Fisher & Paykel Built-In Dishwasher Code A60: water temperature problem

What A60 means

Fisher & Paykel DW24U and DW60 built-in dishwashers, including the DW24U6I1 and DW24U2I1, display A60 for a water temperature error. The dishwasher has measured a temperature it cannot accept during the cycle and stops to protect itself. The guidance for owners is to switch the machine off and on again, and to seek service if the code remains. It appears on the display while the machine waits for you to act.

Common causes of A60

Temporary temperature reading error that clears with a restart
Temperature sensing circuit not reading correctly
Water heating that is not behaving as the cycle expects

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Press the power key to switch the dishwasher off, wait a minute, then switch it on. 2. Make sure the door latches fully. 3. Close the door fully and start a short cycle and watch whether A60 returns. 4. If it appears again, stop using the dishwasher and call us. Do not open the lower panel.

! Why to stop there

The cause is inside the temperature and heating circuit, which is not safe for owners to open.
Repeated restarts can leave dishes unwashed without helping.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

A60A60 questions

What does A60 mean?

It is a water temperature error. The dishwasher read a temperature that did not fit what it expected, so it halted the cycle and showed A60 on the display.

Will switching it off and on fix it?

That is the recommended first step, and it clears the code when the cause was temporary. If A60 returns on the next cycle, the temperature problem is real and needs a technician.

Is it safe to run the dishwasher with A60?

We suggest waiting. The code exists because the temperature is outside what the machine expects. A technician can test the sensing and heating, and you get a written price first.
