Fisher & Paykel Dishwasher Repair - Will Not Run Errors Then Stops - Water Inlet Valve Diagnostics

[@bjwwong]

This video saved us having to purchase a completely new dishwasher. Thank you for posting such clear instructions for all of us F/P dishdrawer owners!!!!

[@captainbrian4243]

Excellent!!!!!! Code is displaying U6 on some units

[@elbrince]

Thank you so much for this video. Thanks to you, I was able to repair our DD24 F&P dishwasher. It was indeed the pump valve that was defective. But this was not as easy as you made it look. Although I had a towel under the line, when I unscrewed the main, there was so much water that came out, so much that I doubted myself if I even shut the main water to the house. I kept switching towel after towel. The Print Circuit Board, supplying the power to the controllers, got completely flooded. After finishing my work, I tried drying up the PCB as much as possible with all sorts of methods. It was not enough, once I switch the power on from the breaker, there was nothing. The unit was not powering up. I decided to user a hair dryer aimed at the bottom of the chassis. That helped, the power went on. But there were lots of errors, top drawer was giving an F9 error (electronic error), bottom drawer was causing top drawer to turn on and off for some reason and would not complete the Fast Check function test, the top drawer cycle selector menu was super sensitive and erratic. I thought I had burned the circuit or the controller. Finally, I simply left the dishwasher untouched for another 48 hours and when I switched the breaker back on, everything works fine. The FC function test works 100% and no errors with the water fill. Thank you once again, I could not have had the courage to fix this by myself if it wasn't for your video.

That video was exactly what I needed to fix my dishwasher. Thanks for doing the work and posting it. I don't know what I would have done without it.

[@SteveGaron]

That is awesome. Top drawer wouldn't work for me anymore, the bottom did but I never use it... so I swapped the valves until my replacement valve gets here. This saves me a ton of money and time. Thank you!

Great vids. My double drawer Fisher payKel dishwasher has been giving me a U6 code on the top drawer. I removed and cleaned the rotor, filter and impeller but still getting a U6 code even though the rotor spins fine and looks perfect. I even switched the rotor from the bottom drawer to the top to see if that would work, but still get the U6 code. I believe U6 Isn’t always displaced rotor, it can mean insufficient water pressure I hear? Any thoughts of what it may be since either roter doesnt work on top drawer? Thanks!

[@olsoncarlton]

Not my issue but learning how to do the diagnostic was very helpful. Thank you

Great video. I need to order a new valve before attempting this fix. After reading the comment about the main water line draining onto the floor, I’m thinking I will run “FU HO diagnostic until the water empties, after shutting off the water. Any thoughts on this procedure?

[@Mlee484]

Thank you so much for the video. It was not easy to do. But I did it!! Please keep posting new videos. :)

[@alexandrkorytko8724]

Good day. Is there any inline filter which can be plugged before the washer valve?

A6 error on top dishwasher

[@larryphillips4164]

Fisher Paykel model DD24SAX9 N single draw dish washer error code A6. Remedy was to replace the single water inlet valve part number 529827 24volt $18.00 Turn the breaker and water flow to the dishwasher off. Push the clips on the bottom sides of the draw and then push the rails/slides all the way in while pulling the draw out, be care to not bend the water lines and power cord. You have just enough room to lean the draw up and out of the way. Then take a small flat head screw driver and remove the plastic cover that’s covering the electronics etc. Pull the old inlet valve out of its holding spot (just gravity holding it there) and then detach the tiny 24v 2 wire electric cord connector from the water inlet valve, next put a thick towel under the water inlet valve that you’re replacing to catch residual water and unscrew the water input, next remove the blew hose clip (I used 2 tiny flat head screw drivers to separate the teeth) and then use a small flat head screw driver and work the hose off of the water valve and then pull the hose all the way off. Keep the old valve in case this isn’t what’s wrong with your unit. Put the new unit in reversing the steps said above. Test the dish washer for 5 minutes running water etc through the unit then turn the unit off and then after letting the water drip from the top of the dishwasher into the draw for 30 minutes, open the dish washer and shine a flash light under the draw and check for any leaks.

In my case the three quick beeps with no error codes on lower drawer was resolved by changing the electronic control module under the front panel of the lower drawer. Once changed the lower drawer immediately began working normally again. Hope this info helps someone else with same issue...

Hi. I was just watching your video. It was very informative. We have a problem with our double drawer dishwasher in that the top drawer thinks its open all the time and will not begin a cycle. There are no error codes. Is there some "drawer open indicator" part that can malfunction? When we go to start it, it just makes a little noise to indicate that the drawer is still open when in actual fact it's shut.

[@auzkta123]

Joseantonio Valverde we pulled it apart expecting to find the control board loose, therefore not seeing the door closed signal. The control board was ok though. On the body of the dishwasher to the right just behind the seal you will see a clear looking insert. Make sure it’s sitting snug back in the housing.. ours was not, pushed it back and now it’s working ok. !
