Fixing Broken Dishdrawer Handle

[@mariannepantin1004]

Thank you so much. Repair company wanted $800 to replace handle. With your help I did it myself for $300. I’m so grateful and your instructions were very clear and easy to follow. Thx

[@stephenheise6995]

Thank you so much for this video - it made replacing the handle very straight forward. I would have spent a couple of hours trying to figure out that the top needs to be slid to the left!

[@davidg-m1768]

Gold - knowing which way to slide and how the various clips went saved a lot of time and possibly some breakage. Thanks for creating the content, it made the job very easy.

This has to be one of the best DIY guides I’ve used. Thanks bro

I had already priced a new dishwasher. I found your video and ordered two replacement handles. One was broken off from lifting the bottom drawer and the top was cracked because of too much tension exactly how you showed. Handles cost $307.90 for the pair. Taxes and shipping included. The new dishwasher would have cost around $1700. before taxes delivery and installation. It took me 1 hour to change them both while cleaning off the doors of soap scum buildup.Thank you for the easy to follow instructions. There will be clean dishes in Chicago once again!

Hello .. I am looking to buy one. Can you please share the link where you purchased this from? Currently seeing it at 200 on F&P site. Looking to see if I can get a better price somewhere else. Thanks

Thank you so much from a Kiwi living in Australia for the tuition......the top drawer handle broke about 3 years ago...used a bit of kiwi ingenuity....duck tape. Just received the new parts from an online Aus supplier for $170 for both drawers and boom 20 minutes later...brand new...Missus says I can now have a beer...I'm winning...

[@SamanthaAtkinson-j4m]

Thank you so much for taking the time to create this video. Made it simple for me to do step by step and saved us a call out fee.

[@Dan-x4m]

Dan, can't thank you enough for the video. I never would've gotten through this replacement on my own. Very much appreciated!

[@MelAu11]

Thank you so much, the instructions were so clear and simple that even I could replace this myself. My partner was so impressed. I got my replacement parts from eBay for $145 AUD for a set of handles. Thank you again

[@Max46423]

Thank you for showing us how to fix our dishwasher, the PCB was our problem, your video was so easy to follow, and not having a repairer close by in rural Western Australia, your help was invaluable. Best wishes and sincere thanks.

[@BeaSines]

Thanks a million. I watched your video a number of times. Ordered the replacement online. Had your video handy for reference and did it myself. Pretty good for a granny!

[@latui7350]

Love this company's commitment to repairability!

[@carminm.5458]

Excellent job of explaining how the handle is replaced on this Fisher & Paykel Dishwasher. I ordered the part online and will use your video as a reference. Thank you.

[@motrepairs]

Thanks!

[@archerreed8028]

Lifesaver when our handle replacement only really had instructions for the new brackets. Thanks a million mate!

[@TonyCBX6]

Many thanks for doing this video. Scored a kit with two new handles and was able to replace both in under an hour for just the cost of parts. Keep up the great work, it is a HUGE help! Gotta love that Kiwi ingenuity guys!!!

[@motrepairs]

Thanks, and you're welcome.

[@Cynthia-df7qy]

Awesome video, I replaced two handles by myself without a handyman 😅

[@DaveAtkin-m4z]

Thanks for a great video. Both handles had broken on our dish drawer and thought it was going to be a new dish drawer. Sourced the new handles and with help of your video the job is all done. Thanks again. Dave

[@RogerandLesleyBruce]

Excellent explanation.Completed mine in 10minutes.First watched Video.Thanks Dan 😊

[@francr4]

Thanks for posting . The instructions were precise and the explanation of how different parts fit were extremely helpful.

[@richardneeson6950]

Thanks for the very easy to follow instructions.

[@deenagarrison8584]

Thank you so much for this video! I have had the replacement part now for 6 years and never got it fixed because the repair people quoted me $300 to change this out. Given the part cost me $250, I was not going to spend $300 to install it. Thanks for saving me money!!

[@motrepairs]

Wow that is a lot to charge for the install without the cost of the part. its usually a pretty quick job once you know what you are doing. I'm glad I could help

[@ra281977]

Thanks heaps ! The instructions that fisher and paykel were minimal to replace..there was no mention of the sliding off of the top panel! I did it Thanks to your awesome video. Your amazing😀

[@TrishRudolph-wz4im]

Excellent video tutorial, you made this completely doable, thank you

[@punkin14ellie]

Awesome instructions. I was able to replace it during the first intermission of the VGK hockey game. Thanks!

[@AaronTom-o8s]

Thank you so much! very step-by-step straightforward guide! I managed to do it for my bottom drawer in 20min!

[@devangraval5368]

Thank you. This was very well explained and detailed. Much appreciated. I was able to easily replace the handle with your video.

[@micdcosta]

Great video! I was able to change the handle, the front panel, the motor and o ring thanks to your clear instructions

[@HarryBellingham-yr2uz]

Thank you so much, fantastic video and very easy to follow you saved me a lot of head scratching and I was able to fix my dishwasher super fast

[@OssianHowley]

Legend. Amazing video. Took me probably two hours to do it everything (including 20 minutes to find this video!).

[@Sirrammt]

Great vid. Had it done in 9mins! Perfect step-by-step instructions and tips. Thanks team.

[@AndrewRankin]

Excellent! This is the only reference I could find anywhere to the inherent weakness of the original designed handle. After about 10 years one of the tabs just snapped off on our top drawer. My challenge now is finding these kits in Ireland, which will certainly be trickier than the repair itself, but I know exactly what I'm looking for now. Many thanks.

[@motrepairs]

You can buy some parts direct from FP UK website (Im assuming they will ship to Ireland). If you go to www.fisherpaykel.com/uk/ and type part number into the search box in top right: Stainless is 512487P for one or 512484P for kit of two, White is 512488P for one or 512485P for kit of two, Black is 512489P for one or 512486P for two.

[@AndrewRankin]

Thanks again. I had looked at the FP Ireland site and didn't find any spare parts there. Not expecting much, I then tried calling the Irish customer support number and they gave me an email address which I contacted about getting the parts. I got a reply very quickly and an invoice link to purchase the items direct. €100 all inclusive for the two handle kit, which seems a bit steep for some plastic mouldings, but I'm very pleased they were even available at all.

[@motrepairs]

@@AndrewRankin That converts to pretty similar prices to here. The parts aren't cheap for dishdrawer part unfortunately.

[@wufflesthespider]

@@AndrewRankin better than the £200 for the twin kit over the water in the UK currently. Unless I'm looking in the wrong places :) - I should add, I'm not paying that, I'm breaking out the epoxy to nurse our 14 year old dishwasher along for a few more years.

[@warrenlancaster286]

Very clear instructions thanks for taking the time to make this . Many thanks

[@mulaco]

Thank you so much - this made life so much simpler, so kind of you to put this video together!

Very helpful , best instruction video I have watched cheers, made me look like I new what I was doing

[@the4finger]

Thankyou very much! Top handle had pulled off and the fascia was cracking on bottom for mine so did both at the same time with your tutorial and couldn't be easier. Legend.

[@motrepairs]

That's great, You're welcome.

[@brentjeffares6353]

This is brilliant. Top marks. Much appreciated.

[@sunilsawant8174]

Great video. Thanks heaps. Made changing my handles real easy 👍

[@kimharvey4061]

Thanks so much I appreciate the time you took to record the video was really helpful!

[@JohnandKathleenMcKenzie]

Super video! Really clear and easy to follow. Job done in 20mins... Thank you so much.

[@fastbike9845]

You make a comment about the hook in the rail (slide) at 9:00 but then the screen shows a correction. My dishdrawers do have the hook on the slide so make sure the slide is fully forward before fitting the pin. Otherwise a very straight forward repair so thanks for the video. This is one of the reasons I like F&P appliances.

[@motrepairs]

Obviously my memory from an older model was coming through haha.

[@davidrumsey3180]

Thanks... well explained, everything I needed to know. Job done!

[@Grahamperkinson28]

Awesome step by step guide!! Job done in 15 minutes! Thanks!!

[@timheller]

[@murraymannion1142]

Thanks so much. Very clear and easy to follow.

[@maxreynolds679]

Great instructions, thank you.

[@deannightingale4285]

Thanks for this video, Brilliant.

[@TomMaryJohnson]

Thank you. These DD60xxx parts fit the U.S. version DD24xxx models also. 60cm = 24 inch.

[@JonoRoss]

Thanks, very helpful.

[@natersoz2]

Thank you so much for this! Worked perfectly!

[@motrepairs]

👍

[@gregoryluskie5961]

Excellent!, easy to follow video

[@jimmyboy630]

Thanks for this. My bottom dish drawer (F&P) aluminum handle has ripped off the plastic molding (disintegrated plastic), product DD60DCW9. :(

[@jumblyman]

Thanks Dan, awesome!

[@BIZPIX1]

Great Work - Thank you. Would you know if a Integrated control badge from a DS/DD603 work on a newer DD60X?

[@motrepairs]

I haven't tried sorry.

[@robpowell5919]

Excellent. Thanks

[@AndyMcBlane]

Great video thanks mate. Not a bad job

[@junglegus]

Mate - thank you very kindly. This worked perfectly - As a kiwi in NYC - couldn’t have loved it better. And in case you’re wondering - a bit of a rarity tonight. We were both right. In sequence of events (that isn’t perfectly sequential)- and I trust you can figure out who was me or my wife - a) you shouldn’t fix it while a bit tipsy b) I can c) you’re a fucking idiot, d) dan from motuekas interactions are perfect e) I did miss putting some of the parts back in f) that soothing kiwi voice is ideal g) dishwasher works h) yeah boi

[@KudretBayram]

Perfect, thanks mate.

[@sujitkalidas1313]

Legend thanks!

[@georgemcnamara9122]

Thanks!

[@evilTuninvited]

You da man.

[@gregred2772]

Thank you for a very helpful and detailed video. I have the same model DD60DCX7 with an E4 error code which indicates the heater is faulty. Do you have any tips before I get a replacement part# 522090 and try to fit? Thanks.

[@motrepairs]

Usually is the heater plate, main thing is actually after you have fitted the new heater plate make sure that the controller isn't faulty and sticking the heater on continuously. Pretty rare but I have seen it happen. Tip is to use vaseline on the o-ring seal to get it to stay in place in the tub groove as you assemble. And of course check earth continuity after as that plate has mains voltage and is in direct contact with the water should anything go wrong. A bit more then I would recommend for a non-technician but isn't difficult as such.

[@mirthaperez8516]

My top drawer is locked and I can't open even if I use unlock function.

[@motrepairs]

do you mean key lock or physically lid is locking drawer closed? If the drawer wont open when powered off and back on then it could be something to do with the controller

[@DabblelyDiddly]

dude.... with as modular and service friendly as this is... i want one.
