Fisher paykel drawer dishwasher is stuck open and will not close

Hey I dont know if you have this problem, but with mine the gasket seemed to be blocking the opening, so you could close it, but you had to shove a lot. The FP help line said to just unplug and replug in the unit. I did it and lo and behold it worked fine again. It did seem to leak a little bit the first time I reran it, but that seems to have gone away. Hope this helps

If the key/ lock symbol is showing in the display, then it is possible you have the child lock on. Disable it by pressing the key/ lock button on the panel. Check your owners manual for the correct procedure for your model.

If this is not the case, then it is likely the drawer has come off the rails and is not able to slide right back. You will need to open the drawer and slides and refit. Unless you are technically savy you will have to contact a technician.

This happened to me, I got my torch and peered in from the bottom, and I could see in the top right hand side, a part of the roof had slightly dropped, blocking the draw from shutting (draw was open at its fullest) so I got 2 wooden spatulas with thinnish handles, I inserted one at the top in-between draw and roof to slightly pry open, so then this enabled me to see the dropped part - it was about 2cm in, so I used the 2nd spatulas to lever it up, then push the draw closed beyond the 2cm point, then I removed spatula's ad draw closed easily - so long as I do not open the draw to its fullest point, I can continue to use for ages.! God bless Fisher and Paykel.

Lid(s) out of sequence
remove power.
do not force drawer ( or lip seal damage will occur)
remove drawer.
check/ensure lid(s) is against left and right, fwd and aft up stops.
if not, unclip rotary actuator at nylon frame pivot (left and right)
extend each actuators by backdriving ram (ccw) by hand (twist) so that frame will hit stop tabs.
reclip actuators to nylon frames.
drawer should glide in/out smoothly with little effort
repower unit with drawers closed
select a wash cycle and pause cycle before opening drawer (shud reset sequencing)
