Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer F1 Error – Nerang
A customer in Nerang contacted ISB Electrical because their Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer was showing an F1 error. The machine had detected water in the base pan and stopped operation for safety.
The F1 error on a Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer usually indicates that the flood switch has detected water in the base of the appliance. This can happen when there is a leak from the drawer, lid seal area, hoses, drain system, inlet valve or internal components.
Inspection and Diagnosis
- Checked the DishDrawer power supply and safety condition
- Confirmed the Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer was showing F1 error
- Inspected the base pan for water detection
- Checked for signs of leaking during the wash cycle
- Inspected the lid sealing operation
- Checked the lid actuators and drawer sealing movement
- Tested the appliance to identify when the leak occurred
- Confirmed the lid was not sealing correctly during the cycle
Fault Found
The F1 error was caused by water leaking into the base pan. The DishDrawer detected water in the lower base area and stopped operation to prevent further damage.
The cause of the leak was the lid not sealing properly during the cycle. The lid actuators were not controlling the lid seal correctly, allowing water to escape during operation.
Repair Completed
The faulty lid actuators were replaced. After replacement, the lid sealing operation was checked to confirm the drawer was sealing correctly during the wash cycle.
The DishDrawer was tested after the repair to confirm there was no further water leaking into the base pan and the F1 fault was resolved.
