Hello, Thank You for using FixYa. I will be helping you today.Are any of the cycle lights lighting up like rinse and normal and is the light on front blinking and pausing if so how many times is it blinking? Try turning the power off too the unit for five minutes and back on, because if the lid was open some or was stuck it can stop the unit from running.
Thank You and please ACCEPT my answer and Rate my answer if it was helpful..
I am still waiting for a response from fixya.com expert allbrands. Meanwhile, I telephoned fisherpaykelparts.net, and after a brief conversation, I realized that my three-button badge on the front of my two-year-old F&P DS605i is probably faulty. I ordered a new three button badge from fisher & paykel at a cost of $48.58 plus $10 to ship the small two-ounce part to me by UPS ground, plus sales tax.

Yes. Even though the F&P DS605i appears to be in "permanent state of suspended animaltion" or "permanent pause" ... when I pull the single drawer open, I hear the chirp, all of the lights on the narrow control panel that is visible inside the lid (specifically, "Heavy", "Normal", "Fast", "Delicate", :"Rinse" and "Eco") do light up. And I can toggle from one setting to the next by pressing the arrow button that is located immediately to the left of the word "Heavy". The "Eco" light also goes on and off when I press that button on the extreme right (on the panel inside the lid).
You ask: "How many times is [the green light on the front immediately above the "start/pause" button" on the front exterior of the unit) blinking?
The answer: "The little green light blinks fourteen times, then it stops blinking."
I tried your suggestion (to cut the power to the unit by means of the circuit breaker) for five minutes or more. I cut the power by 45 minutes. But when I resumed power to the unit (by means of the circuit breaker, as soon as I flipped the circuit breaker switch to the "on" position, I heard the F&P DS605i emit its friendly chirp ... followed by fourteen blinks of the little green light on the front .. followed by nothing (no more blinking lights). And If I press the "Power on-off" button located on the outside of the unit, to the left of the center "start/pause" button, the little green light above the "start/pause" button blinks fourteen time, then ... stops. Silence.
The lid on this unit has never been stuck, and it's difficult (impossible) to open the lid during a wash or rinse cycle (the lid is locked shut when operating), so not one attempted to open the lid by force.
I do beliieve the lid is closing fully con completely. There are two spring-loaded plastic gizmos inside the unit, situated at the back of the rails that support the washer tub ... and these spring-mounted plastic gizmos appear to function in a manner that firmly "pulls" the lid closed when the lid is very nearly closed. These spring-loaded plastic gizmos appear to be working as usual. I don't think the problem is that "the machine thinks the lid is open".
Here is one detail that may be meaningful. The large "start/pause" button in the center of the three-button array on the front has no "forward travel" when the button is pressed. The "power on/off" button to the left and the "lock" button to the right DO have forward travel .... but the center "start/pause" button has no forward travel .... which does suggest that the machine thinks it is still in the midst of a wash or rinse cycle.
I could (carefully) remove the user-supplied front panel from the front of the unit and investigate the main logic Board (or whatever "brains" exist behind that front panel which directs the unit to do the various wash and rinse cycles. Do you recommend that course of action? Any suggestions?
I wrote a detailed response to allbrands query, the I clicked "Submit", but my detailed response to allbrands is not visible on the website. Did allbrands receive my response?
Sadly my very detailed response to allbrands, typed into the fixya.com website today, was not preserved by fixya.com after I clicked the "submit" button.
So I will type my detailed response to allbrands one more time, and hope that fixya.com accepts my response when I click the "submit" button.
Allbrands asks: "Are any of the cycle lights lighting up like rinse and normal..."
Yes. When I pull open the lid on the F&P DS605i, I hear the familiar chirp, and I see a narrow control panel, and on that control panel the red lights for the settings called "Heavy" and "Normal" and "Fast" and "Delicate" and "Rinse" and "Eco" do light up.. And I can toggle from setting to setting by pressing the arrow button located to the left of "Heavy" on the control panel inside the lid. Each time I press the arrow button, the light advances to the next setting, and I hear a beep, as normal.
Allbrands asks: "... and
is the light on front blinking and pausing if so how many times is it
blinking?"
The front of the F&P DS605i has a three-button array. The green light above the central "start/pause" button blinks 14 times, then stops. When I press the "power/on" button to the left of the "start/pause" button, I hear the familiar chirp and watch the green light above the "start/pause? button blink 14 times, then stop. Followed by silence.
Allbrands recommends: "Try turning the power off too the unit for five minutes and
back on, because if the lid was open some or was stuck it can stop the
unit from running."
I turned off the power, by means of the circuit breaker, for 45 minutes. And when I turned the power back on, wen I flipped the switch on the circuit breaker, I heard the F&P DS605i emit the familiar chirp, and the green light above the "start/pause" button on the front of the unit blinked 14 times, then stopped blinking. Followed by silence.
No one tried to open the lid when the unit was last working. The lid it locked shut when the unit is washing or rinsing. And I to not beleive my unit is experiencing the "dishwasher thinks the lid is open" problem, because the lid on my unit does close tight, and when the lid is being closed, two spring-loaded plastic gizmos (which are mounted on the rails the support the wash tub inside the unit) to appear to be doing their job. They pull the lid inward securely.
The water pipes that are connected to the F&P DS605i are working, as normal. So I don't think the unit shut off for lack of water. And there was not an unsual amount of water inside the unit when it went kaput. There does not seem to be any blockage inside the unit.
I CAN REMOVE the user-supplied front panel and inspect the circuitboard that serves as the "brains" of the F&P DS605i ... do you suggest I do that? And if I do that, what should I look for?
HERE IS ANOTHER DETAIL that might help diagnose the problem. I notice something in the three button array on the front of the unit: the left-hand button ("Power on/off") and the right hand button ("Lock") do have forward travel, which means I can push inward and something happens when I push those buttons; but when I push the central "start/pause" button, there is no forward travel. Nothing happens when I push the central button, which I would expect when the unit is in the midst of a wash or rinse cycle. Does that tell you anything?
I hope fixya.com accepts this response when I click the "submit button...
