About Fisher & Paykel dishwasher error code A80
What A80 means on a dishwasher
Alarm error. This is the maker's own wording from the Built-in drop-door dishwashers user guide, not an interpretation of it.
What to do
- Switch the dishwasher off and on again.
- If the code persists, it needs a technician.
Note the code down before you clear it. On this maker it is the one piece of evidence that disappears the moment power is cycled, and it is the first thing anybody will ask you for.
