# 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.

### What the repair is

Conditions in this family end at [Dishwasher wash performance repair](https://fisherpaykelmiami.support/services/dishwasher-wash-performance-repair/) more often than anywhere else. The figure on that page is a starting point; the exact cost is confirmed after an on-site diagnostic and agreed in writing before anything is opened.
