Fisher & Paykel F3 on a DishDrawer: water temperature fault
Risk level
Medium
Proceed carefully and stop if the check is unclear.
Urgency
Medium
Quick answer
Fisher & Paykel links F3 on a DishDrawer to a water temperature fault. Check the incoming water is below 65 °C; if it arrives hotter, a tempering valve may be needed. Either way, book a service.
Safety first
Stop and check this first
- Inlet water above 65 °C can scald when you handle the connection: let a plumber measure and adjust it, and do not open the drawer internals.
Safe checks you can perform
- Code and model for the service
- Power off at the wall
- Inlet water temperature
Leave these tasks to a qualified professional
- Do not attempt this professional task: Inlet temperature adjustment
- Do not attempt this professional task: Drawer temperature diagnosis
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.
Inlet temperature adjustment
What they doA plumber measures the water temperature at the dishwasher connection and, if it is above 65 °C, assesses fitting a tempering valve.
They must show youthe temperature measured before and after.
In writingthe final temperature and the parts fitted.
Drawer temperature diagnosis
What they doWith the drawer unpowered, the Fisher & Paykel technician checks the appliance temperature measurement against the model specification.
They must show youthe measurement against the specification.
In writingwhat was checked, the result and the reference of any replaced part.
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.

- Result that matters:
- no power to the drawer while you look at it.

Inlet water temperature
No special tools
Procedure
- Who:
- you or a plumber.
- How:
- find out whether the dishwasher is on the hot supply and measure the water at a nearby tap on that line with a thermometer after running it.
- Result that matters:
- knowing whether the water comes in below 65 °C.
- If it reaches 65 °C or more:
- ask a plumber about a tempering valve, as Fisher & Paykel suggests.
- If it is below:
- the plumbing is ruled out; book a service.
- Evidence to keep:
- the thermometer reading and the tap you used.

What it means
Fisher & Paykel describes F3 as a water temperature fault on its DishDrawer models. Its guide asks you to check the incoming water is below 65 °C, says a tempering valve may be required and recommends booking a service. In other words, the code may come from water that is too hot in the house plumbing or from a temperature measurement problem in the drawer itself; the code alone does not separate the two.

Symptoms and causes

Evidence: F-code displaying on DishDrawer Dishwasher
- Temperature measurement fault in the drawerPossible
If the water comes in below 65 °C and F3 continues, the cause is inside the appliance. Fisher & Paykel says to book a service to diagnose it.
