Dw60csx1 wont turn on - Fisher and Paykel 23 in. DS603H W Built-in Dishwasher

perhaps the main control board has become faulty, a technician should be able to advise.
Unplug and leave it offf overnight see if that resolves the issue.

to fix essentially you need to reboot... unplug at wall - wait about 30 seconds - 1 min then replug. should reboot and be back to normal.
if you can, pull drawer out at end of cycle so condensation does not cause this problem going forward... ours does this when it's higher humidity

If the dishwasher operates to full cycle with the fast wash and cold cycles then there is nothing that you can reset in the control panel area. The likely problems are the temperature sensor is faulty or the heater is faulty. If temperature sensor is faulty then you should get some flashing lights on the panel and if heater is faulty then the heating light on the panel will never turn on.
Your reference parts are 40 and 79 in the attached parts manual. Will need technician to replace these. http://www.jordansmanuals.com/ServiceManuals/FP/Dishwasher/DW60CSX%201/DW60CSX%201%20Parts%20Manual.pdf

there is a problem with the drain. It is not draining all the water.
1. The drain hose could be too high.
2. There is a plugged pipe
3. There is debris in the drain hose or the pump

It is likely the flood switch itself is faulty and may need to be replaced.

My manual says that this means the drain hose is crimped or bent, or the drain hose is too high. In other words, the drain can't drain for some reason.

I have a dishwasher - "Soft Touch" which seems to be stuck on F1. This occured in the middle of the night and although turning off at wall cannot get it off this setting

The DW60 manual shows the following possible meanings for the E5 fault code:

-Water tap not turned on.
-Insufficient water pressure
-Water supply hose is crimped or bent
-Drain hose is too low

For more info on fault codes, consult the manual. If you don't have one, here's a link http://www.fisherpaykel.com.au/admin/pdfs/pdf_usecares/599350D_DW60ugm_AUSGw.pdf
