On this make a code belongs to the appliance rather than to a product line. These are the other conditions this machine can display, and the models that can show this one — a display often has more than one thing to say, and the model number decides what any of it costs to put right.

About Fisher & Paykel dishwasher error code F2
What the maker publishes about F2
It belongs to the motor rotor error family on dishdrawer dishwashers, and that is as far as the published information goes. The maker names the family and prints one instruction for every number inside it; it does not publish a separate meaning for this one. We publish what it publishes.
That is a smaller answer than a table would be and a more useful one than a guess. It tells a technician which half of the machine to begin in, and it stops a control board being quoted against a sensor condition.
What to do
- If no water is visible, turn the power off at the power supply and leave the dishwasher off overnight.
- Run a cycle without detergent. If the error clears, reduce detergent to no more than one teaspoon.
- If water is visible on the floor, turn off power and water and book a service.
- Check and remove any debris around the rotor.
- If the error continues, book a service.
- Check incoming water temperature is below 65°C.
- A tempering valve may be required. Book a service.
- These errors require a service technician. Book a service.
The same number means something else on another machine
F2 is not one condition on this maker — it is 3 of them, keyed to the appliance rather than to the number. See the same number on a refrigerator, the same number on a freezer. If the page you arrived from was about a different machine, it was describing a different problem.
What the repair is
Conditions in this family end at Dishwasher control & motor 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.
