Fisher & Paykel DD605 Double DishDrawer Repair Guide
No longer sold new, the DD605 double drawer is still working in plenty of kitchens, often in the same cabinets it was first installed in. It also comes as DD605SS and DD605I, which differ in their fronts. Nine programs, half-load operation and a mounting that isolates the motor made it a quiet machine in its time.
After this many years the signs of age are very consistent. A latch that does not close all the way, or will not let go, is the most common. Cloudy dishes follow a clogged filter or spray arm, slow drains point to the pump or hose, and the display can start to flicker or fade.
We handle one drawer at a time, running the filter, spray arm, drain pump and hose, then the latch and panel. A written price is given first, and the repair has a 30-day workmanship warranty.
Yes. DD605SS and DD605I share the base model's wash system. We note the front finish, then check filter, drain, latch and controls as usual.
The latch may be worn or held by a stiff seal. We examine both, and avoid forcing the front, which could bend the mechanism.
Yes, each drawer runs on its own, so you can wash a small load in one. If one has trouble, the other often keeps working, which helps us compare.
Book in about a minute, or call the desk. Same-day windows inside the Loop on most days, next-day across the rest of Houston.
