My Fisher Paykel double draw dishwasher has a F24 code for bottom drawer. I use the top draw constantly and today I thought I should run the bottom. I pulled out the metal filter and cleaned it. It was actually clean since not much use but it did come out hard and I had to pour a little water over it to loosen it. I then filled the DW and started the cycle. Not sure exactly when the code started but I noticed about 15 or 20 minutes after I had started it. When I opened it I could see that the arm that spins and sprays the water was not sitting correctly. Not sure if I started it like that or if that happened during the cycle. I took everything out and reseated the arms and tried to run it but the F24 code will not clear and it won’t start. I switched it to the upper draw but it keeps reverting back to the F24 code for the lower draw. How can I clear the code and try running it to see if that was the problem?
Fisher Paykel Dishwasher: My double drawer dishwasher has frequent E9 errors during washing cycle. The machine stops unfinished. The door cannot be opened. I have to unplug and then plug the power cable in order to open the door. Is there a fix to this problem?
My customer bought the Fisher and Paykel dish washer drawer and it never worked even once the error code is E5 and I checked the water coming into the machine and it comes from the supply no prob but I took the front off the machine and no water before the fill valve
