Turn the machine off, then on again. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Is Fisher & Paykel A70 the same as A80? No, A70 is tied to temperature sensing and A80 to turbidity sensing. The guide treats them separately. ### What should I do when my Fisher & Paykel shows A70? Turn it off and on, then run one cycle. If A70 returns, the temperature sensing needs to be checked. --- **[Read on the site: Fisher & Paykel dishwasher showing A70](https://dishwasherrepair.center/error-codes/fisher-and-paykel-a70/)** **[Book a visit with DishwasherRepair.center](https://dishwasherrepair.center/schedule/)**
