# Fisher & Paykel dishwasher error code F30

### What F30 means on a dishwasher

Flooding: the flood switch has been activated. This is the maker’s own wording from the Built-in drop-door dishwashers user guide, not an interpretation of it.

### What to do

- Turn the dishwasher off and on again.
- If it comes back, turn the water off, disconnect the machine from power and call for service — this one is water in the base, not a glitch.

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.

### The same number means something else on another machine

F30 is not one condition on this maker — it is 4 of them, keyed to the appliance rather than to the number. See [the same number on a refrigerator](https://fisherpaykelmiami.support/error-codes/error-code-f30-refrigerator/), [the same number on a wine cabinet](https://fisherpaykelmiami.support/error-codes/error-code-f30-wine-cooler/), [the same number on a freezer](https://fisherpaykelmiami.support/error-codes/error-code-f30-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 leak repair](https://fisherpaykelmiami.support/services/dishwasher-leak-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.
