# Fisher & Paykel dishwasher showing A1

A DishDrawer drawer did not get the water it needed to wash.

## What A1 actually means.

A DishDrawer drawer did not get the water it needed to wash. The drawer beeps and its lights flash until the alert is cleared.

Fisher & Paykel dishwasher display

What to do when A1 shows on the dishwasher

### Kind of code Water supply

Not enough water arrived, or it arrived too slowly. The supply valve under the sink and the inlet screen are checked before the fill valve itself.

### Usually leads to Fill and water valve repair

A dishwasher that will not fill, fills too little, or keeps filling, traced through the valve, the float and the supply.

### Shows up as Dishwasher Not Filling With Water

The cycle starts and hums, but little or no water comes into the tub.

### Make Fisher & Paykel

The maker of the DishDrawer, alongside conventional built-in dishwashers.

### Source Fisher & Paykel user guide, Series 7 DishDrawer (DD24DCTX9 family): 'A' codes

DishDrawer dishwashers, Series 7, 9 and 11. Where a DishDrawer panel has no number display, A1 is shown as the light pattern the guide prints beside it.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Fisher & Paykel's own guidance for A1 on its dishwashers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Check that the water supply to the dishwasher is turned on.

02

Press Power once to stop the beeping and again to clear the alert, then press Start to carry on with the wash.

03

If A1 keeps returning with the water on, book a visit.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [fill and water valve repair](https://dishwasherrepair.center/services/fill-and-water-valve-repair/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

Do not assume both drawers have the problem. On a double DishDrawer each drawer reports its own code, and the other one can keep working.

## What you may notice with it.

## Questions about A1.

### Can I clear A1 myself?

Check that the water supply to the dishwasher is turned on. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### How do I stop the beeping for Fisher & Paykel A1?

Press Power once to silence it and once more to clear the alert, then Start to continue the wash. Check the water supply is on first.

### Does A1 on one DishDrawer affect the other drawer?

No, each drawer reports its own code on a double DishDrawer. The other drawer can keep working while you sort out the one showing A1.
