F4 on a Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer — plain-language overview; confirm against your model docs.

What this code means
Fisher & Paykel may reuse display labels across generations. For F4 on DishDrawer — F/U display fault codes, compare the on-screen text with your model’s error table.
Symptoms you may notice
- The DishDrawer control panel displays F4 during or after a wash cycle.
- The cycle may pause, stop early, or fail to start while F4 is shown.
- An indicator light or beep may accompany the F4 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.

Control generations differ. Treat F4 as a pointer for your serial, not a universal parts list.
