kitchen remodel- 36" fisher paykel dishdrawer
Comments (7)My DD603 is within a month or two of 10 years old. No repairs on it, although a couple false alarms. As with any dishwasher, some consumers have large troubles with them, others are highly satisfied. F&P's DishDrawer is not as new a product as people may assume. They've been on the market since 1997, with numerous design revisions and engineering improvements. There may be a learning-curve, particularly on loading patterns. They can be run on a COLD water connection. Every cycle heats the main wash and final rinse water to a specific target temperature (varies per cycle). There is a *water* heater but NO *drying* heater. Drying uses residual heat from the final rinse along with rinse aid, and a fan to exhaust moisture. Rinse aid is not *required* but drying performance will suffer accordingly if it's not used....See MoreFisher Paykel Dishdrawers: Now in Plastic!
Comments (2)DishDrawers have *never* been produced with stainless tubs, unless there's an unusual model of which I'm not aware. Wondering where you got that idea. My unit is 7 years old, third-generation design, one-piece molded plastic drawers/tubs. I have service manuals for models back to the first generation DD601 ... all plastic tubs. The racks (not the foldable side shelves) are metal coated with nylon or plastic of some ilk for cushioning the dishes & glassware, as are the racks on virtually all dishwashers of all brands and models far as I'm aware. The side shelves are molded plastic. There were some household brands/models many years ago (1950s and possibly 1960s) that had stainless steel racks....See MoreFisher & Paykel Dishdrawer Dishwasher dd603 ERROR blinking lights
Comments (1)You have an integrated model without an alphanumeric LCD on the handle? Fault codes are not displayed on the badge LEDs. The center LED is red when a fault occurs but the fault code is displayed on the cycle selection lights. You can check what fault codes may have occurred by accessing diagnostic mode. - Open the drawer. - Turn Power off. - Press and hold the Keylock button, then press Start/Pause at the same time for 5 seconds. - All the cycle selection lights should turn on. - Press Start/Pause button. The first fault code (if any) is displayed on the cycle lights for a couple seconds, then the second fault code (if any). Press Start/Pause again to repeat if necessary. Make note of the lit cycle lights for each code. - Press Power repeatedly until all the lights are off (should be 4 times) to exit diagnostics. The next time a problem occurs (with a red light on the badge), open the drawer to check the cycle lights for a fault code....See MoreFisher & Paykel Dishdrawer HELP !
Comments (1)It's not changing the cycle. The Fast light is a fault code. A "classic" model with LCD panel would also display F4 and a wrench (repair) icon. Integrated models don't have an LCD so the fault code is indicated only via the pattern of cycle lights (and a red light on the button badge). F4 = no temperature increase has been sensed for 2 hours while the element is on. 1 - The element is not connected or has a wiring problem. 2 - The element has failed. 3 - The temperature sensor has failed. (It's integral to the heater plate, not a separate component, so the element must be replaced). 4 - The electronic controller has failed. (You said you've already replaced the control module so presumably that's not the fault.)...See MoreThorkil Hansen
