Silence the beeping with one press of Power, then press it again to clear A11. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### How do I clean the element for Fisher & Paykel A11? Lift out the parts that sit above the element so you can reach it, then wipe the soil off gently with a damp soft cloth. After reassembly, an empty wash with detergent confirms whether A11 has cleared. ### What causes A11 on a Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer? The element overheated because soil built up on it. Cleaning the filter regularly helps prevent A11 from returning. --- **[Read on the site: Fisher & Paykel dishwasher showing A11](https://dishwasherrepair.center/error-codes/fisher-and-paykel-a11/)** **[Book a visit with DishwasherRepair.center](https://dishwasherrepair.center/schedule/)**
