Fisher Paykel DD603 Problem. Top drawer shows F1 and pump runs continuously. Lower drawer does nothing, no display. I think the Electronic Controller in lower drawer is fried and maybe the Mains Filter Board. Please help.

Yup, definately the bottom drawer controller, for some reason you can run a DD603 with no board in the top, so long as you have a board in the bottom, but not the other way around. This is the fault you get, constant F1 from the top drawer. If you are stuck try removing the display cable from the bottom controller, this may help, so long as you leave the chassis harness in.

Don't be panic. Just a leak. F1 is on when the leak sensor detects the leak. The leak from the top needs to be dried out by pulling out the tube, access from the left under the tube to dry water out with small tower. Do the same for the bottom since I know there is some water there too. After drying out, unplug the power for at least 24 hours to have the sensor dried out and reset itself. When plugging power back, follow the manual to go to diagnostic mote to check out how the Lid seal properly or not so you can change either the lid or the actuators. Once you get to the diagnostic mode try to get on the LCD displays LD( or LS) meaning Lid Seal, press the Lock/unlock button to turn on the actuators. After hearing the sound stops, pull out the tube. If the actuators are working then you would not be able to pull the tube out since the Lid got sealed. If you would then it is poorly sealed, needs to replace the actuators. Actuators can be ordered on ebay as well as the Lid . I got from parts ebay to save the cost from Dealer.

Top drawer can not be open

If this is a double drawer dishwasher and bottom drawing is functional but top drawer won't open means the controller on top drawer is faulty or power circuit is locked. If turning the mains power off and back on makes no difference then controller could be the problem. One way to test is to take the controller from bottom drawer and replace that in the top drawer. This requires a lot of patience and experience with electronic stuff. If you are not brave enough to test then call the technician. The controller is about $200 to buy. Make sure the mains power socket is taken out before working on the dishwasher internals.

I have a Fisher and Paykel DD603 which was working well however i ran through some service tests. Whilst doing so i managed to flood the unit. F1 initial came on the lower drawer, then both drawers. Now...

The power filter board at the base of the dishwasher has gone faulty or you may have dislocated a connector on the filter board at the base of the dishwasher. This is the same board that has the flood switch on it.

The connector provides power to the drawers. If this is not the case then the filter board itself will have gone faulty with the water falling on it.

This part can be got from this site. The worst scenario is that you ran the heater on the lower drawer with no water causing the heater fuse to blow. This cuts the power to the drawer controller. This is very expensive to replace as the fuse is integral to the heater. Unfortunately you will not will be able to get rid of the F1 on top drawer until the power to bottom controller is restored.

The reason water spilt out is because you did not have the lid seal on when you ran the wash pump.
Make sure the mains plug is taken out when working on the dishwasher.

E-mail for Fisher Paykel DD603 manual

Josh, you will need to have a Tech out to look at it... F/P will not sell you parts to repair it. The F1 indicates that the flood switch has been tripped. There are many possible causes for this but probably the upper drawer link support has broken and is getting stuck between the lid and the drawer in which case you will need a new lid and link support.
