What moves it
Why two of the same job cost different amounts
These apply at the same time and in both directions. Which of them is true of your kitchen is what the on-site diagnostic settles.
-
The part is an assembly, not a component
Replacing a motor and leaving a tired seal, or the reverse, is how a machine comes back in a month. They are quoted together and that is reflected in the figure.
-
Which drawer, on a double
The upper mechanism is often reachable in place and the lower one is not. That difference is established at the diagnostic and it is the single largest variable on this row.
-
Whether the front is a cabinet panel
Twenty-two of the fifty-one dishwashing models here are integrated. The panel comes off and goes back on aligned, and that is planned time rather than a surprise.
-
Whether anybody has pulled on a stuck drawer
A mechanism repair and a drawer-front repair are different jobs. If the drawer has been forced, say so — it changes what needs to be on the van.

What we actually do
The job behind the figure: what it involves, when a symptom points at it, and what we check first.

from $185 DishDrawer lid & seal repair
The repair that exists only on this maker. A DishDrawer has no door and no door gasket: a lid motor drives a seal down onto the top of the drawer and holds it there for the whole cycle. When that mechanism stops sealing you get water on the floor, a drawer that will not start, or a drawer that will not open at the end.
- Lid motor and lid seal checked as one mechanism
- Which drawer, on a double — they fail independently
- The drawer runs a full cycle under watch before we leave

About Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer lid & seal repair cost
Why there is no market band for this row
Because there is no market. A lid motor exists on this maker's drawers and nowhere else in a domestic kitchen, so the aggregator figures that inform every other row on this site have nothing to say about it. This one is set on labor plus a part sourced as an assembly, and we would rather explain that than quote a number borrowed from a different machine.
What moves it
Access, mostly. A drawer that can be worked on in place and one that has to come out of its cabinet opening are the same repair and not the same appointment. On a double, whether both mechanisms need attention or one.
What is included
Diagnosis of the mechanism rather than of the symptom, the part, the labor, refitting and aligning the cabinet panel where there is one, and a full cycle run and watched before the appointment ends. Exact cost is confirmed after an on-site diagnostic.

Questions about fisher & Paykel DishDrawer lid & seal repair cost
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing the drawer?
On a double, almost always — you are repairing half of a machine that is otherwise working, and the other half keeps running throughout. On an older single the arithmetic is closer, and you will get it in plain words with the figure.
Can you just replace the seal?
Sometimes, and where the mechanism is genuinely healthy we will. What we will not do is replace a seal against a lid motor that is on its way out, because you would be paying for the same appointment twice within the year.
Why is it more than a door gasket on a normal dishwasher?
Because it is not a gasket. It is a motorized mechanism that seals a drawer from above under pressure, and it comes apart and goes back together as a unit. The part is different and the labor is different, and the figure reflects both rather than the badge.
