most likely the heater circuit is faulty.

You could isolate the top drawer by taking the controller power cable out. DIsconnect mains power to dishwasher, open top drawer and remove front cover carefull after removing 2 plastic pins on each side with plier. Controller box is on left top side, remove bottom connector and cover with insulation tape. Put things back and turn power back on.But if you want to find the fault with top drawer then that is very trick if there is no fault code on panel except beeping First clean the top panel inside door with a clean damp cloth. If this does not change the situation, then it is very likely the controller is detecting some faulty sensor - and will need to find one by one. Are you ready for it?

The F1 code in both drawers could mean flood at base of dishwasher (under bottom drawer) . If it is occuring only in bottom drawer then it is likely the power circuit for top drawer is blown. Need to know which of the above to give advise on how to fix.

It might be helpful if you can recall the code that was on the panel when the wrech symbol was flashing. something like F1 or U2

Clean the dishwasher panels inside the door with clean damp cloth. Check if that makes a difference. Otherwise the controller or the panel may need replacement. Turn mains power off, take the power chord out, put it back and turn on. See if this makes any difference.

I am a bit surprised it worked through 12 min cycle without drawer fully closed. If you had to force drawer to close position then I would suggest you inspect the lid seal for damage. It can cause leakage in future and shutdown dishwasher.

The pump is faulty or the drain hose is blocked. You need to take the pump rotor out from the base of the drawer and inspect the sump for blockages. Usually a seed or chicken bone stuck between the drain sump and the pump rotor sump.

Please clarify the problem you have with your dishwasher so that I can try and find a solution for you. Fisher and Paykel make a range of dishwashers in particular the drawer units which are very popular and convenient.

Rotor needs to be replaced. Look at previous solution.

Feel water temperature when dishwasher stops. it is likely the heater is faulty. Does this happen in the cold water wash cycles?

Check the filter sump is clear and there are no blockages in the rotor cavity. If you hear the rotor noise when it is in drain cycle then blockage is inside the rotor or filter sump cavity. Assuming the top drawer is working ok, the drain hose at kitchen end might be ok. The drain hose within the drawer could also be an issue. Try to run the dishwasher with a Finish dishwasher cleaning kit (from super market) after following the instructions on the kit. First empty dishwasher with a small cup.If the rotor is silent during drain cycle then you have a bigger problem - faulty rotor circuit.

Please clarify the model number. i am assuming you have a standard height single door dishwasher. It is likely the flood switch assembly itself is faulty and giving false results. Check the base of the dishwasher - item 95 in on page 10 in this manual. The microswitch could be faulty or the spring might be stuck.

F1 could mean several problems. However when it occurs on both drawers it means the flood switch at base of dishwasher under the bottom drawer has triggered. This is caused by water leakage. Make sure the dishwasher mains power is turned off to avoid damage to dishwasher. You can attempt to dry the water and find the cause of the leak. Usually foaming due to incorrect or too much detergent, leaky lid seal or hoses broken.

Try to confirm if the unit works ok with the Rinse cycle. If that is ok then most likely the heater element is faulty. Feel water temperature when it stops.

If you have a double drawer unit then please confirm what is happening with the other drawer. Most likely the base of the dishwasher under the bottom drawer has flooded and brought down the power with it. The power board sits under the bottom drawer. BE CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH THE DISHWASHER BEFORE SWITCHING OFF THE MAINS POWER SUPPLY TO THE DISHWASHER AS THE CIRCUIT MAY BE LIVE AND GIVE A SHOCK. You will have to take the bottom drawer out and see what is happening under it.

It depends on which model you have. The integrated model would most likely have the frame lodged inside the kitchen panels. The freestanding model should simply pull out after removing inlet and drain hose and power connection.

Depending on how much water could be collecting it might be normal. If this is causing the dishwasher not to clean the dishes properly then you may need to clean the filters and ensure the kitchen sink drain is clean.

It's possible that you have put the dishwasher into delay mode. Try powering off at the powerpoint as this will force a reset of all programming.The pause/start button also sets the Delay Start feature which can delay the start of a wash program from 1 to 12 hours. To cancel Delay StartPress the I button.
