Dishdrawers - Fisher & Paykel, Kenmore or Kitchenaid USERS???
Comments (10)I have an integrated F&P double dish drawer and really like it. It has taken some getting used to and requires rethinking about how dishes, glasses, pots, etc., are loaded, and there are some limitations on height of items that can be placed inside, but it is quiet, saves water/energy, cleans well, and gosh darn it, I like the cute little chime noise it makes when I open it up! If I had the space, I would definitely put one drawer on either side of the sink because it is so easy to just use the top drawer. Depending on the amount of daily cooking I do, and let's face it, all of us are doing more home cooking these days, I do full loads in each drawer every other day. The two design elements that I would love to see improved are: 1) having a top sprayer since sometimes there's residue that doesn't get all washed off due to the bottom-only wash arm, and 2) needing to position cookie sheets, big pans, plastic cutting boards, etc., at a slant inside if they are wider than the drawer height so that the drawer can close. Hope this helps!...See MoreFisher Paykel dishdrawer installation
Comments (3)The main trick is to follow the included instructions, don't skip or short-cut any of the steps. The main sub-tricks are: 1) Apply the adhesive moisture shield to the underside of the countertop per the instructions. 2) Position the drain hose Y-joiner properly (with the hose connections in a horizontal orientation, not vertical such that one hose port is above the other). 3) Route the drain hoses on a loop as high as possible up under the countertop, then straight to the Y-joiner -- DO NOT let the drain hoses sag between the high loop and Y-joiner....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 rinse aid not dispensing
Comments (11)this doesnt help but may be of interest, I have a 2002 model, have kept it going with lots of help from various forums , also look after a couple of other family machines, but my rinse aid problem has beaten me.. Top drawer has not used any for many months, ran diagnostic check, could hear solenoid working (?) but nothing came out. set dispenser to max and tested again, ( it does about 40 pulses when set on max ..) still nothing., Removed whole unit, removed dispenser solenoid, dismantled the actual pump unit, dropped the little sping that came, nearly lost it, dropped one of the tiny little bubber pieces in side ..... cleaned everything, checked no blockage in the little orifices where the fluid flows, put back together retested , sound good but NOTHINGcomes out. My better half says .. can't you just buy one? not much fun in that. DId exactly the same with bottom drawer. We hardly ever use it so dont know how long it has not worked. .. SO .. 3 or 4 hours later, better go and but a couple of new ones.....See MoreRelated Professionals
