Fisher Paykel DishDrawer DD605 Series Installation Instructions Manual

If the panel display on the lower drawer is lit and you can select the program then most likely the water inlet valve is fault and needs replacement. But if the panel is dark and none of the buttons operate then the power to the drawer is cut off. This can be due to a number of reasons including the power board at the base loosing one power circuit or the thermal fuse in the drawer is blown. Please provide model number of dishdrawer unit and also please describe what is actually happening.

Hello,

You will need to pull the drawer out to access them. Here is a link to a video that will explain how to take the drawer out.

the check valve in the bottom drawer may be clogged or defective. the two drain hoses are probly connected to become one.

LP is a setting for Low pressure. To reset your pressure to HP, hold the Programme and Eco touch switches simultaneously for 5 seconds. Once the setup mode is entered a beep is emitted and
the LCD is red with ‘HP’ or 'LP' displayed. Push the Start/Pause button to alternate between HP and LP. and push the power button to exit.

I have had my Fisher Paykel dishdrawer for 8 years and it has never completely worked. I would get a U3 code on the top drawer intermittently. I have had my drains rerouted twice, LP - HP reset, service men replace the back flow flap and mother boards without luck... until I was able to get my hands on the service manual. Turns out the solution is quite easy. If you have a problem with the U3 code it means the drawer is not draining appropriately, The washer only gives a preprogrammed 60 sec to drain the drawer. So if your drawer is overfilled, it will think it has a drain problem. The following is taken from the service manual...

"U3 - Time to fill was too short, indicating water was still in the tub.
Possible Causes:
· Drain pump is blocked.
· Drain hose is blocked.
· Sprayarm or rotor not turning
freely.
· Motor electronics have failed.
· Machine set to 'LP' on a high
pressure water supply.

The tub fills with approximately 2.2 litres of water, level with the base of the spray arm attachment. Once this level is reached, the wash pump (which has sensed the fill at 30 second intervals during the fill), becomes primed and pumps the water through the spray arm which will then rotate.
The water level is monitored by sensing the motor load through the electronics."


The solution is to turn your water supply valve part of the way on to limit the gpm flow to the drawer. This way, the drawer will not have over-filled in the 30 sec it took to sense the motor load. I have tried it and wow no more U3. Hope it makes sense and hope it works for you.
