On Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer Series 9 models such as the DD24DI9 and DD24DCTX9, and on the DW24UDT2X4 built-in, A6 means the spray arm has loosened or come off its mounting, or the water pressure is too low, sometimes together with excessive foaming. On the DW24U X4 built-ins, the message is that the spray arm is loose and must be secured to the rotor.
1. Open the drawer or door and pull out the lower rack. 2. Check the spray arm sits on its mount and is secured to the rotor. 3. Use only the recommended amount of dishwasher detergent. 4. Confirm good pressure at the kitchen tap, then restart.
It is mostly a simple problem. A loose spray arm or weak pressure triggers it. Reseating the arm and checking pressure often ends the code.
With the rack out, press the arm onto its mount until it seats, and on the DW24U X4 models make sure it is fixed to the rotor. Spin it by hand to check it moves freely.
Yes, excessive foaming can make the pump lose pressure. Use dishwasher detergent only, and in the recommended amount. If A6 returns, we can inspect the unit with a written price.
A technician diagnoses it on site and gives you the price in writing before any work starts.
