# Fisher & Paykel dishwasher error code FC

### What the maker publishes about FC

It belongs to the **communication error between drawers** 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.

### What the repair is
