A6 on a Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer — plain-language overview; confirm against your model docs.

What this code means
This page provides general guidance while A6 is matched to Fisher & Paykel docs for the DishDrawer — current A-code generation platform. Confirm the label on your rating plate before relying on any interpretation.
Symptoms you may notice
- The DishDrawer control panel displays A6 during or after a wash cycle.
- The cycle may pause, stop early, or fail to start while A6 is shown.
- An indicator light or beep may accompany the A6 display.
Safe checks you can make
These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.
- Check that the drawer is fully closed and latched before restarting.
- Confirm the water supply tap is fully open and not kinked or restricted.
- Check that the drain hose is not kinked and the drain path / air gap is clear.
- Switch the DishDrawer off at the wall, wait about 60 seconds, then switch back on and retry once.
- Record the full model and serial number from the rating plate for reference.
Important safety warning. Do not open internal panels, remove covers, or access wiring or the control board. Do not bypass the drawer safety interlock. If you notice water pooling near electrical parts, a burning smell, or sparks, switch off power at the wall and call a professional immediately.
When to call a technician
A6 on a Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer is best confirmed against your manuals, then assessed by an independent tech if it repeats. Fisher & Paykel Appliance Repair can help with that next step.
Frequently asked questions
If there is water near electrics, smoke, a burning smell, or a gas odor, switch off and call a professional. Otherwise pause cycles, do the safe checks once, and book help if A6 persists.
Control generations differ. Treat A6 as a pointer for your serial, not a universal parts list.
