Fisher & Paykel Built-In Dishwasher Code FA0: electronics or power supply

What FA0 means

On Fisher & Paykel DW24U6I1 and other built-in dishwashers from the DW24U platform, FA0 reports an electronics or power supply error. The control is not getting the stable internal power it needs, or its electronics are not working as they should, so the dishwasher stops and shows FA0. Owners often find the keys unresponsive until power is removed and restored.

Common causes of FA0

Control electronics that no longer work correctly
Power supply inside the dishwasher not delivering stable power
Poor supply from the household circuit

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Turn the dishwasher's breaker off for about a minute, then back on. 2. Confirm that other appliances on the same circuit have power. 3. Switch the dishwasher on and start a short cycle. 4. If FA0 returns, keep the breaker off and call us.

! Why to stop there

Power supply problems involve mains voltage inside the machine.
Repeatedly restarting a failing power supply can damage the control further.

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.

FA0FA0 questions

Does FA0 mean the outlet is bad?

Not necessarily. The code names the dishwasher's own electronics or power supply. It is still worth checking that the circuit has power, because a weak household supply can cause similar behavior.

Why does the dishwasher stay dead after FA0?

When the internal power supply or control is struggling, the display and keys may not respond. Cutting power at the breaker lets the electronics reset, but a repeat of FA0 means a part needs testing.

How do you handle an FA0 repair?

We test the supply and control on site, tell you what is failing, and give a written price before we replace anything. Our work comes with a 30-day workmanship warranty.
