On Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer DD605 series dishwashers, F8 is an earth leakage error, meaning electricity is leaking toward ground. The unit checks its ground connections, the wiring harness and the controller, and a harness or controller that has been exposed to water can trigger it. Owners see F8 and the drawer shuts down. The other drawer cannot be used with F8 present.
1. Switch the unit off at its breaker and leave it off. 2. Dry any water you can see on the floor or around the drawer. 3. Do not touch the wiring or run the dishwasher. 4. Call us so the leakage can be tested safely.
Electricity leaking toward ground can create a shock risk. The controller shuts the unit down when it detects it, so F8 should be handled with the power off until it is tested.
Water reaching the harness or controller is one of the causes. Even if everything looks dry, moisture inside the base can keep the leakage going, so we test the unit before it returns to service.
No. F8 is one of the codes that stops the whole unit, not just one tub. We check both drawers and give a written price before any repair work.
A technician diagnoses it on site and gives you the price in writing before any work starts.
