Have you tried running the rinse cycle to check if the water drains out?

If you are not getting any fault codes, then it might be simply a matter of cleaning the base filter plate and the sump. The user manual will tell you how to do this.

If that does not help then post a comment along with the model number of your fisher and paykel double drawer unit and I will suggest further diagnostics.

    Hi same problem. Top drawer F&P 603 does not drain anymore. Filter and sump cleaned out, waste loop higher than drawer.
    Can you help?

    Hi barry_hanks - sorry to hear about the problem. I will assume your bottom drawer is draining okay which means the kitchen drain is clear. If you do not hear the motor pump sound during drain cycle then the controller could be having a problem. But if you hear the motor sound but water does not move then there is still a blockage. Take the rotor (under the wash arm) and the sump filter out. This will leave you with two chambers at the base of the dishwasher. There is a small channel connecting the two. Take a fine wire but stiff wire and clear the channel. Usually it is a piece of chicken bone or a tuff seed lodged in. Refer user manual on instructions to take out the rotor. Be careful not to pull the rotor too hard. A gentle turn and a lift should do the trick. Make sure mains power is turned off when working on the dishwasher

Whirlpool dishwasher leaving debris on top rack dishes

You did not list the model of the machine. But it appears to me that the disposal in the unit might be in need of work. There are teeth in the machine that grind food.

My dishwasher suddenly started having a white residue to cover the dishes. This white residue is also along the edges at the bottom of the door and bottom front of the interior of the disherwasher and...

The problem is most likely that there is still water residue at the bottom of your machine. If the machine is not fully drained it picks up some of the residue and sprays that onto the dishes during the final rinse, leaving an unhealthy and unsightly film on everything.
Remove the bottom strainers plates and make sure that the outlet pipe the pipe is not kinked, that there is nothing obstructing the pipe or the pump or selector valve. If possible back flush through the outlet pipe and try draining the machine again before using it again.

Dibris on glasses afterwash. Dishes not coming clean

First check salt level is ok, the next thing may be it's having problems pumping out after the primary wash.
Try running a hot cycle with a dishwasher cleaner or 2 cups of washing soda, then pull out outlet hose and check it's clear.
Check all filters are clear and in good condition with no cracks.

Floods top drawer when washing bottom

The machine is not installed correctly, as it probably has a single air gap and the hoses for the two drawers are sharing that single air gap. These are basically two seperate dishwashers. There is a fix from fisher paykel parts:
