record which drawer washes weakly, retains water or makes a new noise. check the manual's accessible filters and spray-arm clearance first; these symptoms do not prove rotor failure.

steps
- note the affected drawer
record which drawer has weak washing, retained water or new noise. do not swap rotors between drawers to test them.
- check filters and dishes
disconnect power and let the drawer cool. follow the model's owner-care instructions to check and clean accessible filters and look for dishes blocking the spray arm.
- arrange a repairer
if the problem remains, have a qualified repairer check for a blockage, rotor or seal damage, a damaged housing or an electrical fault. leave the stator, wiring and controller untouched.
- confirm any replacement
have the repairer check the full product-code conditions on the product page. if the rotor has failed, they should compare its shape, impellers and seal, fit it under the exact model instructions and check operation.
- stop if trouble remains
stop using the drawer if a replacement makes unusual noise or the fault continues. have the repairer check the part and fitting again.

- why 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.
- why 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.
