What a technician must be able to justify
A technician is coming
These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.
These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.
Wash motor check
What they doWith the drawer unpowered, the technician inspects the rotor, the motor and its control electronics and measures against Fisher & Paykel specification.
They must show youthe measurement against the specification or the damaged part.
In writingwhat was checked, the result and the reference of any replaced part.
Test wash
What they doAfter the repair, the technician runs a programme and checks the drawer washes without F2.
They must show youthe finished programme with no code.
In writingthe test and the date.
Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.
Checks and evidence, step by step
Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.

Debris around the rotor
No special tools
Procedure
- Who:
- you, no tools.
- How:
- with the power off, open the drawer, remove the dishes and look around the rotor; remove any bones, seeds, glass or debris by hand.
- Result that matters:
- a rotor free of debris.
- If there was debris and the drawer washes without F2 afterwards:
- that was the cause.
- If it was clean or F2 returns:
- book a service.
- Evidence to keep:
- a photo of what you removed.
With the power off at the wall. Remove any glass carefully and do not dismantle the rotor or motor parts.

What it means
Fisher & Paykel describes F2 as a motor rotor fault on its DishDrawer models. The rotor is the turning part of the wash motor, reached from the base of the drawer. The only check the manufacturer gives is to look for and remove debris around the rotor with the power off at the wall; if the fault continues, book a service. The code does not say whether the rotor is jammed by dirt or the motor or its electronics have failed: a technician separates that.
Warnings and stop conditions
- Mediumsource verified
Always switch off at the wall before putting your hand near the rotor: it is the moving part of the wash motor.

Symptoms and causes
Probable causes · in order
- Debris jamming the rotorPossible
This is what Fisher & Paykel asks you to check. If there is debris around the rotor and the drawer washes without F2 once removed, that was the cause.
Evidence: F-code displaying on DishDrawer Dishwasher
- Motor or motor control faultCommon
If F2 continues with a clean rotor, Fisher & Paykel says to book a service. It may be the motor or its electronics; the code does not separate them.
