What F6 means

On Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer DD605 series dishwashers, F6 means the lid motors ran but never reached the stall current that tells the controller the lid has finished moving. That points to an actuator that has come off its yoke or slide, a yoke that has come off the lid, or an actuator that has failed. Owners see F6 and a lid that moves loosely or not fully.

Common causes of F6

  • Actuator off its yoke or slide
  • Yoke detached from the lid
  • Actuator that no longer works
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Switch the unit off and on at its breaker. 2. Open the drawer and watch whether the lid moves evenly. 3. Remove anything caught near the lid. 4. Try one more cycle. If F6 repeats, leave it and call us.

! Why to stop there
  • Reconnecting an actuator needs the unit opened and the lid supported.
  • Running the drawer with a loose actuator can wear the parts.
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.

F6F6 questions
How is F6 different from F5?

F5 reports lid motor current that is too high, a sign of jamming. F6 reports the opposite pattern, motors running without ever meeting the resistance expected at the end of travel.

Does the lid move at all?

It often moves, but not the way the controller expects. A loose actuator or yoke lets it run freely. If you see the lid sagging or tilted, mention it when you call.

What will it cost?

We inspect the actuators and yokes first, then give a written price for the repair. Parts and labor are covered by our 30-day workmanship warranty.
