About Fisher & Paykel dishwasher error code A7
What A7 means on a dishwasher
The machine has detected excess foam in the drawer and has started its auto recovery program. This is the maker's own wording from the DishDrawer dishwashers user guide, not an interpretation of it.
What to do
- Let the auto recovery program finish — the wash resumes by itself when it is done.
- Check the detergent before running another program.
- If the drawer is still full of foam at the end of the program, it needs looking at.
