Fisher & Paykel Double DishDrawer Not Starting – Runaway Bay

Fisher & Paykel Double DishDrawer Not Starting – Runaway Bay

A customer in Runaway Bay contacted ISB Electrical because their Fisher & Paykel double DishDrawer would not start the cycle. The machine powered on, but the drawer lid was not sealing correctly, preventing the dishwasher from beginning normal operation.

Fisher & Paykel DishDrawers rely on lid actuators to pull the internal lid down and seal the drawer before the wash cycle starts. If the lid does not seal properly, the machine may not start, may stop immediately, or may show beeping/flashing lights.

Inspection and Diagnosis

• Checked the DishDrawer power supply and safety condition
• Confirmed the double DishDrawer was not starting the cycle
• Checked both drawers for correct closing and lid movement
• Inspected the lid sealing operation
• Checked the lid actuators and drawer mechanism
• Confirmed the actuators were not pulling the lid down correctly
• Checked for water leak risk caused by poor lid sealing
• Confirmed faulty lid actuators as the cause of the start failure

Fault Found

The fault was caused by faulty lid actuators. The actuators were not pulling the DishDrawer lid down correctly during the start sequence.

Because the lid was not sealing properly, the DishDrawer could not safely begin the wash cycle. The machine protects itself by preventing operation when the drawer seal is not correctly engaged.

Repair Required

The faulty lid actuators need to be replaced. After replacing the actuators, the drawer lid movement should be tested to confirm the lid pulls down correctly and seals the drawer before the wash cycle starts.

The DishDrawer should then be tested through the start and wash stages to confirm normal operation, correct sealing and no water leakage during the cycle.

Common Causes of Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer Not Starting

• Faulty lid actuators
• Lid not pulling down correctly
• Drawer not sealing before the cycle starts
• Damaged or dirty lid seal
• Drawer not closing properly
• Control module detecting an unsafe start condition
• Water leak or base pan fault from poor sealing
• Wiring or actuator connection fault
