Fisher & Paykel DD60D2NX9

Answers and step-by-step fixes from the official Fisher & Paykel manual.

What does the display show or which light is on?

• F: A fault has occurred. An F code with continuous beeping means the dishwasher has detected a fault. You can try resetting it.
• A1: Water supply fault. The machine cannot get water. Check the tap and clear the fault.
• A3: Drawer cannot drain. The drain hose or connection may be blocked or kinked.
• A6: Spray arm has come loose. The spray arm has loosened or fallen off its mounting, or water pressure is too low.
• A7: Too much foam in the drawer. The machine has detected excess foam and is running an auto recovery program.
• A09: Sanitize temperature not reached. The water did not get hot enough for the Sanitize wash modifier to work.
• Continuous beeping with A or F code: A fault code is showing. Continuous beeping with a letter code means a fault has occurred in one or both drawers.
• Intermittent beeping: The dishwasher is paused. Intermittent beeping means the wash has been paused, not that there is a fault.
• 0 after Sanitize: Sanitize finished successfully. A 0 in the display with the SANITIZE light on means sanitization was successful.
• Rinse aid light bright red: Rinse aid is low. A bright red glowing or flashing light means it is time to refill the rinse aid.
• Salt light red: Water softener salt is low. A red salt indicator light means the salt reservoir needs filling.

Common problems

Dishes are not coming out clean

1. Is this the right wash program for how dirty the dishes are? Pick a heavier program for heavily soiled loads.
2. Can the spray arm turn freely? Make sure nothing is blocking it and it is correctly mounted.
3. Are the filter plate or drain filter blocked or fitted wrong? A blocked or badly fitted filter stops dishes getting clean.
4. Is there dried-on food left on the dishes? Scrape off food scraps before loading.

There is foam in the drawer

1. Are you using the right detergent? Only use detergent made for dishwashers.
2. Was there egg left on the plates? Rinse off excess egg before loading.
3. Is the rinse aid setting too high? Turn the rinse aid setting down.
4. Is the rinse aid dispenser plug closed properly? Make sure the plug is shut tight with the hand grip upright.

The drawer will not open

1. Is CHILDLOCK turned on? Turn CHILDLOCK off before trying to open the drawer.
2. Did autolock engage after you closed the drawer? Press any button and open the drawer within 30 seconds.

The dishwasher will not start

1. Is the power supply connected? Check the plug and power connection.
2. Is the drawer closed properly? Push the drawer firmly shut.
3. Is KEYLOCK or CHILDLOCK turned on? Turn the lock feature off.
4. Is the dishwasher stuck in Demo mode? If it is in Demo mode it will not run a wash.
