Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Fisher & Paykel's own guidance for A70 on its dishwashers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Turn the machine off, then on again.

02

Run one cycle to see if the alarm repeats.

03

If it does, book a visit to have the temperature sensing checked.

Still there?

It usually turns into controls and sensors. Book with the code and the model number.

What not to do

Do not confuse A70 with A80. The guide ties A70 to temperature sensing and A80 to turbidity sensing.

Questions
about A70.

Can I clear A70 myself?
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.

Still showing A70?

Book with the characters exactly as shown, the full model number, and whether any water is on the floor — for a code, that is where the diagnosis begins.
