Our cycle button on the top drawer doesn’t work. Can you help us figure out what’s wrong?
Sorry, I haven't had that problem before.

Thank you! Very helpful🙌 I actually fixed my dishwasher due to your video, while a plumber is here fixing our washing machine. He’s been out here 4 times😪
I’ll be ordering a part today!
Thanks again
Awesome stuff... I'm so glad I filmed this, as I almost didn't bother making this video. Really appreciate you letting me know 🙌
Thank you for this video! So impressed with myself that I was able take apart my machine and the rotor looked exactly the same with 4/5 spokes missing. Ordered a new one and I don't have to pay for a technician to come out! THANK YOU.
Great! Glad to hear it helped 🙌
Ripper video, might Fisher wasn't draining properly and turns out the motor wears the same way! Thanks mate! Glad you posted!
This is the best use of UA-cam. Thanks mate
Happy to help
Had just the same problem, have swapped botton (which was good) to top and ordered new part to replace bottom drawer. Many thanks.
i also re-installed the pump incorrectly. Thanks to this video i resolved and all is now well. Thank you!
Very glad to hear it.... Thanks for commenting 👍👍
Can’t say enough good things about this video. Spot on! Had exactly the same issue. Thanks to this I have resolved the problem (ordered a new rotor motor.) Rarely comment, but felt that it was deserved given how helpful the video was. Thanks mate!
Thanks very much for letting me know. I almost wasn't going to video record this, but glad I did. Seems to be helpful to quite a few people. Cheers mate.
Yeah, thanx mate!! 😺. We have a Fisher & Paykel dishwasher in Pittsburgh, PA cos I loved the one we had when we lived in Australia. More gonna have to check that the rotor isn't the issue. It's still under warranty so not too worried yet.
Thank you! Sorted the problem out. So pleased to have stumbled across this.
Great to hear!
If you still have the five white blades on the rotor on the unit and not missing and they are very loose, lost their stiffness then try the following. White blades that have lost any firmness will not drain the washer. Coat the white blades with three rounds of super glue and let that sit overnight. This will restore the blade strength and water will drain out of the unit. Has worked for me and may save you a bit of money.
Great tip right there.... thanks!
Awesome tip mate, I have 4 blades 1 gone. Now instead of ordering a new one let me see if I can do your tip to solve my 115 bucks in AUD
@@kimifan2011 how did it go?
@@LoveCoRealEstate yes it worked. I have only applied 1 coat of super glue to my 4 blades. It worked for 4 days and then again got loose. So I applied 3 coats. Its working and water is getting drained out.
Mate. Cheers for the video. Exact same issue with the same model. Didn't need to replace any parts as I just didn't install the rotor correctly after pulling it all apart to clean it properly. Thought it might have been full of sludge. Legend!
Glad it helped!!
This was the PERFECT vid I was looking for. Thank you so much for your clear, well thought out instructions and details. Much appreciated mate!!
Great... Glad to hear it helped 👍👍
Great how to video mate. Perfect vid for any newbie like us to learn and stop giving 300 bucks to mechanic
Such a good problem solving video - especially where you inserted it wrong at first and then explained what you had done wrong and how you corrected it. That said, I would have loved to have seen you attempt the 3D print you mentioned, but maybe the risk of killing the entire dishwasher was too great.
Thanks...I would have love to attempt the 3D print but time was against me and I was under the pump, so to speak.
Thanks for a great video Mate, really useful!!!!
It’s so easy to jam the part in there improperly. Gotta ease it in. I probably would have never figured that out if it had not been for this video.
Thank you, sir. Hope you have a wonderful day 😊
So nice of you
Thanks to you; ive just outdad my dad
Awesome stuff:)
Exact same thing happened with ours. Only 4 years old. Irritating that impeller alone can't be replaced. Thanks for video!
My pleasure!
Thanks for this
Very helpful video..Thanks mate
My pleasure... Glad it was of use👍
Good video i have a similar problem but swapping the motors makes no difference the top drawer does not drain. I disassembled the unit and could suck air through the bottom drawer drain hose but not the top drawer.Looks like i am pulling it out of the cupboard to get the hose out and clear it.
Excellent, thank you.
Thank you. This was exactly my issue, and you saved me an unnecessary service call. I ordered the new part, and I am all set.
That's great... Thanks for the comment👍👍
Awesome video, just solved my problem. Thank you :)
Glad to hear it🙌
thanks very helpful
Great video. Thank you. Exact problem I had
Glad it helped
I have a old School Dishwasher, I made it 21 years ago, its called my son and daughter LOL.
🤣
Help need to install clips DD60SCXS
Spent jours can't work it out
Great video. Is there supposed to be some water standing in the drain?
A little water in the drain is no issue... A heap of water like I had is a big problem.
Running a rinse cycle isn’t the best test. My top dish-drawer drains when you run a rinse, but won’t drain in any of the other modes. Still no idea how, but that’s what is happening.
very simple system, im seriously thinking about buying the Cafe version of the F&P DW.
Would you recommend the new versions of this dishwasher?
Absolutely...my daughter just bought the brand new Fisher and Paykel dual drawer and I just installed it last night at her house for her. It's fantastic, I'd like to get one myself, but my old one still works well!! They got the 5 year warranty also from Good Guys. I'd always recommend get the extended warranty.
Fix it but don’t buy a new one
@@ryderearlesroblox8620 could you elaborate?
Serial number indicates this machine was manufactured in June 2008
What washing machine? do you have and I think dd actually stands for double drawer
Yes, DD does mean Dual Drawer.
Having this exact problem and just did this same thing exact I switched the bad one into the good one (so if it didn’t work I wouldn’t have to get a bucket and dump it again..) I’ve got 6 min left hopefully this is the issue 😂
Hopefully you got your issue fixed.
@@jelreviews yes it did ! However then it wouldn’t register the door was closed. After fuckin with it and just considering throwing it out the window..IT WORKED !
@@hanashable95Lol, great to hear... sounds like it'll live for a bit longer.
I have a top drawer fisher and pickle and it keeps coming up with the letter A3 can you tell me what it means please it keeps leaving water in the bottom of drawer I have mistlade can you please help me and I don’t mind paying for a new book mrs DivadaWilliams p.s I have always used fisher and pickle and found them to be very good but lately I seem to be calling them out regularly
Not sure what the A3 is as the fault code list is F1-F$,F9,U1
Does anyone know how to cancel it once it's started? Twice now I've accidentally pressed the start button when I am closing it. And it seems I have no choice but to let it run
Anyone have instructions for DD60DDFX9?
Where to buy parts? I have the exact same dishwasher!
Did you check the description?
Why didn’t you show how you changed it after installing incorrectly? I’m having the same problem but unsure how to install correctly??
It's pretty self explanatory... just take it out and take a close look, you'll see how it should sit nicely.
I wonder if you can tell me what might be wrong with our DD603; it refused to drain during a cycle and since then we're unable to get it working at all, but it doesn't display a fault code. It's been about a week and we're still waiting for the landlord to even approve the maintenance request, let alone book a technician, so the water that was in the tub has all drained away now, but when we try to start a cycle it just beeps four times. The first three beeps are the same note and the fourth is around five notes down. No error message is displayed on the LCD or the cycle selection LEDs, it just beeps and nothing changes. I cycled the power at the outlet but that didn't change anything, and I've removed / cleaned the base plate, impeller, and motor, and I've also disconnected the drain hose on the sink side but no water came out of it. I'm not able to disconnect the hose from the dishwasher side because I can't reach it, so I'm not sure if the hose itself is clogged.
Any idea what it could be? The fact there's no error code is very annoying, I would have thought that if the machine knows enough that it won't even let you start a cycle then it must surely know enough to tell you what it knows.
Cheers mate, appreciate any advice you might be able to offer.
Hmm, I'm no expert however I briefly checked some forums that seemed to suggest that if the dishwasher is beeping but no error codes, then it is likely to be a problem with the control board. I've had a few problems with mine over the years but generally there has usually been an error code for me to investigate further. Here's a site that might offer some other troubleshooting you could consider: machineanswered.com/fisher-paykel-dishwasher-troubleshooting/
And here's one more: www.easilyfixit.com/fisher-and-paykel-dishdrawer-dishwasher-beeping/
Sorry, can't help further than that, hope you get it fixed soon.
@@jelreviews I appreciate the reply mate, it's a head scratcher for sure. I'll check those links out, hopefully I'll at least be able to get a fault code to narrow things down.
It's fixed! So it turns out the beeping sound is the tone it plays when the drawer isn't closed properly, that's why there was no fault code. The reason it couldn't sense the drawer was closed is because some idiot who "repaired" this dishwasher a while back (before we moved in) snapped off a tiny little board support attached to the controller, and I guess over time the controller shifted until the alignment on the light sensor was out of whack so it could no longer properly detect whether the door was closed. The irony is that I almost figured this out myself when I had the machine in diagnostic mode, the key lock symbol is supposed to light up whenever the drawer is closed but I noticed it wasn't lighting up at all, however instead of realising that the sensor wasn't working I figured I must have misunderstood the manual, and disregarded it entirely.
To fix it, the technician had to add a screw to hold the controller in place so the sensor lines up with the two light channels next to it; not the best fix but the best he could do under the circumstance since there are no replacement boards available for the DD603 any more.
As for the leaking, he seems confident that it's caused by the dishwasher tablets we're using. The DD603 is a half-sized drawer model, and so using dishwasher tablets, which are designed for full sized models, causes the water to be excessively foamy. The DD603 detects the water level by measuring how many amps the motor draws as it's pumping water, and because the water is extra foamy the motor experiences less resistance and spins more freely, therefore drawing fewer amps, and it tricks the controller into thinking the water level is too low, so it keeps adding more water until it overflows. The solution is to switch to a powder detergent and use half as much as the recommended amount. Apparently the DD603 usually has two little plastic prongs in the detergent tray specifically designed to discourage you from using tablets, but some idiot has clearly snapped them off!
Anyway it's all fixed now, no more hand washing thank Christ. It's all quite ingenious really, utterly fascinating to learn how these machines work and the complex methods they use to determine various operating states.
I hope this helps someone else in the future, and thanks again for your kind advice!
