Top 20 Fisher and Paykel 23 in. DD-603SS Built-in Dishwasher Questions & Answers

the top spinner is just clipped on. if you look at it you will see the cut in the plastic and it will just pull off. clean out the spinner and in the hole use some pipe and blow down it. on first cycle it should empty the dirty water out.

I don't know if this will help. I had to work on Fisher & Paykel two draw dishwasher. The one problem was one draw would work but the other wouldn't. There is one board for each draw and one board in the base. The board in the base seem to be the power supply for the rest of the machine. I don't remember the model number and it has been years ago. Getting to the boards was not easy. I did the swap the two draw boards and the problem didn't move. So whatever the problem was it was in the draw. I found Fisher & Paykel had design the heating element as a resistor to drop the 110 VAC down to a voltage the logic/controller board can use turn to Dc voltage to run board. The problem I found was the heating element had opened. There was no power to run the board. Later there was also a cable problem the confounded the repairman. He had to replace the draw harness. My really big problem is the heating was on the ground side of the logic/controller board. The logic/controller board was on the 110 VAC side. So that if the heating element opened the logic/controller board would be floating up to 110 VAC. So any meter measurement on the board show 110 VAC. Even touching any part of the board and any part of washer you can get zapped. So be careful. It should the other way around so the board is at the ground side and heating element on the high side. If the heat element opened there would be no power to the board would be at ground level and no shock problem.

At some point the two drawers individual drain hoses are joined using a "Y' type connector. Check this, and everything beyond this point for restrictions or blockage. It sounds like the bottom drawer is pumping its drain water out normally, but some of that water is backing up to the upper drawer. This is an installation or plumbing problem that is external of the dishdrawers.

What item are we talking about? Is this a dresser, a CD player etc. Need make model and serial number etc. Thank you.

You also need to repair the solder link (over-temperature fuse) in the heater plate (or replace the whole heater plate). The drawer control board gets its power via that link.

It is designed to start up wet so pour enough water in to fill the strainer before you start it . A little bit of detergent would help as well . Last be sure you have assembled it correctly .Have fun

If you've followed the instruction on page 9 of the User Manual and it still doesn't work, unplug the dishwasher for several moments and plug back in. This seems to revert all settings to default.

The pump and motor for DD603 is the same device. It is a rotor lodged inside a cavity under the drain filter plate. I am assuming the dishdrawer is drained properly and at end of the wash there is no water sitting inside. You need to take the rotor device out from its cavity and check for damage.

Have you removed the drawer? Checked the rollers? Reinserted the drawer correctly?

Most common fault that causes this is a stuck rota motor. here is a link to u-tube on how to easy remove and clean and refit might start working again but likely to be noisy. best I've found is about £50.00 from paykel.

9.9.1 Remove the drawer front 9.9.2 With the tub opened release the tub clips and push back the drawer rails. 9.9.3 Carefully release the four wiring cover clips from the front lower section of the tub taking care not to damage them. 9.9.4 Release the three clips on the underside of the tub which retain the wiring cover. 9.9.5 Pull the tub fully open and lift it up at the front (this makes it easier to remove the wiring cover from the rear of the tub). 9.9.6 The wiring cover may now be carefully moved forward to release it from the rear of the tub. controller. . 9.10.6 Unclip the drain hose cuff from the motor assembly taking care not to misplace the non-return flap valve so you know where it sits. Replace flap valve and refit in reverse order. Not sure why you need to take the top drawer out if you have already got the bottom drawer out and only need to replace the valve in bottom drawer.

check the waste hose is not kinked or blocked. otherwise replace the rotor at the bottom of the drawer. this can be accessed by unscrewing the panel at the bottom of the drawer.

you will find this diagnostic service document useful. http://applianceassistant.com/ServiceManuals/dishwasher-fisher-paykel-dish-drawer-dd603-ds603-service.pdf#zoom=100#scrollbar=1 The likely reason for top drawer not starting wash program when you press start button is the drawer home sensor is either faulty or the drawer is misaligned. This means controller thinks the drawer is open and does not start the cycle.

most likely the rota motor is stuck. check u-tube for easy removal, clean tips on checking for best deal for replacement part, I found Fisher & Paykel the best price, £50.00 ish

Replacing lid seals on the dishdrawer is not for the faint hearted. In particular if you are replacing the lid actuator and motors that go with it. http://www.genuineapplianceparts.net/ecart/item.php?item_id=386&category_id=58

If this is part of warranty repair then the technician should be asked to come back and fix. Try to turn off mains power and then use a clean damp cloth and run on the program selection panel on top of drawer lid. But most likely some dirt on the underside of the panel. Need to take controller out and clean it.
