What F1 means

On Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer DD603 and DD605 series dishwashers, F1 means the flood sensor on the bottom controller has been activated for more than six seconds, which indicates water in the base. The drain pump runs to clear it. On a double DishDrawer both drawers are locked out, so owners cannot start either one while F1 is showing. It is one of the codes that stops both drawers.

Common causes of F1

  • Water collected in the base of the DishDrawer
  • Leak from the tub, hose or connection into the base
  • Flood sensor still wet after water has been removed
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Turn off the water supply to the DishDrawer. 2. Switch the unit off at its breaker. 3. Wipe up any water you can see around the drawer and the cabinet. 4. Leave the power off and call us. Do not restart the drawer until we have found where the water came from. Keep children away from the wet area.

! Why to stop there
  • Water in the base can touch live parts of the controller.
  • Finding the source means taking the unit apart.
  • Approval of a written price always precedes the work, which is covered for 30 days afterward.
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.

F1F1 questions
Why are both drawers dead when F1 shows?

On a double model, F1 locks out both drawers, because water in the shared base is a safety concern. Single units simply stop. Either way, the unit stays off until the base is dry and checked.

Can I run the drain pump again to clear it?

The unit already runs its drain pump when F1 sets. If water remains, more cycles will not help and may add water. Turn off the supply and call us.

How will you find the leak?

We dry the base, run a controlled test to see where water appears, then quote a written price for the repair. Our work carries a 30-day workmanship warranty.
