why does my contemporary Fisher & Paykel DD60 DishDrawer leave dishes dirty?
food remaining after washing can result from a utensil blocking the spray arm or food in the filter and spray holes. these checks concern only the contemporary DD60 models named in this guide.
model scope: Fisher & Paykel DD60DDFX9, DD60DDFB9, DD60DDFHX9, DD60DDFHB9, DD60SDFX9, DD60SDFTX9, DD60SDFTB9, DD60SDFHX9 and DD60SDFHTX9 DishDrawers.
the contemporary DD60 models in this guide use a different filter arrangement from the older 605 design.
let the stopped drawer cool and switch power off before the manual's loading and cleaning checks. the linked guide explains clearing protruding items, rinsing the removable spray arm and filter parts, aligning the arrows and locking the filter. refit the arm so it turns freely. do not run with loose or missing filters. continued poor washing after correct care needs service, not an assumed rotor or pump purchase.
first checks
- check the named model and load
check the full model against this guide's model scope, then look for items protruding through the rack with the cool drawer off.
possible causes
- items obstructing the spray arm
- food blocking the filter or spray holes
