the tub after a finished cycle needs attention.
- should i clean or replace my DishDrawer drain filter?food on an intact filter calls for cleaning; cracked framing, torn mesh or a missing filter needs a different response.
- should i replace my DishDrawer base rack or just an insert?check whether damage is in the broad rack or a removable plate support before choosing the larger part.
- what should i check if my integrated DishDrawer badge cover is damaged?distinguish the small front trim from the buttons and electronics behind it before selecting a cover.
- what should i do if my DishDrawer filter plate will not sit flat?check for dirt or incorrect seating before replacing the broad plate, and keep it distinct from the small drain filter.
- why do plates keep tipping over in my DishDrawer?check adjustable tine spacing, damaged clips and clearance beside the cutlery basket before replacing the holder.
- why does my contemporary Fisher & Paykel DD60 DishDrawer leave dishes dirty?for the nine named contemporary models, check spray-arm obstruction and filter care using their own arrangement, not a 605 guide.
- why does my DishDrawer wash poorly or leave water inside?check filters, spray-arm obstruction and drainage first. the rotor handles washing and draining but is not the only possible cause.
- why does my drawer dishwasher leave food on the dishes?check spray-arm clearance, removable filters and correct refitting. older locking-ring and newer lift-out filter plates need different handling.
- why does my ninth-series DD60 DishDrawer fan run after washing?a smooth timed drying-fan sound can be normal on the covered ninth-series contemporary DD60 models. grinding or overheating is different.
- why is my drawer dishwasher knocking during a wash?a utensil through the rack can strike the spray arm. stop and cool the drawer before checking the load and rack position.
- why is water left in my Fisher & Paykel DS605 or DD605 DishDrawer?check filters and an already-visible hose using the older 605 care method, not instructions for a newer drawer.
- why won't the folding plate supports stay upright in my DishDrawer?check whether the rows are intentionally folded down, then inspect their end clips and the base rack for damage.
common error codes2
- Fisher & PaykelF24why does my phase 9 Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer stop with F24?record the stopped wash, affected drawer and full model before arranging service. F24 alone is not a reason to buy a rotor.
- Fisher & PaykelA3why is my phase 9 Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer showing A3?for the named phase 9 models, A3 means the drawer cannot drain. start with the accessible drain path; rotor replacement is conditional on diagnosis.
