What U2 means

On Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer DD605 series dishwashers, U2 means lid travel was restricted: the lid reached stall current too soon. Dishes or cups projecting above the tub can block it, or the lid, actuators or yokes may be jammed. The lid retries three times before the code is logged. Owners see U2 and a lid that stops short. The code is logged only after those retries.

Common causes of U2

  • Dishes or cups sticking up above the tub
  • Lid jammed
  • Actuators or yokes jammed
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Open the drawer and look for any dish, cup or utensil standing above the rim. 2. Rearrange the load so everything sits below the top of the tub. 3. Close the drawer and run a short cycle. 4. If U2 returns with a clear load, call us. Never force the lid by hand.

! Why to stop there
  • Moving the lid by force can damage the actuators.
  • If the load is not the cause, the lid mechanism needs inspection.
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.

U2U2 questions
Why does a tall cup cause U2?

The lid closes onto the tub, and anything projecting above the rim stops it early. The motors then reach stall current sooner than expected, and the controller reports restricted travel.

Does it try again by itself?

Yes, the lid retries three times before the code is logged. That is why you may hear the lid move more than once before U2 appears.

What if the load is fine?

Then the lid, actuators or yokes are catching somewhere. We inspect the mechanism, quote the work in writing, and cover the repair with our 30-day workmanship warranty.
