The maker publishes a separate article for each because they have almost nothing in common underneath, and this page is written the same way. ### Why this is the cheapest row on the site Because the commonest causes are cleanable rather than replaceable. A spray arm that has worked loose, a filter plate packed underneath, a dish over the dispenser, water arriving cool, or simply too much detergent in a small wash chamber — every one of those is put right in the visit without a part. We would rather charge you a diagnostic and tell you that than sell you a pump. ### When it is a repair A spray arm that will not stay seated or has lost its bearing. A heating element that no longer brings the wash up to temperature. A dispenser cover that does not release. A fill valve that lets the machine start a cycle underfilled. Those are parts, and they get a written figure. This article is based on: - Official manufacturer documentation - Internal repair procedures - Technician repair history - Company quality standards Before you book ## Questions about fisher & Paykel dishwasher wash performance repair This is the single most-linked article the maker publishes about these machines, and three of its four causes are free. Moisture in the dispenser before the tablet went in makes it stick. A dish leaning over the cover stops it opening. A short or cool cycle can end before a tablet has dissolved. What is left — the cover latch or its release — is a real repair, and it is worth ruling out the first three before booking anybody. Two different things wear that description. A chalky film that wipes off is mineral, and it responds to rinse aid and to the right detergent for hard water. A cloudy etch that does not wipe off is permanent damage to the glass from over-dosing and very hot water, and no repair reverses it — what we can do is stop it getting worse. Telling them apart is a fingertip test and it is worth doing before you call. On these machines drying is done with residual heat and a fan rather than a big heating element, so it is more sensitive to how the load is packed and to rinse aid than a conventional machine is. Plastic staying wet is normal. Everything staying wet is worth looking at: the element, the fan, or a cycle that is ending early. It is meant to. The maker publishes an article about it because it worries people: the drying fan runs on to pull moisture out of the drawer, and a second fan cools the electronics. What is not normal is a fan that never stops on a cold machine, or one that has become noticeably louder.
