Appliance Repair Revelation Fisher Paykel DD602 Dishdrawer F1 code

This should help .

Looks like you may have a broken drawer limit switch.
If the switch isn't depressed...the CPU thinks its still open.
To get to the switch...youve got to remove the drawer.

Hope this helps...

Hello there
The f-1 error is comng from the fflood switch meaning it is not recognizng the level of the water in the machine
First thing you need to do is pull the front panel off the drawer, :

With that front panel off, pull the wire harness connectors off the main control board (lower right-hand side) to inspect for junk and debris
If nothing is found
The next step to remove the botton drawer from the unit so so you can inspect the switch itself
In order to do this, You had to remove the wire harness cover on the underside of the drawer.

With the bottom cover off, unclip the wire harness, fill hose, and drain hose. Then unclip the linkage at the back of the drawer and lifted the drawer off the slider arms. All this to expose the flood switch, shown on the left-hand side of the bottom panel in the picture below:.

TAKE NOTE OF the positions of the wires on the flood switch and removing them, unclip the switch housing from the base panel. The switch housing contains one switch for each drawer. The switches are wired normally closed (NC) and each switch has three spade connections, so it's important to note where the wires went. With the switch housing out, ohm out both switches and ENSURE THEY CHECK OUT GOOD OR HAVE SOMEBODY DO THIS FOR YOU inspect the contacts and SEE IF they look oxidized or detereorated , evidenced by discoloration.
If it does look discolored clean the contacts as needed now plug in everything as it was originally and put in the drawers than run it to see if it does reappear if not you saved yourself about $300 dollars on having a tech come and do this ok

I am not sure what you mean by the bottom pan. Are you trying to clean inside the drawer or the inside of the outer housing?

If you want to remove the filter plate at the base of the drawer then refer to page 21 of the user manual. (DD602 is similar to DD603).

This is how i did mine

First thing I did was pull the front panel off the drawer,

and clean off the contacts. That'll restore the current flow for that circuit. ." So I cleaned the contacts and reassembled the dishdrawer. I ran the top drawer and...no F1 error code! I ran it several more times just to be sure.

At the sides of the drawers you will see plastic lugs at the bottom where they meet the drawer front, you need to push them in and then pull the drawer towards you to remove it.

Check the drain hoses by removing the dishdrawers from the machine and pulling on the hoses. I installed a Fisher Paykel DD602 about a month ago and the bottom drawer was not draining. I removed the drawer and freed up the drain hose and the machine worked fine.

Comment posted on Feb 07, 2009 there should be tabs on the sides of the drawers at the sliders near the front of the machine.
